Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2 was announced back in December at the end of the final episode of season 1.
Scheduled for release in April 2022, the series has finally released the official trailer, giving us a sneak-peek into everything fans can look forward to in the second season of this refreshing slice-of-life romantic comedy.
Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2: Everything we know about
What does the official trailer tell us?
The official trailer for Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2 begins with a profile shot of Komi Shoko walking into school and the narrator explaining what a communication disorder is, adding that just because one is unable to communicate does not mean that they don’t want to.
This was highlighted throughout the first season, highlighting Shoko’s attempts to make friends and reveal her true self, hidden behind her ‘kuudere’ facade.
The scene transitions into the show’s chaotic cast, with the students of Class 1 fighting to have Komi join their groups for the upcoming school trip. Komi, who was never invited in such a manner before, being put up on a pedestal instead, is overwhelmed.
In his own uncanny way, Tadano correctly reads her expression and smiles. Tadano, Najimi, Komi, and Nakanaka discuss winter vacation plans.
The trailer also brings two new characters into the limelight: the delinquent Katai Makoto, who tries to befriend Tadano, and the show’s trademark awkward and hilarious shenanigans ensue.
The second new character introduced in the trailer is Naruse Shisuto, who radiates “main character” energy. However, it is made explicitly clear by Kometani Chusaku that it is only inside his head. He sets his sights on Tadano’s seat beside Komi, and it remains to be seen how that goes.
The final section of the official trailer for Komi Can’t Communicate season 2 focuses on Tadano looking back on Komi’s expression during the cultural festival and struggling to come to terms with his feelings for her.
The trailer ends with a glimpse of how far Shoko has come in terms of overcoming her communication disorder, even being able to verbally tell Tadano that she’s looking forward to their school trip.
The trailer ends with a medley of scenes from season 2, showing us glimpses of recurring characters like Onemine, Otori, Yadano, Agari, Nakanaka and Yamai.
