More of the same with Komi’s friends ranging from disturbing to quirky. BUT Komi’s made some serious progress this volume and seems to be getting a crush on a close friend.

2.5 ( )

A flat volume in a previously enjoyable series. Four new characters were introduced as potential friends to the detriment of the core cast's time to interact with each other. And the new characters were not particularly interesting: a narcissist and his sidekick who interprets his behavior; a girl who likes yo-yos and another girl without even that level of quirk.

The goal of the series is for the title character to gather 100 friends. If this is the level of people she'll be getting, the series could go downhill rapidly as she pursues the remaining 79. Hopefully, she'll realize soon that it is the depth of the friendships that matter, not the headcount. ( )
