HOW TO COMMUNICATE
EVEN MONKEYS CAN TALK
KOMI
-ICY TOUCH
-FLINCH
Hey-ho, Komi!
FIDGET
-Good morning Ko…
-STARTLE
Oh, yeah.
When a person has extreme social anxiety,
they struggle to communicate with others.
Bear in mind…
NERVOUS
Hm?
What's up with Komi?
Did something happen?
-ICY TOUCH
-FLINCH
Bear in mind.
They only struggle to form connections.
It doesn't mean they don't want to.
However…
Komi still doesn't know.
She doesn't know
the harsh fate that awaits her.
This well-known hellscape,
Itan Private High School.
Though it's a famous high school,
entrance is based on interviews only.
To pass, students must be unique.
In other words…
freaks,
weirdos,
loners,
miscreants…
and eccentrics fill the school.
Great rivals.
-Tender moments.
-YAMAI IS OBSESSED
But can our heroine
survive this battlefield?
Do it! 100 friends!
Do it! Be a master of communication!
What fate will befall Komi?
What are you doing?
Yeah! Anyway, Komi. Did you bring it?
I sent you a message this morning.
You know!

OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER
Oh, great!
What's that?
The people these past six months who…
-Never mind.
-Huh?
We'll use this to make…
-Ta-da! Komi's Book of Friends!
-JUST A MEMO PAD
Isn't that a copyright violation?
The rules are simple!
Give it to your friends
and they write their names!
But why?
Why not!
It'll be like a nature guide! It's fun!
Here, Komi!

Done already?
-NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN
-To reach 100 she needs 87 more.
TREMBLE
-It's already been six months.
-THAT'S PRETTY SLOW.
MISSION 45
"IT'S JUST A DELINQUENT."
My name is Makoto Katai.
I'm a regular high schooler.
My favorite food is Hamburg steak.
My least favorite is green peppers.
I'm a late bloomer, and kind of shy.
I'm not good at taking the initiative.
But I'm a normal high schooler.
IS KATAI A THUG?
STAFF ROOM
That was nerve-wracking…
I was so nervous asking where my class is!
-It started six months ago.
-SIX MONTHS AGO
The first day of school.
I had caught a cold
and spent a week in bed.
I didn't attend the first week of class.
-It was hard to go, even after recovering.
-HE DID COME TO THE GATE
I'll go tomorrow.
I'll go tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll go to school…
is what I told myself.
-And now look at the season!
-THUNK
Early winter.
But over summer break, I changed!
-I started working out.
-500 more! You can do it!
I dyed my hair too,
to keep the bullies away.
I don't look like a dropout at all!
I'm just…
Just a normal high schooler!
Alright. Here I go!
I can't. I'm so nervous!
-He's looking in our class!
-Scary!
No. It's fine.
Today's the day I…
THUD
OUCH
He kicked the door…
Who could that be?
What's his deal?
-VERY, VERY NERVOUS.
-He's angry!
LEER
TADANO'S PERSPECTIVE
Oh no.
I forgot to ask where my desk is.
I don't want to wait up front.
I'll go to the back.
I'll wait for the teacher here.
Everyone's looking at me.
-Oh! I should smile!
-LEER
-TADANO FIGURED HIM OUT.
-So that's what he's thinking!
What's his deal?
Someone talk to him!
-Hey-ho!
-Huh?
Oh! Katai?
-Long time no see!
-Our savior!
-Najimi knows everyone.
-When did I see you last?
Anyway, besides that.
You've really cha-- Gurk!
I can't have everyone
knowing about my past.
I have to explain to Najimi.
Najimi!
QUIETLY
Oh. Gotta smile!
N-Najimi!
Najimi went to the restroom.
-I wonder if someone will talk to me?
-FIDGET
Huh?
SWARM
Everyone's gathered in one spot.
I guess she's a popular student.
We must protect Komi at all costs!
Save her…
Divine intervention…
I've got to change.
I'll go talk to them!
Yikes! He's coming!
-She's done for.
-Someone save her!
We'll protect Komi!
You guys are…
-The class delinquents!
-Huh?
BUMP
-Day… desk?
-(GOOD) DAY (WHERE'S MY) DESK?
Die? Death?
I got phlegm in my throat.
Did they understand?
They did not.
-Useless!
-They're not real delinquents!
Oh good. They seem alright.
Now, who were they standing around?
I…
I'm scared!
-TREMBLE
-WHY?
W-What is this pressure I'm feeling?
She's looking! At me!
Why is she staring so much?
I'm scared!
My knees are weak.
He sat down!
Deep breaths, deep breaths!
EXHALE
-She's still staring!
-TOO SCARED TO MOVE
Everyone usually looks away
when I meet their gaze.
But this might be the first time
someone looked me in the eyes.
Oh, right!
Even Monkeys Can Talk chapter 4, page 116!
"Get your feelings across
by looking people in the eyes!"
That's why this person
is looking me in the eyes!
It means she wants to communicate, right?
Okay! I can do it too!
-They're glaring at each other.
-It's a stare-down!
SCARED
SCARED
TREMBLE
Uh.
Um, you're Katai. Aren't you?
Huh?
Aaah! No!
My voice changed and now it's super low.
If I don't make it higher,
I sound like I'm really mad!
Now he thinks I'm a jerk.
You were out of school
for a long time, right?
If you want, I can show you around!
Huh?
I'd… like that.
This is the music room.
W-Wow.
-This is the power of eye contact.
-STARE
-Here is the library.
-LIBRARY
Walking through the school,
just the two of us.
We're like real friends!
-GRIN
-SQUEAL
Are you listening?
Oh yeah!
She was staring in order to tell me.
The Master of Communication.
She's Commu, the Master of Communication!
Go get 'em!
Commu?
COMMU
-Bang!
-COMMUNICATION SKILLS
MISSION 46
"IT'S JUST STUDYING AT NAKANAKA'S."
That's all everyone. See you tomorrow.
Let's go out for ramen.
Sounds good!
-It's winter!
-A SNOWMAN POSE
Maybe I just won't ask.
I thought you hated winter.
I can't stand the cold.
But there are lots of fun winter events.
Christmas, gift money, skiing,
cozy rooms, the Ekiden race! And…
Term finals!
-Tests. You're always the same.
-TERM FINALS
Standing between me and my fun.
How dare you!
Oh yeah! We can study at Nakanaka's house!
They just want to play games.
NAKANAKA RESIDENCE
Anyway… You are welcome at my castle.
But what's up with her?
Who's she talking about?
We don't know, do we Komi?
It's you! You!
Why? We're friends aren't we, Nakanaka?
Forgetting me and inviting Komi?
Unacceptable!
I don't remember being friends with you.
You're just jealous that Komi came over.
You harlot!
RUMBLE
These two are not very compatible.
Thanks for having me!
Good night!
Asleep!
What was the point of this visit?
So, Komi.
Sit next to me.
There's a physics formula
I don't understand..
N-No! You should sit here.
That cushion is of poor quality!
This is how Yamai and Nakanaka
sparked off their battle for Komi's heart.
WILD GIRLS
BEAST EARS, THE MOVIE
I know, Komi! Want to play a game?
Last time was hard, right?
I've gathered some games
with easier controls.
Nakanaka's attack:
"For Komi's Benefit."
I thought we came to study…
Of course she doesn't want to play.
-That's such a boyish activity.
-HEH
-What?
-But it was blocked!
Girls like romance!
Komi, who's your crush?
Mine is you.
"Practically a Confession!"
YAMAI'S ATTACK: PRACTICALLY A CONFESSION!
It's not very effective…
Um, what about studying?
That reminds me…
I noticed when I entered this room.
The whole interior is black and you have
so many anime and movie posters.
It's like an otaku boy's room.
Urgh!
It's super effective!
Alright then.
What do you consider a girly room?
That's easy.
You need a big mirror.
Make-up, perfume, pink items,
antique-style furniture.
And serve jasmine tea, not barley…
How basic.
It's super effective!
Your nails are filthy!
I'm not interested in your opinion.
You're the one with damaged hair!
Since you change the color often.
You live at home,
so I bet you can't even cook!
So unfeminine.
-Femininity!
-GIRLS ARE SCARY.
Don't judge me on something
you can't even quantify!
According to our star charts,
I'm a better match for Komi!
There you go being basic again!
There's no evidence!
Why do you talk like that?
You do it because
you're an internet addict, right?
You're as good at
finding information as my mom!
-How old did you say you were?
-Komi is…
-Let's calm down…
-Huh?!
Oh, nothing.
Komi, which of us is a better friend?
And now the spears point at Komi.
YOU'RE BOTH IMPORTANT TO ME.
-SECRETLY HAPPY
-FIDGETY
Y-Yeah, but!
If you had to choose, who would it be?
Why not see who gets a higher test score?
Shut up.
They're in perfect sync.
We can't keep asking Komi.
She'll hate me if I'm aggressive.
Have you ever not been aggressive?
Isn't there something?
Some way to settle this?
Games.
We have video games!
Yeah.
Let's do it!
-Games!
-Me too!
Hang on! Don't put a banana there!
-I'll let my strategy speak for itself!
-Yes, that's it!
Scoundrel! You're aiming
that red carapace at me!
Must be your imagination!
Take that!
The R button on the right…
Take that! And that!
Boom!
Finish!
Yay! I win!
That means Komi's best friend is me!
BANG
Najimi, why do you have to be like that?
They competed on their tests too.
A draw?!
You've all cleared your desks, right?
You've got your writing tools?
If you drop anything
I'll get it, so let me know.
Now, start!
WOBBLE
POP
Komi only prepared two pencils.
HAS TO SAY SHE DROPPED HER PENCIL…
Komi is too shy about standing out
so she can't say it.
Huh? Komi's…
not writing…?
PLOP
Oh, I get it.
Around there.
Teacher? I dropped my mechanical pencil.
-Huh?
-Uh, sorry.
Could you get it for me?
Sure.
Hm? Is this yours, Komi?
You're the only one in this class
who uses a pencil, after all. Here.
All set.
-Here.
-Oh, thank you.
JAPANESE HISTORY TERM FINAL
CLASS 1-1, HITOHITO TADANO
Komi's so clumsy.
Huh?
Wait, what?
CLUMSY
I forgot to get my eraser out!
I CAN'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES!
Excuse me!
I dropped my eraser.
Again?
I'm sorry.
Here.
Thank you very much.
Is this alright?
Neither of them could focus on the test.
BONUS SCENE
Huh?
Hey, lend me your eraser.
Huh?
No.
Huh? Why?
The eraser became a family heirloom.
