Nothing motivates a girl like competition! Komi's communication issue is the final boss of this manga. (Hence the title) If she overcomes it, to the point of being able to confess her love to Tadano, the crisis of the manga is resolved and it's epilogue time. Manga over. So I know it has to happen and I can't wait to be proud of her and Tadano too. But at the same time, I will be sad it's over. A good run though certainly, and not over yet. We should really savor this while we can.
Chapter 194 is the best chapter in a long time since It wasn't there making a nuisance of itself. I also could certainly board the Tadano-Manbagi ship since she seems to be a lot more interested and sincere about Tadono than Komi is, who has done diddly-squat to advance her relationship with Tadano in almost 200 chapters. There's no reason that, using her persuasive charm, Komi couldn't have been relieved of stall duty so she could accompany Tadano to the fireworks. Apparently it wasn't important enough for her to do so so she has no right to get upset that Tadano is enjoying Manbagi's company, especially since she's made no effort to become his girlfriend.
