Over the last year, I’ve become a huge fan of the anime/manga Komi Can’t Communicate. And one of my favorite things about this wholesome comedy anime about people with different types of social anxieties and neuroses…is that every character in the series has a pun-ny name referencing their main personality quirk. Unfortunately, Japanese wordplay doesn’t translate well to English. So, here is every single one of those Japanese name puns, explained!

(Thanks!!)
I’m only covering the characters that have been introduced in the anime so far (as of the upload date of this video). So, no characters from Komi-san’s second year of high school or beyond. Maybe in the future I’ll make a sequel video covering the characters introduced later on.
This video is rather late compared to when most people were watching and talking about this show, haha. Full disclosure: I actually started doing the research for this back in Spring, but I didn't get a chance to actually put the video together until recently.
