Komi Can’t Communicate, chapter 488 recap

Komi Can’t Communicate Chapter 488 is titled ‘Hard Worker,’ and begins with a definition of “hikikomori,” reflecting on how social withdrawal affects individuals like Hiki Komorebi, who is trying her best to adapt to city life despite her social anxiety.

Hiki struggles to greet people confidently, even failing to respond to some kindergarteners who greet her first. When she arrives at school, she awkwardly greets her friend Shujo Susumi and their classmates.

Throughout the day, Hiki notices Susumi seems distant, spending more time with other classmates, which makes Hiki feel insecure about their friendship. This leads her to question if she did something wrong in Komi Can’t Communicate Chapter 488.

Hiki contemplates several options: distancing herself, apologizing, or withdrawing completely. Instead, she chooses a playful approach by making a silly pun, which she immediately regrets. To her surprise, Susumi responds with a bad joke of her own, lightening the mood.

After school, Hiki opens up about her insecurities, admitting she deeply values Susumi as her only friend. Susumi reassures her, even jokingly interpreting Hiki’s words as a love confession. Although Susumi is initially thrilled at the thought of dating, Hiki is confused when Susumi asks for a kiss, leading to an awkward yet humorous misunderstanding in Komi Can’t Communicate Chapter 488.
