As a humanoid, Komi has the intelligence of a human being in every way except one - she can't communicate effectively. Despite her popularity and striking appearance, she struggles to make friends and to express herself in simple conversations. In this episode of Komi Can't Communicate, titled "It's Just Valentine's Day", Komi has been eagerly looking forward to the Valentine's Day holiday but finds herself at a loss on how to navigate the social side of the day.
As Komi's class starts to celebrate Valentine's Day, she realizes that she doesn't understand the holiday's customs and fears being left out. In typical Komi fashion, she panics and is unable to process the holiday's customs, especially the tradition of giving chocolates to people. Friends and classmates try to communicate with her, but despite their best efforts, Komi can't seem to grasp the holiday's meaning.
Meanwhile, Komi's best friend, Tadano, is also struggling with Valentine's Day. He has been receiving many chocolates from different girls and is uncertain how to respond to them without hurting their feelings. He is worried about Komi during the holiday since he knows how much she loves Valentine's Day and how much it means to her.
As the day progresses, Komi sets out on a mission to give chocolates to her friends in hopes of fitting in. She is helped by Tadano, who offers to assist her in buying chocolates for her classmates. Throughout the process, Komi learns about the different types of chocolates that exist and the significance of each one. She quickly becomes overwhelmed by the process of selecting and giving chocolates to her classmates.
As the day continues, Komi finds herself struggling to communicate her thoughts and feelings to her crush, Yamai. She cannot summon the courage to express her feelings verbally and instead resorts to a complex series of hand signals and reactions that are difficult for Yamai to understand. This confusion ultimately leads to a misunderstanding that Komi later feels guilty about.
As the day draws to a close, Komi slowly begins to understand the meaning of Valentine's Day despite her communication difficulties. She realizes that it's not just about receiving chocolates but also about showing appreciation to those we love and care about. She also recognizes the immense value of fitting in and doing something similar to her classmates.
Overall, "It's Just Valentine's Day" is a beautiful episode of Komi Can't Communicate that touches on the themes of communication, friendship, and love.
