Coolkyoushinja’s slice-of-life comedy manga, Komori-san Can’t Decline!, is set to conclude in March after a successful 13-year serialization. The series, which began in April 2012, will publish its final chapter in the May issue of Houbunsha’s Manga Time Original magazine, marking the end of an era for fans of the heartwarming story.
A Gentle Soul’s Journey: Komori-san Can’t Decline!
Komori-san Can’t Decline! (Japanese: Komori-san wa Kotowarenai!) centers around Shuri Komori, a middle school girl with an incredibly kind nature. So kind, in fact, that she finds it impossible to refuse any request, leading to a variety of humorous and heartwarming situations as she develops surprising abilities while helping others. Crunchyroll, which streams the anime adaptation, describes Shuri’s life as filled with “fun & happy things” as she navigates adolescence.
Anime Adaptation and Popularity
The manga’s popularity led to a 12-episode anime adaptation that aired in Fall 2015, further expanding its fanbase. The anime, produced by Artland, was simulcast by Crunchyroll, bringing Shuri Komori’s charming story to an international audience.
