Does the girl have communication disorder tho? that aside, it seems that this does have the same idea, but the mangaka made his own twist to it. So no, it is not a copy

its not like the 100 friends thing isn't a thing that wasn't already done before and is even a proverb...
Unculture 4y
Making friends is a very original premise

I recall there is another manga that I read a while back that also has a similar premise to both of manga you mention. I can’t remember the name of it though at the moment.

Anyway it’s not unheard for different stories to share similar premises. It happens, and in some cases likely intentionally (just look at the recent Isekai stories that have been release in the past couple of years). With the case of Akebi-Chan’s Sailer Uniform I get the feeling this might had been more of a case of coincidence as checking the release dates to both this manga and Komi Can’t Communicate they both began publication in 2016 being around four months apart (the later started in May while the former began in August).

This actually reminds of the case with “We Never Learn” by Taishi Tsutsui and “The Quintessential Quintuplets” by Negi Haruba which are both romantic comedy manga that share a similar premise of a protagonist who excels academically being charge with tutoring these students with the award of going to a good university if he succeeds in helping them get good grades, but in the process the students become the love interest of the protagonist. Both manga were publish in the same (2017) being couple of months apart from each other with the former starting in February while the latter started in August.

  four months apart
  
  more like two months and a half to be more precise, just to strengthen your point
  Akobundu 4y
  Oh thank for that, TripelK. ^_^ I tend to get these mix up which was why I mention the months they were published.
  TripelK 4y
  oh it's nothing, I had just checked the dates after reading this thread

  Let's not forget that Hitoribocchi had the same one hundred friends premise and began releasing back in 2013.

Because Komi-san is not the only anime with that premise, maybe? There is another anime about girls who try to get friends or be popular, like Kimi ni Todoke or Watamote.

I don't know all the details, but long story short: The concept of "making 100 friends" comes from an old Japanese nursery rhyme called Ichinensei Ni Nattara. Komi is not the first to use it as a plot device, and it won't be the last, it just happens to be the most popular.

B-Gata H-Kei, which was released a decade before Komi-san, had a female protagonist who wanted to have sexual relations with 100 guys so it's not like the general premise of doing something with 100 people is anything new
YuukiKun 4y
The 100 friends thing might be same, but that's all I think.
ThalVatti 4y
Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu also has that premise and I didn't see anyone complaining about Komi-san when that came out (after the Hitoribocchi manga)
Zynurosa 4y
What is this thread?
Inferno0052 4y
seems more like K-ON, or Nichijou then komi,
Kaormun 4y
Shiki from Edens Zero wants to make 100 friends aswell o-o
ISAZZI 4y
Didn't know animes couldn't have similar concepts

Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu
this manga was one of the best that started 100 friends premise so would you say komi stole this idea.
And this is just the start of this anime do you not get anxious on your first day?.
akebi san will proceed towards being an idol anime most probably than being a friend making speedrun
adrnil21 4y
the premise is dumb AF too, why the hell would you want to make 100 friends?? Just get 2-3 good ones
- crse 4y
  What if you can make 100 good friends instead?
  adrnil21 4y
  good luck spending time with them all
  crse 4y
  Well, an actual good friends doesn't mean they will spend time all the time. But rather like a big close family.
  
  I have a lot of them like that. Even when we haven't seen each other in years, once we meet it feels like nothing is changed. Even we know what's happened with each other without direct contact.
  Charllak 4y
  nah, I'd rather take 3-4 friends for life than 100 good friends
- NepNep 4y
  i agree
  
  would rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies
  
  I think that's how the saying goes

Watch more anime
arkhelious 4y
komi-san is a rip off of child me because i wanted 2 make a hundred friends when i was a kid

does wanting to make friends make you a komi-san copy?

go take a bath lmao
Voluk 4y
wtf are you talking about? "It has people in it, must be a copy"
KinoLin 4y
"friendships equals komi-san copy" lol ok
HenwithTie 4y
iirc there's a thing in japanese culture about making 100 [insert_something_here]
that's like calling every isekai a copy of X isekai

On top of what others have pointed out, the source of this anime started releasing about 3 months after Komi Can't Communicate. Though the Komi One-Shot was released about a year beforehand, it's not exactly a "copied" idea. I don't think an author could see an idea, develop it, get approval for publishing and release an entire volume in that time, and to argue the author copied the idea purely from the one-shot would be frankly ridiculous.

Maybe both of them actually copied Hitoribocchi, which started releasing in 2013. In that manga there is a girl with social anxiety that has trouble talking to people, and has to make a lot of friends.
