TadaKomi

TadaKomi is the het ship between Shouko Komi and Hitohito Tadano from the Komi Can't Communicate fandom.

Anime
Hitohito meets Shouko on the first day of high school, and he is immediately captured by her beauty. He tries to talk to her but she runs away from embarrassment. Hitohito enters the classroom and discovers that he sits next to Shouko, and he receives glares from his jealous classmates in return. He looks at Shouko and thinks everything she does is perfect. After the lessons, during lunch, both remain alone in the classroom. Hitohito again tries to talk to her, but this time, she doesn't run away. She uses the blackboard to communicate with him, since she can't talk due to her social anxiety. She explains her situation and how she feels. She expresses the desire to make 100 friends. He listens to her and he promises to help her to achieve her goal and announces he will be her first friend.

After that day, Hitohito decides to ask people to be Shouko’s friends thinking it should be easy since everyone loves Shouko. It doesn't end up going too well as most of his classmates are jealous of him sitting next to Shouko and won't even let him talk. Hitohito now has no choice but to talk to his childhood friend, Najimi. Suprisingly, Najimi refuses to be her friend which leaves both Hitohito shocked and Shouko sad. Hitohito learns why Najimi refused and tells her to walk home with Shouko and she'll understand. It works and Najimi becomes friends with Shouko. Even though Shouko and Najimi are now friends, Hitohito still has to translate to Najimi what Shouko is trying to say.

Najimi asks Shouko to go get her a really complicated drink or else she won't be friends with her anymore, and she actually does it. Hitohito asks Najimi why she would do that and Najimi replies saying it's to help Shouko with speaking. Shouko manages to get a drink, but not the drink Najimi wanted. When Shouko gets back she starts crying. Both Najimi and Hitohito apologize even though the blame was on Najimi.

Manga
When Shouko was shopping with her father she comes across Hitohito in the mall. She forces her father to leave the area so she wouldn't be noticed by him. They ended up meeting later on while talking and picking new outfits for Shouko’s father. When Hitohito was eavesdropping on a conversation between classmates of his, fantasizing about the girls in the class he conjures up a scenario between him and Shouko. He's quickly taken back to reality when more loving moments come up and bangs his head against his desk.

When winter comes around the corner Komi arrives at school and puts away her things but Najimi surprises her from behind, they put their arms on her neck to make them warm then runs off. When Tadano arrives seconds later Komi does the same to him but pulls her hands away before he realizes it was her. She flushes red for the next few seconds. When Katai asks Komi and Tadano to sit with him for lunch and fails, Tadano and his kind nature sit with him anyway and Komi follows him and watches from a corner, concerned for Tadano. After Tadano figures out why Katai has such an intimidating demeanor he calls Komi out from her secret-not-so-secret-hiding-spot if she wanted to join them. She blushes but joins them anyway.

When Manbagi confesses to Tadano on Valentines Day and he accepts, Tadano thinks about Komi. Manbagi then asks if he would regret dating her and then questions him (once again) if he has a crush on anyone. Tadano says he isn't sure, he thinks he might have a crush on Komi but Komi is popular and Tadano doesn't think she'd like him back. Manbagi then asks Tadano again if he'd regret dating her, and Tadano finally then says that he probably has a crush on the person he was talking about (Komi). Manbagi then tells Tadano he should go to Komi (most likely telling him to confess to her). Tadano runs to Komi's house and awkwardly asks if she maybe has any chocolate for him since she gave some to everyone, Tadano then sees Komi next to him and figures out it was Komi's mom he was talking to. Komi gives Tadano some chocolate and apologizes for not giving it to him earlier. Tadano takes the chocolate then finally confesses to Komi, realizing how much he likes her. Komi is really flustered and Tadano, super embarrassed, says he should probably go now

Fanon
TadaKomi is the most popular ship within its fandom. With Hitohito’s incredible abilities to understand and support others, and with Shouko’s infinte kindness and beauty, they have won the heart of the fandom. The ship is rivaled by ships such as RumiKomi, TadaJimi and OsaKomi, but TadaKomi overshadows all of these ships. Though this has inspired the creation of the polyships like TadaOsaKomi. As Tadano and Komi are both the main characters and are dating, many fans ship TadaKomi, causing an influx of fan content. The popularity of TadaKomi has caused some people to ship their siblings, Hitomi and Shosuke, creating the Hitosuke ship.

The fandom really love how their relationship is very holesome and easygoing, as they both have really cute moments and they aren’t toxic with each other. Some fans also love how Hitohito completely understood Shouko’s feelings and problems due her communication disorder, as he was the first one to notice this and became her first friend, and how Shouko even if she’s really shy and has problems talking, she’s been very protective towards Hitohito, as she rejected Yamai’s offer of being her friend and left her, since she kidnapped Hitohito, later when Yamai apologizes to both Hitohito and Shouko, which he smiles to Shouko to tell him it’s okay.
