Will it ever gets an anime adaptation?
Rumors are spreading 2 years ago that Komi-san will probably gets an adaptation in the near future but until now we got nothing. There are few reasons why Komi-san can't get anime adaptation until now despite of its popularity.
I don't see it working as an anime. Although there are similar manga that gets anime adaptation like Senryuu Shoujo and Karakai Juzo no Takagi San. I don't see Komi-san works like them. It has a unique art style that will become problematic if it will get adapted. If the animation studio is not good especially at expressing the feeling and emotions of the character, it might turn out like an average looking anime.
Voice Casting will be hard. Even though the main character aren't communicating that much, it is still hard for voice actors especially for the character of Najima Osana. She/He is a character with an ambiguous gender so it is still a mystery whether its voice will be either more feminine or masculine.
Merchandising Problem. Komi-san manga might be popular in Japan, but it is still unknown to some countries. So producing its anime might be a big gamble. But who knows maybe foreign Komi-san fans just stays quiet and are waiting for its adaptation to release.
For me I really love Komi-san manga. I don't want to expect for it's anime adaptation because it might just hurt me at the end but lets just hope so. We will never know the future let's just enjoy the manga for what it is right now, its better this way anyway. So I don't really mind if Komi-san will get adaptation or not.
