In Komi Can't Communicate Chapter 460, titled Make-Shousuke-Laugh Attack, the chapter begins with a nostalgic look back at the childhood of the Komi siblings.
When Komi Shoko was five and Shosuke was four, Shosuke was shown to be a happy and outgoing child, always smiling, like his mother. On the contrary, Shoko's attitude was similar to their father's.
As they grew older, Shosuke's cheerful attitude faded and by the age of 13, he became stoic and reserved.
In the present day at Kisai High School, second-year student Tadano Hitomi begins his mission to make Shosuke laugh despite the objections of those who believe that his serious expression contributes to his cool image.
Hitomi convinces them by appealing to their curiosity about Shosuke's smile, gaining their enthusiastic support.
Throughout the school day, the group tries various tactics to make Shosuke laugh but fails. Unfazed, Hitomi organizes a play with her classmates called Convenience Store, much to the amusement of everyone except Shosuke.
Determined, Hitomi tries to impersonate their teacher, but Shosuke remains adamant, even though he listens attentively.
On the way home, Shosuke recalls the day's events and almost smiles, but it disappears when he meets his old elementary school friend, Mizuhara Hayato. Hayato's attempts to reconnect are ignored and Shosuke leaves.
Hitomi suddenly appears and asks Hayato if he is Shosuke's friend, to which Hayato answers vaguely. Hitomi wonders if Shosuke's stoic personality is due to him not wiping his ears, confusing Hayato, who always considered her odd.
Hayato reveals that he wants to reconnect with Shosuke and feels responsible for Shosuke losing his smile.
The chapter ends with Hitomi inviting Hayato to Shosuke's house, while the narrator humorously notes that Shosuke washes his ears every day.
This chapter combines humor and introspection, providing insight into Shosuke's past and personality, while also setting up potential developments in his relationship with Hayato and the rest of the cast.
