I was reading the manga _Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu_ , and I've noticed that
Komi Shouko grows ears a lot:

She is a human and I know that the manga is a "slice of life" manga and not a
"fantasy" manga. I could only guess that it has to do with her being happy,
but that is my only idea.

Why does Komi grow cat ears?

Why does Komi grow cat ears?


You are correct in that Komi grows cat ears to show when she is happy, but she
also grows them when interested or paying attention to something.

The reason why is due to Komi's facial muscles freezing up from social
anxiety. If she can't express her emotions by smiling or using body language,
the audience would not be able to see Komi's reactions. They probably chose
cat ears instead of another animal because Komi is fond of cats.
