Komi begins her second high-school year worried that the best part has already passed. A distressed new classmate gives that worry a practical answer in VIZ's synopsis. The appeal here is a change in Komi's position: experience gained through receiving friendship can now help her approach someone else. Follow this after the first-year material to see the same social difficulty from the side of a prospective helper.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

A crying classmate is a better measure of progress than an effortless conversation. VIZ describes Komi recognizing a chance to use her experience and reach out, despite her own melancholy about the new year. That reverses the original helper-and-recipient arrangement without pretending she no longer needs support. The claim worth making is modest: acquired experience can become useful before anxiety disappears. This is why the new year matters beyond replacing the class list. Komi has something to offer another lonely person, and the story can test that ability instead of endlessly staging her first introduction again.
