Najimi responds to Komi's slow friendship count by organizing a social meeting. VIZ's setup gives the mentor role a comic problem: the people brought together all have difficulty communicating. This continues the school comedy while putting the method of acquiring friends under scrutiny. It is most relevant to readers interested in the original friendship target, because the proposed remedy treats social contact as something that can be arranged on another person's behalf.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Najimi can assemble a group, but assembly is not connection. VIZ describes a friendly blind date whose participants all have communication difficulties, a premise that questions the efficiency of the intervention before anyone says a word. The weak point is the assumption that a disappointing count requires a more organized push. That makes this a useful comic objection to the series' own numerical target. It is not the reason to buy the run for decisive romantic movement. Its interest is smaller and sharper: the helpful organizer may be solving a scheduling problem when the real obstacle survives the invitation.
