An overseas class trip starts with a much less glamorous challenge for Komi: submitting passport paperwork. VIZ places that errand at the front of the coming travel story, making preparation part of the social test. Read this before the classmates reach New York in the following volume. The destination may promise a large change of setting, but the opening concern is getting through an ordinary encounter at an official counter.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Passport administration refuses the usual hierarchy of adventure. For Komi, handing over paperwork can demand courage before the trip even starts. VIZ explicitly frames the office visit as the beginning of the challenge, while its next-volume description places the class in New York. This makes a practical reading boundary: preparation belongs before the overseas material, not after it as optional housekeeping. The premise is strongest when it does not inflate the errand into a heroic conquest. Institutional contact can be difficult without becoming extraordinary, and travel cannot simply transport Komi out of the difficulty that organizes her everyday life.
