Komi and Tadano's relationship reaches the family-introduction stage, where his relatives have the wrong idea. VIZ describes his mother and sister as supportive but mistaken about whom he is dating. This is a clear change in the romantic premise: the challenge now concerns being recognized as a couple, rather than merely hoping to become one. Follow the earlier relationship material before arriving at a meeting built on that established change.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
A supportive family can still misunderstand the most basic fact of a relationship. Tadano's mother and sister expect someone else, according to VIZ, so introducing Komi requires a correction as well as a greeting. The value of this setup is that romantic success creates more communication work rather than completing it. Komi is now meeting people through the role of girlfriend, a status with its own expectations. That change supplies a stronger reason for the volume than the mere embarrassment of an introduction. Becoming a couple alters who needs to understand them; it does not make understanding automatic.
