Nana sends Komatsu home for a Trapnest concert in the fifth standard paperback. She brings Osaki along with hopes tied to Ren, giving the trip a purpose beyond watching a favorite band. Readers continuing the original singles should select this standard edition. Anniversary editions belong to an omnibus line, so the number by itself does not identify the same point in the story. Here, a fan outing carries expectations that the performers have not agreed to meet.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Komatsu imagines Ren noticing Osaki in the audience, but Osaki is not even certain that she wants him back. That imbalance makes matchmaking the sharper subject than a possible reunion. The person arranging a meeting can be more committed to its happy outcome than either person expected to participate. Music fandom adds another uncertainty: admiration from the audience does not prepare Komatsu for the band entering her personal life. The standard paperback keeps this purchase in the original sequence; the Anniversary format adds larger pages and gatefold flaps, not a promise that equal spine numbers cover equal events.
