This is a pre-order — it is not in stock yet. It ships on or shortly after the release date above, not within our normal handling time. Any FOC date in the title is our distributor order cutoff, not the release date.
PRE-ORDER: We do not cancel pre-order items after purchase. This item has not been released yet (expected release: May 11, 2027). Buying it now reserves yours with our distributor before release, and it ships once it is released and reaches our store. Because it is reserved just for you, it cannot be cancelled after purchase.
PRE ORDER FOC DATE April 12, 2027 / ON SALE DATE May 11, 2027
A shy Japanese girl and an American boy who only speaks English struggle to bridge their differences in communication and open up to one another!Mutsumi, a high school girl who's retreated to a non-verbal state, is still unable to communicate with her new desk neighbor James, who can't parse Japanese yet anyway. But it seems like their hearts may be growing closer in spite of it all. That's when Luca, a brash boy who's lived abroad and has approximately zero filter, steps onto the scene. Finally James has someone he can speak English with, as well as someone who can relay what he's saying to Mutsumi. Despite Luca's prickly personality, this may be the catalyst needed for everything to change.
PRE-ORDER ALLOCATION NOTICE: This is a pre-order and is subject to allocation. Allocation means the publisher or distributor may ship retailers fewer copies than were ordered when demand is higher than supply or the print run. Allocation is an industry-standard practice across comics and collectibles distribution and is outside of our control. If our allocation comes in short and we cannot fill your order, you will be notified and refunded in full to your original payment method.
