GJ-bu@ is a comfort special that doesn't pretend to be anything larger than it is, just five people who genuinely like each other, now in New York, still doing the exact same dumb club stuff they always do. The show knows its entire appeal is watching these characters breathe together in a new city without any plot machinery grinding beneath the surface. You watch this because the GJ Club members feel like friends you've already spent time with, and sometimes that's the only reason you need.

Spring break has arrived right after Mao and the other girls graduate, and cherry blossoms signal that a new school term is close. Then Kyouya is abruptly shoved into a bag. When he is freed, he is back in what looks exactly like the GJ Club room, alongside the club members who grabbed him. Only a look out the window reveals that they are now in New York. This single comedy special continues GJ Club, with Mao's big attitude, Megumi's shifting moods, Shion's genius without common sense, and Kirara's endless hunger. It serves up one more round of the club's slice-of-life antics for the graduation trip.
