In the name of a school field trip, a group of kids visits the Yorozuya and various other workplaces. Everywhere they go, the precocious brats mercilessly look down on the adults and shred their pride. Unable to take it, Gintoki, the old man Hasegawa and the rest throw themselves into a revenge fueled by grown-up stubbornness and gloriously pointless seriousness, and the results are hilarious. The volume is a treasure trove of everyday chapters: Hasegawa's world-weary sorrow, the tragicomedy of a professional punching bag, and Hedoro's bathhouse chaos. It even includes Hideaki Sorachi's heartfelt one-shot The Bankara Girl Passes By, blending laughter and melancholy.

Synopsis
Product-style summary (English)
Gin Tama Vol. 38 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
The adults' revenge on the dismissive kids only spirals the harder they try to save face, and it closes by paradoxically proving that being childish is exactly what makes Gintama's grown-ups so endearing. The Hasegawa chapter shows him as down-and-out as ever, yet a stubborn, breezy resilience that refuses to break at rock bottom shines through, reaffirming him as one of the series' finest supporting acts. Hedoro's bathhouse uproar commits fully to gags, while the one-shot The Bankara Girl Passes By flexes Sorachi's authorial voice on a separate track. No major event occurs, but as a palate cleanser it distills the cast's humanity.
