Continuing to read this genuinely feels like I have fucking face blindness. It FEELS like there's story arcs progressing, and it FEELS like they're supposedly good, but I can't fucking tell because I still can barely recognise three characters total. Genuine question to the folks that can keep up - is it good?
It's good? Light drama, not much idiocy, anyone with much screentime is implied queer. Gaydar says we're surrounded.
Weirdly I'm not hit with face-blindness the past couple volumes. You might end up focusing on hairstyles and personalities like it's a one-person show with wigs and posture changes. Or a stageplay where actors play multiple parts. Maybe this isn't a great example; I'm slightly face-blind IRL so learning this could be different for me than new readers / yuri community theatre attendees. The key is when auto-recognition mode isn't working well enough you mentally tag folks/characters manually.
It is weird since I know I
had problems telling characters apart but now I latch onto the distinct parts like cat-mouth or asymmetric bangs or shoulder-length hair or sharp eyes instead of that they're all variations on the author's habitual style (which is probably closest to the MCs for a serious vs cute vibe).
Fresh example: The new lazy skiver on the student council (hopefully not a love interest) so far is just a sluggish Nanase with a hard to notice sidebraid making up her tinge scruffier hair. But [lazy sidebraid girl, curious, ¿jealous?] isn't hard to remember and now I'll check for the bump of sidebraid.
