There is no way you write something like this from memory. They for sure have a list and order for every person. Even if they have a perfect memory Im sure their assistants would appreciate, or have contributed, to an organized reference of the characters for their various tasks.Either the author was writing down each character and the order of friendship in a sheet of paper while drawing the manga, or he has an incredible memory
Kishi appeared real early on as a background character, but her name and characterisation were only first shown way later than thatWait, Kishi is number 8?
Nvm found her on page 11 with Hiki, but they don't have their names and numbers. Isn't komi friends with them?Inaka (country girl) where?
