this manga is so jumpy somehow. it often/always feels like the author skipped the parts that glue everything together. this makes it quite hard to follow everything.
This is more on the Editor than the Mangaka. Editor-kun is supposed to catch stuff like this during the storyboarding phase and go to to the Mangaka, saying, "Hey, you're doing alright, but why is this jumping around so much? It's kinda hard to follow."This could be "turn your brain off" fantasy reading if the author would smooth out the plot some.
