Any else really confused by the way they're introducing new characters? I get what the author is trying to do but I keep wondering if I'm supposed to know who the new characters are or if they just look different since they're older.

The person with the bandages and a hairband is a new college character. I thought it was a guy when they were introduced in chapter 144, but I am not so sure now. I bet the original Japanese is more explicit about their gender

I really just dunno what we're doing nowadays in this manga man. I enjoyed it for quite some time but I feel like we're better off just ending it and letting the mangaka move onto greener (heh) pastures because the entire feel of the manga has completely shifted since the timeskip and I don't really get what we're going for here because the plot thread, as little as there is of it, is so loose and disconnected.

Black hair guy is Narita, the other person (Shu-chan) was introduced during the chapter with drunk Aya.

Besides the "-chan" suffix which would hint at Shu being a girl (but it can be just an endearing way of address), there's absolutely no indication in the language about the gender. Japanese is actually very egregious about that, because characters can talk about someone for a long time without ever revealing the gender or keeping it ambiguous and it's a pain to translate. Especially with gender benders.
