The MC is crying every 2nd time he is on screen. Bakugo is the worst though, his personality makes no sense. He's mad 100% of the time, just look at his face how stupid he looks, even when he isn't hating on the MC. Frog girl and the class rep are decent though.

the MC isn't overpowered and can and does fail to achieve what he wants, so you never know what happens next. And I don't mind if he has to restart, imo the show has done all of the restarts pretty nicely so far, without showing much repeating stuff and each restart we learned something different (if paying attention, at least).

, I read she'll appear again but I dunno if in the next arc or later.

Of course it felt forced. The entire premise is a social and psychological experiment on adolescent kids at a time when hormones are high, emotions and who you like are the center of the universe, and also they grew up in a city full of freakish mascots. Aside from Chidori's feelings for Mr. Stoic, everything else came about because of the forced closeness and sharing as a result of the experiment. It's accelerated bond forming, forced relationships, and also group therapy from hell. Chidori was probably never going to have any rival in the normal course of events, but now they've all been forced together and Nori-chan comes back from Kachon's distant childhood (which is probably when he got lobotomized during the original experiment). Add copious amounts of "shaky bridge" and people looking for someone that is looking elsewhere (as well as at least two people with extreme antisocial issues). The surprise isn't that it falls apart the way it has; what's more surprising is that the researchers are so clueless in general that they wouldn't have seen it coming long before they did it.
Then again, I'm cynical in general about human social interactions and the foundation of minor lies that makes it so we aren't all stabbing everyone else all day so I might have a skewed perspective.
