One interesting thing about reading the early chapters is how some characters that seem at first to be simple background cut-outs actually turn out to be serious characters later, and their action in the background in early chapters about Tomoko's isolation has a lot to do with what happens when Tomoko gets to know them. The stuff that happens later with her friends and her didn't come out of some black box; the author had been planning things the whole time, including the period when Tomoko seemed to be the only inhabitant of her little hell-world.
