^ It's impossible to understand and appreciate what comes before ch. 69 if someone doesn't read the earlier chapters. The formative subplot involving Imae Megumi has a lot of primary development in those earlier chapters, as one serious example. Also, a lot of the characters who become really important later on are introduced throughout the first part, first as background noise for Tomoko's inner socially anxious hell, then as real characters who actually developed from the start. There's no way to know what the school trip means if you don't know what she went through.
Do NOT skip the first part of the series. Just don't. In other words, don't.
