I maybe overreacting but harem cliche is the worst thing that happened to character development in manga. Like you can actually see characters being Flanderized in real time.
Question! Chapter 33 is Kurokawa's incorrect perception of Fujishiro, right? Wasn't the whole eyebrows thing a misunderstanding where Fujishiro saw the potential in Kurokawa and muttered the wrong thing at the wrong time? See eyebrow day: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/useless_princesses_ch04#7
Is the point of the chapter that Fujishiro is totally overestimated?
Nah she was just an arrogant jerk with no concern for the "unfabulous". She started to see her potential for makeover later on.
Hmmm. Here I thought this was a generic setting and author threw the biggest curveball in yuri manga. A useful lesbian! Pundit-chan was a good bonus too.
I don't know if I'm feeling like this because I might not be remembering this story very well, but I don't recall Kurokawa ever giving signs of being this obsessed about Fujishiro. This chapter felt like a retcon to me, with a Kurokawa that was quite out-of-character.
