Does anyone have an issue with how the show handles its numerous characters?

Komi's life goal is to make 100 friends, and that cannot be reached unless the show introduces new characters. I also understand how certain characters show up more such as Najimi since they are essentially the tritagonist. But Komi has interacted with Yamai at least a bunch of times even though she is just as much of a supporting character as the others.

Take Agari for example. She is the fourth person (I think) to have made friends with Komi, but she barely even shows up in season 2. And what about that pink-haired sporty girl or that other sporty one with the fiery hair. What has progressed in their relationship with Komi?

I think they give enough screen time to as much characters as possible I don't have a problem with it.

also it's only the second season you have to wait for progression. I'm sure when this is all over she will be able to communicate with everyone with no problem :)

Such melodramatic characters will fail to utilize the screen time.
and also,not every friend needs to be introduced,the list can keep expanding with minimum characters,theres no problem here.

It isn’t necessary to continuously give new character screen time and show their individual friendships development with Komi.

For instance, MHA S5 kept introducing characters from other classes; showing their quirks/abilities/personalities, I just got unbelievably bored of their screen time and dropped the show - I wanted the show to focus on characters who’ll actually stay relevant for the upcoming episodes.

Komi S2 isn’t even halfway through the manga (and chapters are continuing), so Komi’s friends will get screen time, but mostly those who’ll stay relevant.
Can’t deny though half of the entire cast are annoying characters with no personality whatsoever.

No the cast is already boring for me,I just want Komi to have some character development and get over with it, especially when the comedy is handled in such a bad way I won't be able to bear through a largely explored cast,but that's just my opinion. And coming from me who loves character driven stories,this statement would be rare but that's just how the characters of this show are.

Yes,this is the main reason...most of the characters are annoying and has no interesting personality. Najimi is the only interesting character for me,even Komi is losing her appeal which she had in S1 tbh.

Side characters don’t need a lot of screen time, why would that be a flaw? Makes 0 sense to me
The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

i get that, but i would like to address the unequality of screen time. Yamai, who is the most disliked character in the series, has more segments centering on her than the others. If a character is introduced, don't you think it is only fair for them to have more than one prominent appearance than being showcased only once and then being reduced to only a background character in the later episodes.

And besides, the show is about making friends, so Komi interacting with other side characters is a logical way of how the show is supposed to flow

if it makes you feel better Yamai barely shows up once we get into 2nd year and 2nd year is where komi really develops as a person

No for God's sake I already can't stand half of the side cast Idk how can an entire cast have the ability to get to one's nerves. We just need Komi, Tadano and Najimi nothing more.

I don’t think it’s realistic for every character to share screen time. I mean when you think about it. If you had 100 friends most of them would be acquaintances. You might hang out sometime with your other friends but there’s always going to be a few people that you spend most of time with. So it only makes sense to develop her close friends

100 friends, thats hella difficult to fit all of those characters into the story. lets cut the author some slack, and he has been doing pretty well with making all the characters introduced kind of relevant

and that rivalry’s is gonna end in like 10 more seasons, it was stretched out for way too long, though arguably the rival is the best character.

it wasn't that bad, once all players on the board were aware of each others feeling it only lasted maybe 40-50 chapters. the bulk of 2nd year was the rival interacting with tadano to show how the attraction developed.
