The thing basically everyone gets wrong about Makima Chainsaw Man is that she's not some kind of seductive femme fatale, nor is she a terrifying yandere girlboss. She's some lady who works at an office. She's an NPC. Her suit is too big for her. She's got a dopey smile. She ate a corndog and cried at a stupid movie. She's Literally Just Some Guy.
And then also she did all that shit.
She's just some loser with power over an impressionable child. And everything that came afterwards is what it takes to convince the average reader that teenage boys being groomed and abused is bad, actually.
It does not take a femme fatale mastermind to manipulate and abuse an impressionable child. It doesn't take a girlboss to ruin a kid's life.
Like, she's a primordial demon and all that, but she is also just some lady who goes grocery shopping.
