Rule of law means not using legal bureaucratic authority over dungeon delvers to deal with people clearly breaking rules and abusing their power. After all, rule of law means that the powerful don't ever get punished???

I mean, from what I read and understood, that was the agency lady's whole issue? That by and large the government was letting these Absolute One-Person-Armies go unchecked recklessly, AND that they were behind in the Dungeon cultivating game to the point of feeling like Japan was basically playing second or third fiddle compared to the west. The reason Vomit was allowed to do as he wanted was because he up until then was a relative 'pressure valve' for that issue, or rather a self-solving problem because he and that Black whatever clan would trash potential up-and-comers that could get TOO strong. Better the devils you know, and all that.
I mean, it's brutal, but when a girl basically proves that what she did to monsters she could do to your entire nation's military single-handedly (without a way for you to fight back reliably without resorting to bombing your own people to try and catch her in an AOE due to speed and hardiness differences), I feel like there's some reason to be had in the desire to lock them down, so to speak, and/or to make certain that risk stops even being a risk. Mifuyu seems to more or less be saying "I don't give a single shit if Japan is a puppet state and the entire nation becomes puppets for other powers, be they singular or national- as long as my friend is happy, you can all burn for all I care." Which sounds nice from a viewer perspective...not so much if you're intending for the average citizen in the comic to be sympathetic and thus one of the burned.
well lets just say in the future we get to hear of a Dungeon queen who united all of Africa. she finds out about our Lady and "sneaks" into the country and they become buddies. And also special mention to the future Super Simp of hers we get later too
For the friend to already be a jaded and retired from a government organization while in highschool...was she recruited as a 10 year old? I'm just laughing at the mental image of this absolutely tiny child being dragged into a government bureaucracy, murdering people with those wires she showed, then getting excited that her mom put a candy in her bento, and then there's the office politics. I imagine she began as a fresh faced, normal child, and her current personality is just the burn out of being a federal agent since before hitting puberty.
They mention 3 "monsters" hunters? If Karin is one of them, I'm guess we will get introduced to the other 2 later in the series. Or we were already acquainted with them
She has a mega-dark backstory, albeit one that isn't really detailed. Karlin, equally, has a pretty bad history (her family is dead, she barely has money for food and school fees, she got no counciling for her loss and fixated on Dungeon Alive! instead.)
Karlin however is so positive and motivated Maifu got dragged into her world, when Maifu really had no reason to do anything at all.
I thought Mafuyu would be the daughter of dungeon management director or crazy rich zaibatsu that deals in magic stone. Turns out she's one of the top 3 adventurer. I'm glad the author avoided the most common trope setting
Ooh, so that's why some of Karin's stan mentioned the African dungeon queen
There are multiple "nation state toppling strength" Explorers, usually only one or two per country. Japan had two (not incluing Maifu or Karlin) but as a class, top tier Explorers are very rare.
The African Queen is a good example of one (and will visit) and a pizza obscessed American is another (and again will visit) but with the success of Karlin in bringing Japan more dungeon-forward, both the other Japanese "monsters" will be mentioned as deciding to try streaming
"We've been short staffed since you left" - They talk as if she was working for them for many years, but she's a teen... so what, she start working with them at the age of four or something?
It is mentioned that several high ranking explorers are at least young-looking. Black government organizations apparently chose to almost literally throw young orphans into the Dungeons to do or die - mostly the latter. Japan and Africa both did this.
Maifu however had to retire due to injuries that never totally healed, so is out of the business (mostly)

So, realistic then
Seriously, Black Tiger has serious (open) political clout, and corrupt officials allowing them to sweep even serious crimes under the rug.
Not uncommon in manga, especially in dungeon orientated manga, sorta-mafia-like.

Agreed; especially seeing some of the things they have picked up for anime this year, They need to do this (and possibly D-Genesis, which has some similarities and also has a manga)
Unsure how much the manga will cover; its kept pretty vague in the WN, and normally, manga tones it down some, then anime tones it down even more.
Maifu WAS basically government black ops, with her Unique Skill of being able to produce and manipulate "threads" as strong as wire being more of an assassination skill (as showcased in today's update)
Sadly, the supporting characters aren't fleshed out THAT much, and are often played more for comic effect.
But not uncommon in these kinds of stories. Plenty of geopolitical dramas will do that, or have most of Asia be one big exoticised blob because the writer didn't understand much about the regions. You even hear people in real life refer to an election or cultural event as happening "In Africa."
