Yae's quite the character. He's dumb, brutish, delusional, pervy, petty, bitter, and he's got some nerve to keep stabbing his friend in the back while wearing a big fake smile. Koushi-sensei must've put a lot of sadistic effort into designing such a dirtbag, only to have him destroyed already.

Reminds me of how the Kagurabachi author said his favorite character was Sojo
(admittedly Sojo was great)

>Volume 3 finally feels like the real story's beginning

How ominous, I felt things have gone at a good pace overall, we see the problems, we see her fighting and what she is fighting for, we get more insight on how and why she is fighting, little by little it feels like the story is coming together but all at once, I don't feel "slave" to the next big twist or cliffhanger, I mean obviously I want to know what comes after and the author does teases misteries everytime, but it doesn't feel like LOST, something built upon mistery boxes.

I don't know/understand the exact formula but if you execute things well even a predictable mistery can still unravel in a satisfying way.......John Wick 1 we all knew how things would play, he gets revenge, kill all the ones who wronged him, maybe get a dog and walks away alive, yet good enough to spawn multiple sequels, a spinoff, game crossovers and 2 videogames.

I showed this series to my friend (after discovering it a couple days ago) and he compared it to Madoka Magica, I think it's an apt comparison

I don't think they're attached in the way a fan would like a character. I think as the author, they liked how easy it was to understand what Yae would do and how fun it must have been to think up of his twisted mentality.

The creator of Stardew Valley also said their favorite character was the evil mayor, so I think many authors like creating villains.

Feels more like writers are proud of their creations, which I might say is true.
Yae is someone without sympathetic past, complete human nature, sadistic behaviour, making him completly hateable to audiance, done completely right.
Koushi sensei must have put some thought behind it, just to be gone in couple of chapters.
Still… keeping him longer would have made the story suffer, as he is not the main villain, and not even a smart one, cause no one wants to see mc fight a puppet for 100s of chapter.

I think it's also worth considering that mangakas aren't just writers. They spend 90% of their time drawing and that's going to change how they view their characters. Some characters just naturally give more freedom for what they can or can't depict.

I remember the Centuria author, Tooru Kuramori, said his favorite character was Arkos. Since Arkos is such a cocky sadistic dickhead, Kuramori is able to have a lot more fun drawing Arkos' expressions compared to the rest of the cast. Maybe Yae is the same way.

Honestly without the context of the story, you almost think Yae was someone who would smash evil bullies with bats... kinda reflects how much he probably could have been if he was a genuine good guy... but it is what it is.

I love how Its implied that Yotsuha restarted a lot and got punch a lot as well during The Yae Confrontation

I don't know anything about Kagurabachi, but in Ajin, Satou is the antagonist, a mass murderer, terrorist and possibly a psycopath as well, but he's easily the best character in the series. You could even argue that he's the real main character.

Even the fans recognize this: if you check the "favorite character" section in myanimelist.net, he's the top pick, being 3 times more popular than canonical main character Kei Nagai.

It's rare, but skilled authors can definitely make psychopathic characters that readers will feel sympathetic towards.
