huh. Another oddity about this manga that's been bugging me -
Vento has no prior friends.
Yes, prior Vento was an actual rapist psychopath.
But, horribly enough, people love psychopaths. When I was growing up, the school bully was always one of the most popular kids in his grade, if not the most popoular. In the adult world, terrible people are exactly the ones who get promoted to positions of power. Being a shameless monster will draw in countless people who either wish they had the nerve to be shameless monsters, or hope to gain some sort of benefit from clinging to a shameless monster or are shameless monsters themselves.
Vento shouldn't be alone. Vento should have entire former posse of shitbags who are confused that he stopped being fun.
