damn bitch what do you even want from poor mc lmao
if I had to guess --

She doesn't actually want to kill him or harm him.
Back when he first went to interview her, he was doing it under the impression it would be actual journalism of substance. Getting to the truth of what happened, and so on. Actual integrity stuff. BUT, his editor took his interviews and twisted them into salacious tabloid nonsense for the sake of sales and money, distorting her story and all of his work on it.
She was understandably pissed at him at first (we see a flashback in 1.2 where he's back at the prison talking to her and she's screaming at him about the interviews effectively being a setup and how "she'll come find him" eventually)--only I'm gonna bet that she's since found out the truth of what happened, and how he's not actually to blame, and he really was trying his best and toward her best interests.
On top of that, he might have also just been kind to her during the interviews. Showed her basic human decency & respect, when it's possible and honestly likely that no one else around her was doing the same. So he became a bright spot in her world, and the only one she thought was "on her side".
So when she finds out the truth about the articles and how he was also used, she decides to find him when she gets out--only she wants to be with him, because she's fallen in love with him during her time in prison, remembering what he'd tried to do for her and how he'd acted toward her.
She's likely stalked him completely and knows all about his life. She GPS'd him, she knows about his family and family history, and she might have even become an amazing amateur mangaka to give him a "solid series" that he could take and turn his professional life around with.

All in pursuit of trying to obtain him and capture his love and insert herself into his life in a way where he can't live without her, or at least can't get away from her.

But it's all being played as her being insane and psychotic and violent, partly for humor, partly for the horror, but it's more twisted romance than anything (that's also currently one-sided).

That's too much, don't you think? One interview and suddenly she falls in love with a reporter that only spoke with her because of work-related reasons? No matter how unstable she was, there's no way that could happen. She is smart and cunning, so there's something more to her behavior.
Also i'm sure that he is not the only one that interviewed her because the incident is an attempt of murder, which is big.

People in love are crazy man.
He could have been the only nice person that interviewed her, or maybe the one that treated her like a human being.
In these kinds of story, especially yandare ones, the smallest things an MC does is just enough to trigger them yandare girls into a frenzy

I did say "if I had to guess". I'm not claiming I got it in one.

I worked with what we'd been told thus far; undoubtedly we'll get more information that'll prove how far off-base I was, but I do think that's at least a good chunk of the basis of it.

But - we even have him getting majorly upset at his editor when he found out what had been done to his article, indicating that he did care about her, or at the very least at ensuring the interviews he had with her were treated and portrayed fairly and accurately. He went so far as to leave his position over it, which is how he ended up as a manga editor instead.
We also don't know the full contents of the interview, except that it was changed to sensationalize what had happened. We also know from ch. 1.2 that he was upset that his editor effectively made the printed version "completely different from [his] interviews" (p.11), and that she saw the printed article and accused him of "playing both sides" (p.7). To me, that implies that whatever his interviews and discussions with her were, they were effectively the opposite of what would be considered sensationalism, or lurid morbid curiosity, or exploitative.
We also see that he is generally kind and considerate in his demeanor. Our ML isn't one to be petty or vindictive, even against the other editor who's rocketing to fame and is the publisher's hotshot. He's jealous, sure, but any bitterness is turned inward and transformed into determination. So he doesn't really have a shit personality or one that implies he's violent or angry all the time, despite his lot in life.

We also see him act with kindness and consideration toward others. That suggests that he did the same for her back when she was in prison during the interviews, because that's a through-line of his behavior and actions.
It's not concrete or conclusive, but there's enough in these three chapters to suggest that he left an impression on her, and she has since sought him out. She also "threatened" (in his eyes, anyway) to always be watching over him, and to come and find him. Which, she has.

Also, this wouldn't be the first story that portrays a female lead going full yandere over one instance of the male lead being kind to her. Her being smart and cunning isn't mutually exclusive with her being some level of unstable and seeking out the single person who was showed her compassion when she was in a turbulent period in her life.

That's a veritable wall of text.
But I don't fundamentally disagree.

The biggest overreach I can criticize is that we don't really see him fighting for journalism integrity. He only tepidly complained that wasn't what he wrote.

But as a guess, it's not a bad one. I will even expand on it.

Imagine a follow up interview by the editor. She demands to know where the hack journalist who set her up is. Only to be told he quit in a tiff, offended about how his article was twisted into morbid sensationalism.

Why would the editor act like that? Because this is a manga, so two bit characters will have a one note personality.

I could've written double the amount but I felt I was stretching things already.

By "integrity" I meant that he was doing those interviews for the sake of getting her story, whereas his editor just wanted sensationalism and "whatever sold magazines". That tells me what saw print, wasn't the truth, or at least the truth she'd imparted to him during their meetings.

Also, several years had passed between that article and her release/him meeting her again. A lot likely happened on her end in that time frame. And if she was in any sort of solitary or otherwise drastic incarceration circumstances, I wouldn't be surprised if she went a touch loony in the interim (given how psychologically damaging stuff like solitary confinement can be IRL).

I think this manga is gonna end with him setting up a clever but dastardly rube goldberg contraption that comically and fatally pushes her out the window of a 8 story apartment, landing in busy traffic while moments later a large tsunami strikes. After which Japan sinks and since the planes at TYO airport cant land, all of them happen to crash land onto her after simultaneously running out of fuel.
