>>280585018Isn't this one of the former Chain Saw Man creator's assistants?
Probably just falling back into his old style now they are between major drama arcs.
Honestly I think between this and Centuria Fujimoto (or whatever the Chain Saw Man writer's name is) was getting tons of writing advice from his assistants and has almost lost his way without them.
This whole 'so-comically-insane-it's-like-they-are-straight-out-of-a-movie' cult arc is pretty much in line with the kind of writing you'd see in Fire Punch or CSM part 1.
The new Alien Adapter chick being so quirky, young-looking, and hot is probably an editor directive to bait in new readers and keep current readers sticking around.
