Hyakurin is a blast. And I think that's the thing about Makie...she just doesn't fit with the rest of the cast, even most of the smaller characters are well aware that they're insane and not ashamed of it. Even Rin realizes that she's not quite right in the head and faces life head on, even when she's not ready for it. But Makie? Thinks running away is always the answer. Every time. I'd rather have a half competent charater willing to face life than an angst queen who wastes her life running away from it.
The thing about BotI characters is that they all skirt on the edge of being cliches but manage to escape by the fact that they're all screwed up and irredeemably damaged. Except Makie. Sure, she's emotionally damaged too, but it's hard to care when she's always busy angsting and running away, especially with Magatsu, Manji, Rin, Giichi, Hyakurin and Anotsu hanging around. *was displeased when she started hogging time and got the cover for Anotsu and Rin's road trip*
