The Deep character of Himeno
Who is Himeno? Himeno is a side character for the anime Chainsaw Man. Today I will be talking about her lore. First, let's talk about her relationship with Denji. Although it is not legal It shows how flawed she is which is never shown with women in anime. Women in anime are never shown with major flaws they normally never even show anything but a slutty personality and a nice body although Himeno may have that stereotype Fujimoto carries her out in a way that gives her a personality and she is strong she gives her life for Aki and she thinks her dead comrades are weak she still visits there graves showing that although she may just seem like fanservice she has a voice and a personality. Now let's talk about Himeno's alcohol under the influence of alcohol she does bad stuff including Kissing underage people trying to have sex with underage people and even THROWING UP IN DENJIS MOUTH. Although alcohol is not an excuse for the things she has done she even openly admits she was wrong by saying people throw you in jail for doing those things with minors.

Now to question why does she feel the need to sexualize herself? We see in the outro of Chainsaw Man she is shown in a bra and then seconds later she is shown screaming or crying for help. I think that the reason she sexualizes herself whether it be having sex kissing or just blankly being sexual I think it's a cry for help so that someone will care enough about her so that she can share her true feelings and have a shoulder to cry on. She wants to be cared for which explains her last words "Don't die Aki so you can cry for me." She wanted to be cared for. She also smoked knowing she wouldn't have long to live she knew she was going to die so she gave up her life to save the man she loved. Yes, Himeno is not a good person. She also had a sister and a father to care for. She became a devil hunter to provide for her family and friends. Yes, Himeno is not a good person Yes, her actions are not unjustified but we can at least appreciate what she did for Aki and the division she is an in-depth well written female character.
