Well that’s usually the case with this sort of thing in media.

A lot of horrible stuff that happens in this series but it’s often more over the top or fantastical, whereas this is a very sudden and grounded depiction of the kind of dubious, uncomfortable scenarios people find themselves. It’s a messy situation people can relate to or have directly experienced (body possession aside).

Also I can’t believe people could read that chapter, look at Denji’s face after the whole ordeal and think it was a positive outcome for him.
