Description
Maki Harukawa is easily my favorite heroine of Danganronpa. I'd even say she's the best heroine with the best character arc. Yes, I think she's better than Kyoko, who is top-tier but doesn't have as much of a character arc, and Toko, who's actually almost tied with her, and Chiaki, who as much of a waifu, but not as good as a character. Speaking of waifus, Yor is easily the best waifu of 2022, don't even try me.

I know people pair Maki against Karma, Blitzo, and Akame. Here's the thing. I don't know Blitzo. Akame and Maki is probably the most thematic of those three, but it doesn't have too much outside of child assassins who look similar. Karma vs Maki has nothing outside of red assassins and the general connection of AssClass and Danganronpa. I also never watched Kill Bill, so that's out.

Next Up: Leone vs Yang, Izuku Midoriya vs John Doe, and Fred vs Megatron

Connections:
- Red and black assassins who started as children, which affected how they grew up
= The contrast is that Maki became distant from others but still knew basic human interactions while Yor became friendly with others but didn't know basic human interactions
- Both grew up taking care of young children
= Children at an orphanage
= Yuri Briar
- Both eventually end up being a part of a new family under the guise of being a caretaker
= Maki as the Ultimate Caretaker
= Yor as a step-mother
- Their stories revolve around a fake life eventually becoming real
= Maki's whole story was that she was living a fake life with even a fake story, but eventually becomes her own character
= Yor's whole story is that she's pretending to be a step-mother for Anya, but eventually become a genuine mother for Anya
- Both their relationships with others change them
= Maki finds genuine friends
= Yor finds a new family
- Both their stories involve a school of life of fake identities
= A killing game life fabricated by Team Danganronpa
= Operation Strix
- Both are genuinely associated with a trio
= Maki, Shuichi, and either Kaito or Himiko
= Yor, Loid, and Anya
