It's a mystery. Nobody knows what's going on in her head.
She never wanted the power. She didn't ask for it. But she can't really just give it up and go back to being an ordinary human either. Not after everything she had seen and experienced.
Does she love Yasaburo? I think not. She does like him a lot though. He's probably the only one she could really talk to. Or at least she felt that she could talk to him. So she usually gets disappointed when Yasaburo started acting like a servant.
So why did she do this and that? I think even she didn't know. I guess she's just bored. She could easily get anything, except the things she wanted. Because she didn't know what she wants. Just a lonely woman trying to feel alive.

She's just a fucking mess of a person.

As it is, I don't think she likes Yasaburo in that way, she just wants to be liked by him and to tease him and shit.

I'm fairly certain she loves Yasaburo since he's really the first one to give her any mind at all as a person and not some fling. That being said, I do agree. She's a complete fucking mess in the head, and I legitimately feel sorry for her because she seems so realistic as a personality and as a person who just can't seem to find her place in the world.

>She could easily get anything, except the things she wanted. Because she didn't know what she wants.
So, she's a typical attractive woman?

The way I see it, they're sorta like soul mates that just unfortunately can't work things out.

I don't think she loves him romantically, if she does then she isn't aware of it at least. Some of the S2 scenes gave me the impression she was looking for "family" in him and if the 3rd novel takes that angle it wouldn't surprise me.

I mean that one scene where she came in and started freezing shit while crying is pretty indicative of her feelings towards him. On an unrelated note, I don't know if this counts as SS

>What's Benten's deal?
She's a power-hungry, egotistical bitch who got kidnapped when she was a teenager.
>Does she love Yasaburo
Yes.
>why is she fucking other men left and right?
She's actually not, but both herself and Yasaburo know that he's beneath her, socially. Yasaburo has clearly been in love with Benten for a long time, but he'd never act on his feelings out of far and reverence. Benten, likewise, views Yasaburou as an entertaining Tanuki and wouldn't hesitate to eat or kill him if she had to, even if she'd regret it afterwards. Her feelings towards Yasaburo should be pretty clear after season 2's ending.

That scene was Yasaburou's daydream though.
I have absolutely no clue how old everyone is supposed to be.
