Exactly. Like I said above, she's kinda self-absorbed in the manga. She doesn't do her job, and so a lot of people died unnecessarily at the end because she was too busy trying to kill Mei, for no apparent reason.

At least she had a somewhat valid justification in the anime.

In the movie, it was more a matter of her being a psychopath (which, I learned yesterday, is not the same as being psychotic; Takako is psychotic, Tomohiko is a psychopath).
