Rosario + Vampire 10

The illustrations really bring the characters' feelings to life, especially during key scenes. I'm curious what choices the artist made to emphasize these moments.

The buildup to the big battles was a bit lengthy for me. Was this intentional to develop characters, or just part of the series' rhythm?

The powers feel so unique and creative — I wonder if the author drew on specific myths or just made them up as the story evolved.
