D.Gray-Man, Vol. 18: Lonely Boy

The artwork really amplifies the horror and fantasy elements. I'm curious if it was a conscious choice or evolved as the story progressed.

The story felt more introspective and tense at times, which was different from the usual fast-paced action. Was that intentional to build suspense?

The creativity behind the demons is incredible, from their appearance to their powers. I wonder if real-world folklore influenced these designs.
