Rosario. Vampire vol. 5 (Perfect Paperback)

The series shifts between funny moments and serious conflicts seamlessly. I'm curious how the author decides when to lean into humor versus tension.

The characters often grapple with fitting in and accepting themselves, which felt very relatable. How much of their personality is based on real teenage experiences?

The world-building feels so vivid and creative. Wondering if the author drew inspiration from existing folklore or crafted it entirely from imagination.
