Прекрасный воин Сейлор Мун. Том 6

The illustrations are so vibrant and expressive — do you think the art choices influence how readers perceive the characters' personalities?

The bonds between the characters felt really genuine, but I wonder if the author based these relationships on real experiences or observations?

Their motives add a new layer to the story, but I'm curious whether this was planned from early on or developed later during writing.
