Agreed. In early chapters, it seems Mitsunaga took references and paid a lot of homage to classic monster movies, now he's kind of all over the place. I think it adds a little more depth and keeps the writing flexible. I'm happy to see Madeline speaking, and intrigued to see where this goes as fars the possible battle between Lilliane and Sylvia.
I've also noticed in recent chapters that Riza has been the result of more fan service jokes as of late. Her reactions make them worth it.
