... it really makes me wonder who is this "King of masks", and what is his position within the Fairy Tale organization, after all his name doesn't really fit with such a low position, as being one of the Fairy Tale's subdivision leaders...

Unfortunately, if "the king of masks" isn't one of the subdivision leaders, it implies that we haven't been introduced to the last two Fairy Tale subdivision leaders yet, and judging by the pattern Ikeda seems to go with in the recent chapters, it seems we will be introduced to them in the next few chapters, before we proceed to the more serious fights - like the fight between Akua and Tsukune for example...

After all, in my opinion this is the list of the Fairy Tale subdivision leaders that we know about:

1st: Miyabi
4th: Sai-Lung
5th: Raika
6th: Revenant: Refined Skeleton
7th: Kaede (defeated in the "Sun" arc, so it's unlikely that he will appear again)

Which, like I said, still leaves the second and third subdivision leaders unrevealed...

Spoiler for 49:

It looks as though we've yet to be introduced to the strongest captains. Miyabi would definitely be in first, implying that he's the strongest. I have the feeling that of all the leaders, the top three are a step beyond the others that Tsukune & friends have fought. Although I'm not sure why you placed Sai-Lung as the leader of the 4th subdivision. That's Routier's place. I'm wondering if he's the leader of another subdivision?

Spoiler for just in case...:

So, I'm sure we're all aware of the infamous moe that has been overblown in anime and manga... well, Yukari basically says that "readers are confused. Is this a moe manga or not?" My immediate reaction was "Hell No!" (let me clarify something here- I don't truly hate 'moe', but it's best in small doses, not overblown like in K-on! and other similar series)... then then show a panel in which they draw everyone very cutesy, to make things more moe, and I believe the reaction is "oh no! now we can't tell anyone apart" "quick, to distinguish them, each must have their own personality traits". And I also cringed when they drew the girls 'moe' style... anyways, I just found it hilarious that the omakes made fun of 'moe', and let's hope that R+V doesn't cross that line... mostly so I can have my sexy Inner Moka

Spoiler:

I doubt R+V will ever go in the moe direction the way K-On and other series of its ilk have. The main reason for it is because K-On doesn't have an on going plot. The manga and the anime feels more like a collection of Omake and nothing else. R+V on the other hand has a pretty strong ongoing story that can be considered quite dramatic if not downright dark, or the potential to become dark.
