In the same chapter (chapter 8, if you feel like hunting it down for self-reference) you'll notice Sayaka looks noticeably darker, likely for much the same reason--you can't show her empty, emotionless voice in the manga.
Yep, you are right about that. Those images are more for impact than actual smiling I suppose...and really, quite creepy...
