So literally now our Inner Moka is a Tsun-Tsun...later on she'll be a Dere. Cool.
R+V really brings in the some of the best MILF's in manga's. We really need to see the manga version of daddy Starbucks. If he looks like Tsukune or similar to the anime version. These are chapters where I want ANOTHER ONE ASAP!

I don't see how Tsukune can see Moka being tainted just because her mom looks like her. She needed to have had sex with someone or else Moka won't exist. Babies don't come from storks |

Hmm, for some reason, now I'm reminded of an ero-game called Mama Love were the two main female characters are Moka and Kokoa look-a-likes. And now that it's been revealed that Moka's mom looks just like her outer self, suddenly that game's premise becomes more plausible.

Well, what's the mother exactly like? I'm going to suscribe to the theory that Moka and her mother look very close because that's the appearance the more gentle vampires have a tendency to favor... or something along those lines

Rival? No. Evil, twisted villainous character who loves to torment those weaker than her, yes. That looks very much like something she'd be. Which reminds me of a certain fanfic where that was exactly the case, except her name was Ria.

As I just put in one of the other rosario threads, I hadn't actually realised there was a manga thread, so with a few edits I'll join this one....whoops!
Originally I wasn't so keen on the second season, after reading the first few chapters, because it seemed like stuff had taken a step backwards from how things were at the end of the first 'season'. I think some poor translation probably didnt help either. OK well I've revised my opinion, after the first 5-8 or so of the second season, it does seem to get a lot better, and the storyline seems to have gone down a more mature route. Theres also more hints towards Tsukune/Moka's future together which is great because Im a sap for a love story hehe Not to mention I like Inner and Outer Moka, so I hope for the merged personality ending, we don't know 100% (or its not been revealed in the part I'm up to) where O.Moka came from, so I tend to favour it being the side of 'true' Moka's personality that was hidden/overriden by her stronger vampiric traits, so in essence, O.Moka is I.Moka's gentle side which was usually buried away beneath the pride, and vampiric upbringing (remember the comment to Kokoa that her family values strength above all else? With an upbringing like that, it'd be easier for your 'weaker' traits to become submerged/hidden). The rosario effectively sealed off the more vampiric side of her personality, allowing the kinder side to flourish as its own personality, and thus it would make sense the two sides could blend back together, which from a few spoilers I've seen without meaning to, seems to be beginning to happen anyway, as both sides are showing more 'other' Moka style traits. Personally I'd really like that ending, because I don't want a Harem ending, I'd like some resolution, and with deepest respect to the other characters, bar PERHAPS Mizore (if Moka was taken out of the picture), I really do feel Moka is the right person for Tsukune, both in personality and physical terms (he is a somewhat human/vampire hybrid after all now) and he's obviously far more deeply, more emotionally involved with her than any of the others, and really has been since day one. Much as the others don't want to recognise it (although Kurumu pretty much has), they know that Tsukune has all but made his choice anyway. I think for example the scene where he asked Moka to be with him forever after the Ghoul incident, the fact she was the only one he had really spoken about with his parents about on the phone (and had mentioned wanting to introduce them) or the small night-time scene at the end of the Sun-senpai arc are all clear signs of this. One of these days he'll probably actually manage to kiss her without someone else getting in the way [or being bitten because Moka is hungry]! I mention Mizore because I think given what we know now, I think she'd be the best second choice, while she's a little strange sometimes, she obviously still cares deeply for Tsukune, she's shown surprising amounts of restraint against forcing herself on Tsukune given what we now know about the multiple time limits she's running up against that the others don't have (hell the one time she did almost, she even said this could just be for one night if it was what he wanted), and on a few occasions she's shown more compassion/empathy towards Tsukune and his feelings than Kurumu and Yukari have, which I'd say is kinda important in any sort of relationship. I guess it really was a case during those opening sections that the mangaka was perhaps feeling thier way around where they wanted to take the story in the near future, and perhaps doing some preliminary work for anyone who hadn't read the story before so it was established that Tsukune is still relatively human and...mostly outmatched... unless he 'awakens'. Roughly up to chapter 22 now, with 28 translated out, and the 29th now out as raw so should be soon....gah its gonna be a long wait for this to finish with the monthly releases! Spoiler for some personal thoughts:

On your point on part A/E
Spoiler:
I wonder if the Mangaka is planning to end this season around chapter 40 as well, so both halves of the series are identical length, the series certainly seems to be moving towards some big events/unveils etc this time round. Hopefully we're not that close to the end though.

It's prbably something to do with Tsukune's kindness. If Moka's mother acts just like outer Moka, then we can say that "kindness" of another soul is the key to taking the rosary off. And it seems that the "type" of kindness is also a factor since Kurumu couldn't take it off when faced with those ogres back in season 1.
Seems that the seal on Moka is very complicated and involves a lot of seemingly unnecessary clutter for just a power seal. But if there is a memory/personality/soul seal there too, then I can see just how things would get that much more complex for the seal mechanics.

Season 2 is just a clever naming convention, as S1 ended due to circumstances and not because the story called for it.

As I said I hope the manga continues for a while yet (although the month-ish wait per volume is going to get painful once I've finished the current batch, as I read pretty quick and I've read S1 1-40 and S2 1-22 in about 2 days..doh...at least 29 should be translated soon)
