Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign  
story by Takaya Kagami, art by Yamato Yamamoto, storyboards by Daisuke Furuya

For reasons unknown to me, Angels seem to be a neverending source of inspiration for manga and anime creators. I suppose there's something mystical and exotic about Western religious imagery to Eastern creators. Probably the same way the Buddha looks exotic and mystical to Westerners. That being said, it's always entertaining to see how angels are dealt with in manga and especially in Seraph. What I'm trying to say is, there's some pretty cool angel stuff in this chapter. Enjoy!
