Rosario + Vampire Season 2 Volume 6

This is just starting to get a little creepy.  Creepy's not quite the right word but it's at least unsettling.  Ruby is clearing a sadist, and anxious for Tsukune to be the one to hurt her, Yukari has always been bisexual but when the chance for polygamy comes up all the girls (save Moka) are on board.  Ikeda breaks the fourth way repeatedly in this volume, from suggesting the Tsukune would be great in slash manga to arguing whether Rosario is "moe".  Fangfang struck me as a tribute to Ranma 1/2, being androgynous and hanging around with a panda.

I'm curious where Ikeda's going with his inner/outer Moka being unable to switch places and inner Moka being the one on the outside when there's no fighting happening.
