Whenever there's a break in the publication of the manga, there will be a new week-long poll regarding one of the ongoing mysteries in the series. By the end of the week, we'd be able to see what most of the community think is the truth behind the mystery.
After the week's over, I'll put the results in the first post (and a new poll will be added in case the break is longer than just one week).
Feel free to post what you voted and explain why you voted for it.
You're also welcome to suggest what mystery the next poll should be about.
