Manga Classics: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, art by Nokman Poon, adapted by Crystal S. And for fans of the anime will obviously enjoy the original story source. ♦ Yes, there’s going to be a massive, frustrating love triangle and lots of blood-sucking, but there will be action - of which there was almost zilch in this first volume.ĭo I recommend Vampire Knight? Yeah… I do, for those who like vampire stories and can deal with the love triangle. Knowing what’s to come makes me a little hesitant to continue with the manga, but I very well might.

I’m totally team Zero, and even when I was watching the anime I liked Zero so much more than that wash Kaname. Zero has such inner conflict, and he shows far more emotion than anyone else. He’ll keep the peace, but he’s not happy about it. His parents were killed by vampires when he was little and so he has a huge grudge against them. Zero is by far the most interesting and layered character in the story.

Gorgeous, since it’s a rule for vampires to be hot, but that’s pretty much all he had going for him.īut by reading this manga I remembered why I liked Vampire Knight in the first place: Zero. Mysterious Kaname, the vampire who saved Yuki’s life when she was younger and who she has a major crush on, was still as bland as ever. So I formed a love-hate relationship with this popular anime/manga.īut lo and behold - I took out the first manga volume from my library the other day and really enjoyed it. The characters and the plot just got ridiculous. I watched half of the second season, Vampire Knight: Guilty, before I couldn’t handle it anymore. I watched the anime and enjoyed the first season despite all the vampire brooding and Kaname, the president of the Night class, being pretty much a useless turd, and Yuki getting on my nerves. And Yuki and Zero are in charge of making sure the Day class never finds out that the Night class is made up of vampires. The humans are the Day class, the vampires are the Night class. Yet, here I am…īasically, Vampire Knight is about a school that vampires and humans attend, but in separate classes. I said I wouldn’t read Vampire Knight after being unable to finish watching the second season of the anime. Yuki Cross and Zero Kiryu are the Guardians of the school, protecting the Day Class from the Academy’s dark secret: the Night Class is full of vampires! At twilight, when the students of the Day Class return to their dorm, they cross paths with the Night Class on their way to school.

Cross Adademy is attended by two groups of students: the Day Class and the Night Class. She was adopted by the headmaster of Cross Academy, and now works alongside Zero to guard the Academy’s secret. Yuki Cross has no memory of her past prior to the moment she was saved from a vampire attack ten years ago.
