wtf “XxVikkixX” are you emo or something? By the way this series is unbearable to watch, so I would at least take a look at the manga so the crappy animation doesn’t get in the way.

for all you haters: i dont give anything about what you think, but ill love it till the bitter end.

for you lovers: i agree with you on a lot of things except the part where yuki fan for life (kanameXyuki) said that zero sucks. hes my favorite character mainly becuz i have many things in common with him like his depressing factor and his strong hatred in general.

sorry for the blunt comments but I have heard worse from zero fans who go and diss kaname, I think it’s about time kaname fans fight fire with fire (gins). anyways KanameXyuki forever no matter how this story turns out.

I have read every single comment posted here in regards to the manga series Vampire Knight. I must say that there really isn’t a right or wrong answer to how good VK is. Everyone has different opinions and tastes in things and so naturally not everyone is going to love VK. I for one became addicted to VK the very moment I picked it up XD (Heh! I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for shoujo fluff like VK -_-’)
I too have my own opinion on this manga series. Ok so the things that caused my addiction to this fantastic manga was:
1. The artwork. (Seriously it’s beautiful and enthralling O___O it was the first thing that captured my attention. I love how Sensei Matsuri Hino carefully expresses the emotions from the characters within the series through the attentive detail of her artwork. It’s really and truly amazing, so I admire her for that. Personally, I like the manga series better than the anime series for this sole purpose XD Umm one negative point though about her artwork…I had a little trouble at first distinguishing the Night Class characters (but really, this shouldn’t be the reason as to why you would discard this awesome manga into a corner.)
Anyway!
2. The mystery and tension O___O (This is the second main reason as to why I love love VK! XD It’s one of the only manga/anime series I’ve watched and read (besides the oh-so-awesome Death Note) that has had me mulling over what’s going to happen next, despite whether I like it or not. Yeah…the first few volumes (mainly volume 1 and 2) lacked in this factor. Like, the revelations didn’t feel all that suprising because Hino makes it so obvious -_-’ (For example Zero transforming into a vampire…Duh! I was like ‘OMG that was so effing obvious) Though really, the later chapters (chapters 30-44) get REALLY interesting and again keeps you guessing where the plot is going to turn.
Anyway, I suppose VK is just one of those stories that maintains curiosity within anyone who comes across it.)
3. Talking about the past (Throughout the series Hino often allows the reader to gain an insight into the main characters pasts gving them a better understanding on the overall storyline. Then again there are pasts that are unclear, foggy and unexplained, this however is what builds the mystery within this story.)

Hmm negative points about VK….
1. The whole ‘introducing the plot and characters’ thing took too long to fold out in my opinion (Still didn’t stop me from throwing VK in the trash though XD)
2. It is FULL of cliches (eg human falling in love with a charming vampire, blah blah blah so on and so forth! Honestly though the way the current chapters are unfolding it seems that Hino is absorbing more original plots and ideas into the manga, making it all the more intriguing O____O
3. I have to agree with everyone that Yuuki is a rather weak and dependant character at first but as the story progresses she becomes the opposite to that. I suppose in the end you’ll grow to love her. I hated her at first…I’m like OMG you oblivious girl so so so stupid! Gah! But yeah I grew to love her character in time ^-^ Despite Yuukis feeble character the other characters within the manga make the story a whole lot more interesting (eg Zero, yes very interesting, and probably one of the other things that still has me reading this manga.) XD

Hmm yes, well! Man I can go on for days and days about the pros and cons of this manga…And yes my precise point, now that I think about it, is that all mangas have their pros and cons so you can’t diss VK by comparing it with other mangas because they too have their own good points and bad points.

Umm yeah…before I wrap up I’d like to discuss the expected number volumes for VK. I’m inclined to agree with Ella. I really do think that VK is going to end somewhere around volume 10 because the way things are going in the manga it seems that Matsuri Hino is drawing to a conclusion of some sort. And besides the conclusion is said to be 2 volumes after the eighth (a friend of mine helps translates the manga chapters online and she told me the ending, regrettably I might say T^T) On addition to the overall ending to this manga I’m not going to reveal what I know happens (Seriously I don’t want to spoil the series for any VK fan out there that’s reading this) All I can say is that the overall ending (around chapters 45 -50 probably?) does involve the whole Yuuki-Zero-Kaname love triangle issue and that well it’s VERY tragic and sad T____T I’m sorry that I even found out…*sniff*
Anyway *takes a look at comment* Whoa! Lol, I better stop here -_-’ Hope my comment made sense and helped! And for the record I’m 16 so of course I’d love something like VK

thanks,
