Vampire Knight vol.1

March 5, 2008

Bare with me as I give you one of the most convoluted manga plots in recent history.

Cross Academy is a school which is devided into two classes, who never see each other, A Day Class, and a Night Class.

The Day class is just like any other class. The Night class is made of Vampires. I bet you weren’t expecting that, huh? I mean, Vampires, in a manga called Vampire Knight? No way!

Yes way.

On top of that, it’s a secret. However, left to guarding the secret, and the classmates from each other, are Yuki and Zero. Both Orphans with shady relations to Vampires. Their families were both killed by them. However Yuki (female) was rescued by Kaname. This ofcourse was a long time ago and bygones are bygones, right? Wrong.

This first volume is not paced well. I didn’t really notice this reading only one chapter per month, but in it’s collected fromat it’s a little something like reading the summary of a direct to video movie : Zero becomes a vampire, Yuki seems to like him and Kaname and is torn between a pure blood and a transforming Vampire on the verge of mental collapse, who also hunts them and is visited by his old mentor who is phased out by the end of the volume!!

It’s full of melodrama and suggestive blood sucking positions. but it gets better. once it figure out what the fack it’s going to be about!
