Vampire Knight

 

So, I figured that for the first Manga Review, we should do a manga that inspired me to be called Zeki. Why? My shipping, duh!
But I will try to be as unbiased as possible!

Vampire Knight[Plot from MangaReader.net]
Cross Academy is attended by two groups of students: the Day Class and the Night Class. 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. Yuki Cross and Zero Kiryu are the Guardians of the school, there to protect the Day Class from the Academy's dark secret: the Night Class is full of vampires.

Bad plot info, I know. But, basically, it's about Yuuki Cross, Zero Kiryuu, and Kaname "Bluck" Kuran. Sorry, ignore the "Bluck" I'm trying to be unbiased, but I can't stand him!
Anyway, the story starts in Cross Academy but drifts to also include the Hunter Association, Kaname's house(don't have a propper term, sorry), and various places that they travel to. I do believe that there are quite a few characters that I would love to go through with my review on them. But, first, let's do a basic review.
The Manga is FANTASIC! I didn't watch the anime, honestly. They tend to cut stuff out from the manga. So, manga-wise, I love it! Zero is SO cool and mysteriuos and inspired me to create a manga music video about him and Yuuki. Kaname is horrible...er, rather cruel appearing. In my eyes, his only soft spot is for Yuuki. But, I can't think of it being him and Yuuki without screaming out "INCEST!!!" or whatever the term is for people related to one another getting together. And come Yuuki's leaving Cross Academy, I personally almost threw the laptop I use to read manga on. Poor thing. I can't help it if it made me nearly scream my head off.


Now, character reviews:

Yuuki Cross

My opinion of her is simple: She's too kind. Yet also, rather stupid. I don't like her much. I don't know why. Yes, I enjoy her character and have an opinion on who she would be with, hating her other option. However, I don't like how she's such a wimp when vampires try to suck her blood. And she simply offers it up to Zero at one point. Stupid much? I mean, she was almost sucked dry by the epic dude! So, why give it up? Who says he won't actually suck her dry? Sure, she's known him since she was little. Big deal. I'm sorry, but I really don't like her.



Kaname Kuran


What can I say about this guy? Um...I hate him. That's a first. I can't stand how he is. He killed Aidou Hanabusa's dad! And he had the nerve to abandon Yuuki to be taken into custody by the vampire hunters! Baka much? I don't like how intimidating he is and, in whole, he is a rather confusing character. Like, his past is the definition of confusing. Is he her brother or not? I felt like screaming when I read that chapter. And not a fan girl scream as much as a psycho scream.



Zero Kiryuu


Ah, the one main character that I actuall enjoy. Why? His past is SO sad! And I love his eyes! And I can't help but admit I have a thing for characters with silver hair. And he is SO cool! I feel really sorry and wouldn't have been freaked out if I learned he ate his brother. Sure, I felt sorry for his brother, but it was his brother's choice. Ichiru was just a pathetic human in the eyes of most. Anyway, I believe Zero had a sad past that I really love to death. Characters with a sad past are my favorite! I'm sorry, Zero, but if you had a past as confusing as Kaname's, I would probably like you less. So, be happy yours is easy to understand!



Aidou "Idol-sempai" Hanabusa

 What can I say? I love this blood drinker! He is one of my favorite vampires and I feel sorry for what he's had to go through. I mean, the stupid-headed Kaname had to kill his father RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE POOR GUY! And he's rather loyal to the Kuran's. Even after seeing Kaname kill his dad, he is willing to hel Yuuki reestablish to Night Class. I absolutely love him!!! I can't help it!



The rest of the Night Class do not really stand out, nor does Yuuki's friend Yori. In fact, I'm not a fan of Yori. Other than that, I don't have much of an opinion on the characters.

For a person who either dislikes or has no opinion on most of the characters, I love this manga! I mean, it's too perfect to miss! I love the story line and am reading a chapter online whenever one comes up!
