It's like the author took the general concept for the Twilight series and made it a bit better.
I have mixed feelings about this. The characters are okay but SOOO cliche! I like the design of some of them and the clothing is interesting. I like the story, I think, because the MC is trying to be peaceful. She's just a little ditzy and does stupid Bella stuff. Nothing else really stands out.
I think the art style, though typical of the era, is not the best for the series. If the author made the eyes smaller instead of 15-75% of the facial features, it would be so much better. Like if the person who drew DeathNote drew this, I would totally rate it higher and read it with better enthusiasm.

Now this one was way better than the first one. If you didn't watch the anime, the twists are really cool to discover. It has some hilarious part with Yuki and Zero.

Este volumen fue mucho mejor que el primero. Si nunca has visto el anime, los giros son muy interesantes. Hay unas partes muy graciosas con Yuki y Zero.

Complicated relationships, and I love that every character in this series can stand on its own. I do already prefer her with one guy over the other, but I stupidly accidentally googled and know who Yuki ends up with.
I’m struggling with this series though. As good as it is - enough to give it five stars - I’m not quite fully into it. Like, do I want to invest my time on this series when so far, little seems to be happening? Am I just not in a manga mood at the moment and that’s all it is? I have no clue. Especially since I know the ending now, so the surprise is gone whoops.
I’m going into book 3, and I’ll keep at it before I make the decision. It has great potential for sure. Still obsessed with the art. The emotions each character deals with is fantastic and yanks you right in.

I saw the tv show first, and once I found out it was based off a book (Graphic Novel/Magna), I decided to read the books like I do every time I find out a movie/tv show is based off a book. I thought the books were gonna be a little different than the tv show like most of the time, but I was Happily surprised. The books and tv show are equally as good, and both of them transferred me into the world of Yuki and Zero. From the 1st book, a startling secret was discovered, and the author did an Amazing, fantastic job in carrying out the story. I love the art, and how the author was able to express the characters, along with the story's plot. I especially love how Yuki constantly explains things to the reader. Amazing book. Highly recommended. And hope you read the books and the Tv show. P.S the tv show didn't do episodes based off of all the books. So if you want to know the true Ending to Vampire Knight, you have to read the books. That's another reason why I'm reading the books, I want to know the true ending to Vampire Knight, because they didn't air books 11-19 on tv. And stopped with season two with book 11. Recommended for all readers, who live books, vampires, ages 8+, and even for those who don't like Anime, I hated Anime two weeks ago, and now I'm obsessed with Anime after seeing this tv show. I know some Anime is "bad" but this book doesn't show any "bad" stuff and is appropriate for ages as young as 8 in my opinion, unless you count blood as bad. Then ages 10+ But every Vampire fan is gonna need to see blood. 5 Stars Highly Recommended, ages 8+ in my opinion. Great story line, love the Art, and Characters. Can't wait to finish all 19 books, and I'm currently on book 3 as I write this.

Volume 2 of Vampire Knight is really Zero's story. He is a truly tragic figure. We learn at the end of volume 1 that when vampires attacked his family, Zero was bitten and is slowly becoming a vampire. Poor Zero. No one hates vampires more than him. Yuki promised to someday kill Zero if he gets out of control. Now we learn just how bad Zero really has it. He is a "Class E" vampire and will slowly lose all sense of himself. Yuki and Zero encounter such a vampire and it is truly terrifying.
Yuki sacrifices herself for Zero, in more ways than one. She isn't in love with him - or actually, I think she is, but she doesn't know it. I'm guessing that Yuki sees him as a quasi-brother and best friend. She will do anything to help him, even if it means killing him. Creative, giving Yuki comes up with some other solutions to save Zero's sanity, at least temporarily.
The Kaname/Yuki relationship is somewhat on the back burner in this volume. We still get a few moments where we realize how much Kaname cares for Yuki. She idolizes him and she is obviously very special to him. It's not entirely clear to me just how "in love" he is with Yuki. I think this will become clear as the volumes continue.
Another great volume that left me wanting more...
