Nothing did happened on this volume, however it was very interesting to see where our characters were and how they were doing after the events of volume 10

This one was a bit of a surprise to me. Quite a time jump and a different world. When I started this series I thought it only took place at the school, so the whole leaving thing and now one year into the future took me for sure. Good read though, but all the vampire politics stuff is making me lost.

Volume 11 is a transitional volume. Tons of things happen and at the same time, not a lot happens. It's establishing background for the rest of the series. While there are lots of little stories, political maneuvers, and relationship building, there's not a lot of action. Surprisingly, this wasn't a bad thing. The last few volumes have been so action oriented that I had to read them twice to understand what happened. Volume 11 is more straightforward.
The series has always been serious, but is becoming increasingly so. Even the lighthearted characters are often serious. Aido provides the only moments of levity in this volume, but even he adds to the soap opera like drama.
The Night Class has left the Cross Academy. Yuki and Kaname are holed up in the family castle. Kaname is bugging me. He treats Yuki like such a child and is far too controlling for my taste. At the same time, he is trying to build their relationship. He confesses to her that he killed Shizuka and the entire Senate, because he wants her to love him as he is. The passion between Yuki and Kaname is only growing and Matsuri Hino does a great job of drawing the combination of love and tension between them.
Meanwhile, Zero continues to hunt vampires. He is being groomed by Headmaster Cross to become to new president of the Vampire Hunter Society. He is haunted by Yuki's absence - having vowed to kill her but I think also loving her at the same time. Similarly, Yuki isn't whole without Zero. She loves Kaname, but can't be satisfied without Zero. I am becoming more of a Team Zero person. I can't wait to see him and Yuki together again.
The volume introduces the idea of the vampires and vampire hunter society cooperating. It's not an easy beginning between the two groups and I'm sure will lead to many conflicts in future volumes.

This series is going in such a different direction than what I thought. It’s surprising, and very enjoyable.
So, I’m still surprised by how much I like Kaname. For so long, I didn’t see any appeal in him, and then all of a sudden I love him. There were some scenes between him and Yuki in this volume, and I just want more of those. I’m all for YukixKaname now.
I like Yuki, a lot. She’s struggling with her change into vampire, with drinking blood, but she’s dealing rather well with it. Aido is helping her with school and everything else, and their relationship is surprisingly entertaining, as well as good for them.
Then there’s Zero. Zero is in a very different place now, hunting vampires still. Headmaster Cross (Yuki’s adopted father) is in contact with him, and he’s talking freely with Zero’s Master, who trained him when he was younger. They’re working at the school together. Yuki’s friend, Yori, knows about the vampires now, and I’m intrigued by where her storyline is going. We’re still getting to see all of the other night class students, and I like them, am interested in what they’re doing, even if I’d rather focus on Yuki and Kaname.
Zero and Yuki’s relationship is not good. There was a big time skip in this book, the two haven’t seen each other in a long while, and I’m interested in seeing what they do when they finally see each other and talk. Also dreading it a little, because I’m sure it’s not going to be good.
My interest in this series has slowed a little, but I’m hoping to get the volumes as soon as I can, although it might take a while. Either way, I’m intrigued for where the series is going.

- Some time has lapsed since the last volume. Things have changed.
- It seems like Yuki is really struggling with her new vampire life.
- Why does Zero hate Yuki so much? It isn't like Yuki had any control over what she is or what happened to her, just like him! He is such a hypocrite!

This is a filler to the lead up to what the hunter society snd vampire society will behave to one another We learn that Zero can now stomach blood tablets. The Yuki is still not the best of students and that she longs for her human friend. And then it happens: Yuki can leave the home she has been at to see the hunter and vampire gathering. But we'll have to wait until the next volume for the total encounter.
Still uneasy about the romance in this series but am enjoying the art and most of the storyline.
