Still feels like a twilight rip-off....

Art is okay. Character development hasn't happened yet, which is strange. It normally starts in the third volume. Story is slow and fairly interesting. The best part about this is the outfits. They are drawn well on the characters but the characters have proportions that are shifted because the author thinks they needed to be changed. (Ex. legs lengthened, neck lengthened)

Not for me, but others might enjoy.

Great installment! So much insight into the past for our characters and how it affects present-day relationships. I only hope this isn’t a one-off and the rest of the installments pick up, like this one has and we dont return to a boring story. I prefer Kaname over Zero though - there, I said it.

The third volume at Vampire Knight features Kaname and Zero equally. I really do think the Kaname should have gotten full billing in this volume since Volume 2 was primarily about Zero, but hopefully we'll get more Kaname in future volumes.

The book begins with Kaname depressed after learning that Yuki freely gave her blood to ease Zero's pain. We get an idea of just how special Yuki and Kaname are to one another. We already know that Kaname saved Yuki from a vampire when she was a little girl. But now we find out that they kept in contact all throughout Yuki's childhood. She saw Kaname as something between a big brother and a savior worthy of worship. Kaname meanwhile grew to love Yuki as a sweet child and, I think, something more as she grew older.

We learn that Kaname is part of the inaugural class of Night School vampires. Because of his pure blood status, he is highly respected and influential amongst vampires. It was his presence that encouraged other young vampires to join the school.

The volume ends with the introduction of a new character, Maria. She comes off as this sweet innocent vampire who is nervous and excited about starting a new school. But Zero she is something else...

- I loved seeing more of Kaname and Yuki's history in this volume! What is up with those two?

- I want to know what is going on in Kaname's head. He is so stoic and mysterious.

- The new girl is definitely trouble!

- The boy vampires all look the same, except Kaname. They need name tags! Even then, I don't think it would help.
