Like a lot of the other reviews of this one, I’m getting confused with Kaname’s character. I like…liked? Him. But I don’t get what’s happening anymore.

Some manga series are pretty simple. You can step away from it for months, finally pick up a volume, and feel like you never left. Vampire Knight is not one of those series. I respect it for being one of the more complex and serious series that I've read.
I spent most of the volume thinking "What? I don't get it." It felt like I was reading an epic tragedy, but unfortunately I couldn't exactly figure out who was doing what or why they were doing it. Part of this was because I haven't read the series in months, but I think it was also because the series is just plain confusing. The summary of prior volumes at the beginning of the volume doesn't adequately set the stage and there's so much going on, that the happenings in the current volume are extremely confusing.
From what I could figure out, Kaname seems to be going off the deep end. Killing for no understandable reason. Allowing Sara Shirabuki to also kill indiscriminately. As much as Kaname says he wants to protect Yuki, his actions endanger her. I loved Kaname so much in the first volumes. I really don't want him to be evil. I feel like his character is very complex and we'll understand the context of his actions later. But I don't know...
I miss the humor in this series. It's never been hugely funny, but earlier volumes had a few laughs at Yuki's antics and especially at Aido's comical manner. Now, even though Aido and Yuki are both prominent players in this volume, there's nothing to laugh about. I do hate seeing Aido suffer. He's such a nice guy. And I hope Yuki gets back to being the strong character that she used to be. I feel like that will come soon. She seems to be in an emotional transition in this volume.
Part of me wants to give up on Vampire Knight, because it gets weirder and weirder, but I just have to see where it goes. Onto the next volume...

- Kaname and Yuki have a really weird relationship. I don't like it.
- I don't understand what is going on. I'm so confused.
- I don't like Kaname anymore. I don't like any of the characters really.
- Why do so many mangas start out amazing but end terribly? It seems to be a pattern for most of them.

I am getting a little weary of the current plot. I feel like it is going nowhere but it must be going somewhere. Will see till the end cause I am so invested with it for how many books I have come to consume so far.

Yuki grew fricking wings at the end! bro that’s really cool. Kaname just killed Aido’s father for some unknown reason and then he ran away with Kain and Ruka. I’m excited to see where this goes because Yuki will be in the same vicinity as Zero and I want them to become friends again. Yuki has been taken into vampire hunter custody because Kanme has gone on a killing spree(he also killed a pure blood) and she was taken by her father no less. Like what the heck bro, that’s you daughter right there. Oh yeah and the hunters let Aido go because he wasn’t useful but he wanted to stay and be a spy so getting him to leave was funny.

Good God Kaname, why do you insist on being so incomprehensible. :l I have to give props to Hino for managing to keep things interesting and shocking this far along the series though. I like the idea of Yuki's arc but it would be nice if Hino would wrap up the set up and get on with it already. 4 stars
