Vampire Knight

Plot:Yuki Cross' earliest memory is of being all alone on a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by an evil "Level E" vampire and saved by a powerful but kind vampire named Kaname Kuran. Ten years later, Yuki, along with her childhood friend, Zero Kiryu are school guardians at the prestigious Cross Academy where her adopted father is the headmaster. The school is hosting an experimental program that is trying to prove that humans and vampires can live together peacefully, in a quest for coexistance.

This is my favorite manga.. title: Vampire Knight... obviously it includes vampires as the title suggests...
Vampire Knight is a shojo manga written by Matsuri Hino. What's a shojo manga? Well, it is where the main character is female.. they call it shounen manga if the lead is male. Anyway, back to the topic: why is Vampire Knight my favorite manga? What's so interesting about it? (if you want to read a summary about the manga you can search it in Wikipedia)



The first thing that attracted me to this manga are the characters:


This is Zero Kiryuu. I like him the most. He has quite a complicated past. He is from a clan of Vampire Hunters but when he was young his family was attacked by a pureblood vampire( a vampire who doesn't have even just a tiny bit of human blood mixed in her own) and he ends up bitten by her. Luckily he was able to survive. The bad news is he becomes a vampire himself. What's worse is he will gradually turn into a Level E vampire(the lowest class of vampire; one who has lost its sense of humanity)if he is not able to drink the blood of the one who bit him. (spoiler: well, he was able to drink the blood of the pureblood vampire who bit him through unexpected means... so he doesn't turn to a Level E..what a relief..XD) Zero hates vampires very much, which means he hates himself too. *sigh* :(



Kaname Kuran. He's the pureblood vampire who saved Yuki from a Level E vampire. Here's another spoiler: he is actually the brother of Yuki... which means Yuki is a pureblood vampire herself. And also, this explains why he treats Yuki differently from everybody else. If you read the manga, you'll see how protective he is of Yuki.




Yuki Cross/ Yuki Kuran... she's the main female character. She loves both Zero and Kaname but in some ways she is being made to choose one over the other.. i still don't know whom she will choose in the end(since the manga isn't finished yet) but I hope that it will be a happy ending for all of them.
