| Starts out so great...and.then... by VenusAD on October 27th, 2009, 9:46pm |

And then it just turns boring and tedious and altogether terrible.
I too loved Merupuri, but this isn't even half as good as that was. Once the first giant arc is over and the big twist happens, everything just goes completely downhill from there. And the incest angle is just...ugh. I love taboo as much as the next person, but there's something especially creepy about how it's played out in this manga. Maybe because NO ONE seems to point it out. They act like it's just common place.
I just feel like it's being dragged out for no particular reason. We all know Yuki is going to end up with Zero at some point because he's just the main guy. So if we could get on with that, that would just be loooovely.

| good so far by PoshSam on September 25th, 2009, 6:29am |

| i've read a lot of volumes for this series and am not sure where i had stopped at, ok, the story gets complicated and it's hard to picture the ending result because the characters emotions are like teenage hormones, i want this and then i want that but now i want this...i've been rooting for yuuki and zero for flipping ages!! and am still waiting *sigh* to hear about a final happy ending because they are literally one of the best couples and manga characters there are in the manga world...kaname really needs to die or something |

| It was good... by baybh3e on September 24th, 2009, 10:51pm |

When I first got into this, I went crazy. I was so amazed with the artwork and I really liked the story line. But now it's starting to lose it's touch. It's not funny anymore like it used to be and I can see that it's because things are getting more serious now, but it' s not really a mood lifter like before. Plus the wait is so long, and I get so excited that I finish the new chapter in the blink of an eye T.T.
Nonetheless, I'm going to continue reading this just in case because I really want to know what happens. I just hope that it doesn't become a tragic love story... |

| The art's really good, maybe the best by littleprince on September 18th, 2009, 2:11pm |

It's a manga after all, and I don't really expect a manga to have a plot as interesting as a novel does, so I think the plot is good enough. The only problem being too much drama and no comic relief.
Anyway, the art is so gorgeous that even if there was no plot at all it would be worth reading just for that.
The popularity lists? Actually I don't really get them either. There's manga listed at the top of those lists that I would rate 4 at the most. I guess when something gets popular, more people read it out of curiosity.
Spoiler (highlight to view) As for the incest, Kaname looks more like an older cousin than a brother, so it doesn't really bother me.

I've read a whole lot of negative comments about Vampire Knight, and I just can't help but agree with them.
After reading a whole lot of shoujo titles (85% of what I read are shoujo), VK has started to lose its initial grasp on me.
The story is getting rather complicated; I'm not even certain on where it's going anymore.
And then there's the relationship between Yuki, Kaname and Zero. It is well played, but it lacks a certain...something.
Bishies alone can't keep a reader's heart for long, and this is the case for VK.
I'm still reading it, but just not following it as avid as before. There are better vampire genre manga out there, but I'm just keeping this for old time's sake.

| TOTALLY LOVE IT by SweetRiceCakes on August 13th, 2009, 5:52pm |

Yeah not only does it have HOT boys but its very full of drama~!!! Sexy, dark, lustful everything I love about a good shoujo manga <3
I guess those who bash it should just stick to reading a boring old romance book T_T
So if your looking for a good long series to read I would totally reconmend this lovely drawn manga!

Okay, I started reading this manga because about ten different people recommended it to me, and because it's one of the top shoujo manga on pretty much every popularity list I've ever read.
Apparently, popularity doesn't count for much anymore.
I got to chapter forty-three, and just couldn't keep reading. It was alright at first, but it's just been a downward spiral since. Even the bishies can't keep me into it any more.
Yes, the art is pretty good. Yes, the plot is pretty original. Yes, it isn't just another love triangle. And yes, it does have uber-sexy, we-don't-drink-blood vampire-bishies.
But the plot drags, and there's no comic relief - it's all drama. The main character is annoying, perfect, and a major Mary-Sue (and the other characters aren't so very flawed either), and all three of the major characters (Yuki, Kaname, Zero) have traumatic pasts they just can't seem to let go of, which is boring and annoying to no end.(Um, did anyone else just think 'Twilight'? Sorry, I had to say it.)
I totally agree with all the points Synthoxide and Aristocrat have made. If you're looking for something truly entertaining, with great characters and a killer plot, this manga almost definitely isn't for you. ...But if you just want to look at cute bishies and don't particularly care what they're doing or how annoying they are, go ahead and read.
I, personally, am going to have to drop this, and go look for something with a little more depth, or at least something I can laugh at.

| Disappointing by psycho.sprite on August 10th, 2009, 3:20am |

Vampire Knight is one of those endlessly long stories that are gettting more and more boring and clichéd by the time.
I loved Hino Matsuri's Merupuri. It was a cute, fantastic story full of cliffhangers that always kept me in suspense. When I started reading Vampire Knight, I expected an intriguing, authentic, dark and even more suspenseful manga, but what I have got is somewhat disappointing.
The two main vampires, Zero and Kaname were pretty interesting in the beginning, but after a while, Zero's neverending self-pity and cold attitude and Kaname's predictable reactions and typical vampire behavior started getting me on my nerves. As for Yuki, she is an ordinary, powerless girl you can find in the most shoujo mangas. She has been simply annoying and dull from the start.
Although the concept of the story sounds promising, it is at least as tedious as the characters. The twist are boring, plus there are a host of mulling and pondering in the story that always make me want to jump to the next chapter. I guess Hino Matsuri herself is extremely bored with her "masterpiece".
All in all, the whole manga is a great disappointment. The drawing style is amazing as expected from the mangaka, but the story and the characters have got no potential. I give it a three because of the eye candy and the good start, and try to avoid everything VK-related in the future.
