Whoa. My first post.
I picked up VK because a friend of mine raved about it and I trust her judgment. Unfortunately, she missed the mark. This is just my opinion, but here it is:
A) To me, the art is okay, not fantabulous like everyone seems to say. Their heads are all shaped like spinning "tops" -huge on the top and "ice pick" pointed chins on the bottom- and their eyes are enormous to the point of looking silly.
B) The plot seemed okay, at first, but as it progressed, it just felt a little boring to me (And I like shoujo and vampires, but this just didn't click). I started skimming pages from the first chapter and that's never a good sign.
C) I like Zero. I liked him from the start...
and that's why even though some people should have placed their spoilers in highlights, I'm still grateful that they spilled the beans. I admit, I can be a pairing brat and I'm not really interested in seeing Yuuki get with Kaname.
D) I like taboo manga a lot. I love the angst and all the things they have to endure to be together. However...
in this, I completely disagree with the incest, and the history of the parents being together, too, makes me feel a bit sick.
E) It's a very long manga. Having been a victim of InuYasha, I'm not trying to invest that kind of time into another manga, especially when it seems to be dragging on for the sole purpose of just being long. Like InuYasha...
So, because of those reasons (other reasons exist, but these are enough), I'm dropping this one very early on.
