Honestly, the only reason I read Vampire Knight was for all the hype surrounding it, and the fact that it's got vampires. I admit, I'm a sucker for these kinds of romance cough Twilight cough.
VK was quite boring at the start though, and I thought it was your typical girl-has-2-boys-after-her situation. Yuki as a character is quite lame. No offense, but she doesn't strike me as something remarkable as a heroine. And the fact that Zero is far too angsty and emo-ish for my liking was getting on my nerves. Kaname's calculating personality appealed to me a lot better.
However, things started picking up, especially the part where they explained Zero's past with vampires (sorry, fangirls, he's still far too emo for me to like him) and this whole Rido saga hyped up my interest as well.
The latest chapters, I dunno... I was like WTF? is going on. As much as I like the recent changes
Yuki being a vampire and Zero having new powers of his own and more KY moments
there are some things that are getting far incomprehensible. Like, why did Yuki's weapon transform itself into an über scythe? And I thought it was vampire-resistant?
Hopefully, before this manga ends, Matsuri Hino would be able to tie off all the loose ends in this series. It'd be shame if VK ended in a hyper convoluted chapter with tons of open plot holes and unnecessary, unexplained plot twists as well.
