I do not do reviews on the products that I buy but, I decided to do this one. Vk official fan book is an really good book. It gives characters bios,it shows some storyboards that were done by mangaka. It also an in interview with her as well. It has some colorful artworks and sketches. I recommend this book to any vampire knight fan or anime fan.

Someone buying this is hopefully already a fan of Vampire Knight. I expect the material in here can please just about any fan of the series. You get extra information about the characters that wouldn't really have a chance to come up during the series, like in-depth explanations about living quarters, hobbies, personal tastes, and the main cast's opinions of each other (some may surprise you). There is also more information about Cross Academy, the vampire world, and the hunter society. For fans, it should prove to be a very enjoyable addition to their library.

The only thing I was a little bummed out about is that when Matsuri Hino was talking about its contents in a manga sidebar, she said it would contain bonus manga, and it doesn't, to any significant quantity (I'm not counting room schematics or one or two panels).

Still, highly recommended.

I recently bought the fan book. I looked at it so much the color pictures are beginning to come out. I'm ordering another copy. I've got my niece and her cousin hooked on the manga. I hope there is going to be another fan book. I hope in a second fan book they have the rooms of the rest of the Night Class students (like Seiren,Rima Toya, & Ruka Souen to name a few.)I loved the character profiles, the colored pictures, the interviews with the voice cast,etc.
