This series is one of the best written and best drawn mangas ever in my opinion. The plot is complex and engaging, full of twists and turns and mystery. The way Ms. Hino draws the characters and shows us their feelings, their lives and their relationships is simply incredible!

Contrary to what has been said in another review, this series is *not* complete yet in any country. It is significantly farther along in publication in Japan, China and Korea I think, but the series is still being published, a chapter a month, in LaLa magazine in Japan. Chapter 35 was the latest chapter and came out about two weeks ago. Kaname and the other major characters are still all very much alive, no one has died at this point. (I sincerely hope none of them will, but that's beside the point right now).

This is a truly wonderful series, and whether or not you like vampires, or even whether or not you like manga, I promise you'll love these books, they do not disappoint!

Another great volume from Matsuri Hino!

If you're like me and have problems reading some series because of the artwork, you won't be disappointed with this. Hino's art is beautiful and delicately drawn and she has a style that will appeal to many shoujo fans. The only problem I had was I sometimes couldn't tell Zero from Ichijo (think that's who it was...).

As usual, each volume builds on the last one with more secrets revealed and a lot of strong character development, especially for the men in the series.

My favorite thing about this series is that it's not totally obvious who Yuki will choose in the end. There's Zero, the one who always rejects her but seems to need her most, or Kaname, the mysterious person who's always looking out for her. Personally, I'm rooting for Kaname, but I think it's starting to tilt toward Zero/Yuki. To each his own, though :)

I hope you'll read this! Especially if you've read Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and are hungry for more vampire drama...

In the third volume Matsuri takes a moment to show readers to softer side of Kaname Kuran, the pure blood Vampire who saved Yuki from a Vampire who had gone mad, lusting for blood. We get to see their friendship grow and how Yuki too has changed.

Matsuri also introduces into the story a mysterious girl, who decides to go to the school after finally finding Zero. Her soft exterior gets Yuki to trust her, and even through herself in the line of fire.

I really LOVED this volume and cannot wait to read the next one. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good Vampire series with delicious art, and story line.

I love vol. 3 of Vampire Knight. My favorite part was that Maria Kurenai transferred to Cross Academy, the flashbacks from 10 years ago by Yuki and Kaname, where he saved Yuki from a vicious vampire who went berserk, Kaien adopts her, Yuki lost her memories when she was little, Kaien saved Zero 4 years ago, his family was attacked by a vampire who went berserk and killed his parents (which is pretty sad). This is the best volume of the manga series ever!

If you love the whole vampire scene. If you love Twilight just go ahead and buy the whole series. It is so worth it and you can also watch the anime online at [...] You will love it!!!

Another great volume in this series. It just keeps getting better and better! :D

This one is particularly good for the flashbacks showing us more of Yuuki and Kaname's past when she was little.

I love these books, I first discovered the story in Shojo Beat magazine. Right now I only have the first five books but I plan to order them all as they come out.

This is one (if not the only) very well-done shoujo vampire story. It's got love triangles and many plot twists. And it is true that the story is not done yet. Matsuri Hino is still writing/drawing it. Chapter 40 was the latest chapter in LALA magazine in Japan. And as one person before me said, everyone is ALIVE. Anyway, this manga is awesome. Especially for vampire fanatics (like me) who love bite scenes. XD

This is the first manga I have ever read and I adore it! The story is awsome, the characters are cool and I LOVE the artwork. It's pretty much opened up the door for me when it comes to manga, as I am very interested in reading more of it!

Matsuri Hino did a really great job with it! Violence, (sex, drug [not exactly]), humor, and friendship/love all in one series and not to mention a bunch of beautiful vampires...it is definitely exceptional!
