I also LOVED the artwork, I think I enjoyed looking at Zero and Kaname more than anything, really. What intrigued me more than anything was the dynamic between Zero, Yuuki, and Kaname. Blood drinking being depicted as "erotic." Yeah, try having someone's teeth stuck in your neck.īasically, the plot didn't impress me and I wasn't exactly blown away by the dialogue. The mystery parts could've been done so much better. The story tended to get a bit melodramatic. She was such a a bit of a goody-two-shoes.
I liked it very much, BUT here it comes.some parts really ticked me off, like: VIZ rates this for older teen, probably for the violence and some of the more mature themes.Okay, so I watch plenty of anime, but this is actually the first manga I've ever read. Some of the dialogue in this volume is a little cheezy, but the art more than makes up for the silliness in the speech bubbles. There is so much detail packed into every panel that I often stopped reading to admire everything that was on a page. Hino's illustrations in this series are some of the best in the business.
There is some suicidal ideation from Zero that might require a trigger warning for readers - Zero's weapon of choice for keeping Vamps in line is a gun, and he considers turning the weapon on himself rather than transition into what he hates. This first volume was very enjoyable but definitely more for fans who want a paranormal romance in line with Twilight. There's already the groundwork for a love triangle with Yuki, Zero, and the president of the Night Class, so that will please romance fans who like their stories a bit complicated. I picked this series up for review because I have heard for years how good it is. A budding romance may derail the efforts to keep the classes separated, while Zero goes through an unwanted transformation that will completely change the dynamic of the Discipline Committee. Both Discipline Committee members have tragic backstories: Yuki was saved ten years ago from a vampire attack and adopted by the headmaster of Cross Academy, while Zero's entire family was slaughtered by vampires in front of him. These vampires are "pacifists" and agree not to feast on humans at least until they're done with their schooling. That's because the Night Class is full of vampires. All the girls have the hots for the beautiful guys of the Night Class, but Yuki and Zero know the deadly consequences of letting the two classes mingle.
When it’s time for the Night Class to go to school, they herd the rest of the Day Class to their dorms like a batch of cats in heat. Yuki and Zero are part of the Discipline Committee at their high school, Cross Academy, tasked with keeping the Night Class and the Day Class separated.
