I am in constant awe with the fabulousness of this series. Vampire Knight 6 does NOT disappoint and it’s evident that Matsuri Hino has a gift as a storyteller and artist. She does a flawless job of infusing back-story at just the right time to hook you even further into her series. If you’ve never tried a manga series before, Vampire Knight is definitely the way to go.
In this installment, Kaname asks Yuki a question that could change her existence and possibly cause her to lose Zero forever. Then, the night students leave the academy for the holidays and Kaname’s back-story is revealed. More light is shed on Shizuka Hio’s lover making it known that the person that contracted Zero’s family to kill Shizuka’s love is the true enemy.
I have four more to go, and I’m already certain I don’t think I’ll be able to find another manga series as good as this one. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. :)

Ich komme langsam wieder in Stimmung und Geschichte rein. Ich liebe einfach auch die Nebencharaktere aus der Night Class. Bin gespannt auf den nächsten Band!
Update 2025: Die Geschichte hat mich immer noch. Es bleibt spannend und Zero wird für mich immer und immer mehr zum Lieblingscharakter!

Vampire Knight Volume 6 amps up the action and brings Yuki to a fancy vampire party. More drama and back story is released into the open, and it's only getting better. I'm truly intrigued by how this is going to go and how Yuki's relationships with Zero and Kaname are going to change. Especially with Kaname asking Yuki a very important, life or death question. And the one who killed Shizuki's love is Zero's true enemy.
The romance and swoon-worthy-ness of this manga is ramping up! I'm pumped to see how this goes in future volumes....
I love this story telling and pictures in these mangas. Matsuri Hino is very talented! I'm super impressed!

I am kind of hating myself for becoming ridiculously addicted to this silly love-triangle drama. As the story progresses, the volumes are getting intensely dramatic which is making it harder to resist this series. Vampire Knight, Vol. 6 completely sucked me in with the rising tension between Yuki and Zero. And if that wasn't intense enough, the steamy scene with Yuki and Kaname sealed the deal. Sigh. I am such a big sucker. Sucker. Sucker. Sucker.
You know a book has you hooked when you start carrying on an inner dialogue in your head with the characters. I kept screaming at Yuki, "NO! Don't choose him! Choose him!" Sigh. Sucker. This has become such a guilty pleasure read.
The crazy ending makes me wish I had the next volume at hand. Who is this Senri, but most importantly who the heck is his father? Damn it. I am officially hooked with this series and must get the next few volumes.

Este volumen me dejó llena de preguntas.

Reread. I'm reading v. 6 through 8 a second time because it has been close to a year since I read them, and in the first few pages of v. 9 I realized I didn't remember anything that was going on except the big event/reveal from v. 8 or so.
My rating hasn't changed after going through this volume again. Much of what I forgot involves a number of the coterie of vampires surrounding Kaname. Hino seems to have a vivid idea of these characters, but so far that hasn't been conveyed strongly enough in the story that they make much of an impression on me beyond their character designs. That leads to my lack of interest in--and, it seems, memory loss regarding--the parts of the story that focus on them. At least a couple of plot threads having to do with add to the confusion.
The art's still gorgeous, though! With titles like this and Snow White with the Red Hair I really wonder how the mangaka manages to create such beautiful, elaborate art on what has to be a grueling schedule.

I mean, I know that we all love Zero and everything, but is it possible to love him MORE even when a volume hardly focuses on him? IS IT POSSIBLE?!
Volume 6 definitely shifts its attention back to Yuki, exploring more of her backstory and examining a little bit more into her psyche. Additionally, we get to play more in the minds of the secondary characters, namely the Vamps like Aido and Ichijo and Senri AND IT'S AWESOME! Unlike the previous volume, Zero does feel regulated to more of a secondary character, and even though the focus isn't on him he still dominates every panel he's on. (Then again, that could be because I fangirl so hard over him.)
Like Volume 4, there is a LOT going on. We've got holiday travel and some sneaky background characters and a monster and Yuki's past and a love reveal and SO MUCH. While I won't lie and say that the flip-flopping between storylines sometimes can get a bit jarring, once your brain gets into the story you get used to it fairly quickly.
Lastly, I mean, guys. LOOK AT THAT COVER!
Seriously, that thing is a work of friggin' beauty!
I don't know what it is specifically about Matsuri Hino, but dear GOD I love that woman's art style. Just...damn!

While trying to expand my horizons with other manga series from the library, this latest volume came to my mailbox. I was only going to read the first couple of pages...I ended up reading half the volume in one sitting. This series is an example of why I love manga - when it's good, it's good. Not only is the artwork superb (probably the best of any series I've read as of yet), but the characters are engaging and the plot continues to thicken.
I've seen Vampire Knight compared to Twilight, but in my mind there is no real comparison beyond having a love triangle involving vampires. However, for those who do like Twilight, you might just want to give this manga series a try. I know I am always trying to get people to read manga, but since I enjoy this format of storytelling so much, I can't help but try to share it with my friends. :) (reader beware, though, there are no "veggie" vampires in this series, thank goodness! finally we have vampires who behave as vampires.)

I feel like I can't stop reading this. I started to wonder what I'll do then I'll finally catch up with it and will have to wait for a new volume every month..
The story picked up a lot in this one. I was happy to see some of the other Night Class characters and a little bit more info on Kaname's past. And it's great that Yuki's trying to discover her past, I'm quite curious to know what's happened there all those years ago.
This volume and the one before it was quite intense on the Zero/Yuki front which I loved. I think Zero needs to feed more from her -for his sake not for the fangirl in me believe me ;D
Plot's getting more excited, characters keep appearing and making me curious..What more can I ask? Oh wait, I'll ask -pretty please- for Yuki to end up with Zero, thankyouverymuch Matsuri Hino! ;D

En oikein tiedä onko minulla mitään uutta sanottavaa tästä sarjasta kuin samat ongelmakohdat kuin aikaisemminkin. Kuvat ovat edelleen tosi sekavia, ja henkilöhahmot muistuttavat kaikki toisiaan. Kirjoitettu teksti on välillä niin pientä, että pitäisi olla silmälasit, jotta sitä pystyy lukemaan eikä minulla ole edes paskin näkö. Tarina on ihan ok ja sen takia edes vielä harkitsen sarjan lukemisen jatkamista, vaikka onkin aika hidastempoinen. Nyt tuntui myös vähän sekavalta sekin.

Spoilers ahead!!!
This is for the whole serie so far...
I really liked this manga at the beginning. It's about vampires and vampire hunters. I really like the different vampires and their society, which is better explained in the official Fanbook. The vampire hunters are interesting as well. The art is beautiful.
The story revolves around a girl Yuki, who is raised by an ex vampire hunter, who is the administrator of a school that have both human teenagers during the day, and young vampires at night. Cross has also taken under his roof another kid, Zero, the sole survivor of a massacre of a vampire hunter family, killed by a powerful vampire. They both act as guardians in the school to protect both the teenagers and the vampires. Zero, who saw his family massacred by a vampire, is obviously not happy about this, and would rather use his vampire hunter skills to kill the vampires instead. The leader of the vampires is Kaname, a pureblood, which very powerful in their kind and also very rare. Kaname found Yuki when she was a child and was chased by a vampire, he killed said vampire and took her to Cross. Yuki has no memory before that. So the story happens at school for the most part, or I should say for the first part.
Both Zero and Kaname have their eyes on Yuki and well, Yuki has her eyes on both, who can blame her? Both are handsome. I personally prefer Zero, I have a thing for tormented character. There are a few twists in the manga I did not see coming, the one about Zero being a vampire, and the other about Yuki being a vampire too. It changed the dynamics of some relationships, especially between Zero and Yuki. Zero who already hates what he is and he's angry at himself because of what it makes him do, doesn't take well the news about Yuki... at all. Who can blame Yuki who then throws herself in Kaname's arms? No matter how much I prefer Zero, how far can a relationship go if one is that hateful? So they separate and Zero stays while Kaname and Yuki go away.
That is the first part.
In the second part is the part where I started to seriously dislike Kaname. In the first part Yuki is an active girl, full of life, responsible and independent. I had noticed moments when Kaname was treating her like a child, which is something Zero has never done, and even Yuki told him about that and told him to stop. So I was really disappointed to see that kaname had treated Yuki for a whole year, while they were living together, like an infantile child and forbid her to go out. It's really sad to see her character regress like that. All her pep is gone. When the serie starts Yuki is 16, so a year later she's 17. It's a way too late to treat someone like a baby.
The manga started turning for the worse from the second part and ended really badly. The author completely ignored all the characters and focused on Kaname and Yuki. Also, the art went from good to bad as well, making it looks bad, and the characters all look the same, making it hard to differenciate them. The ending was bad and confusing. It's sad to see that the manga had so much potential but it went AWOL after Yuki leaves with Kaname at the end of the first part.
I don't plan to finish getting the manga volumes, I'll keep the good part of the manga and ignore the rest.

Really liked it! I don't really remember much since I read some in school and a while before...Anyways, I liked it when the book sets on fire when Yuuki tried to find out about the previous 10 years and how she starts to hallucinate if she tries to dig into her memories. I have a feeling it's Kaname that's done this. I don't know. And the part of Shiki and his mother and about his father, I'm pretty sure that isn't a flashback now that I think of it...I don't know. Oh well! I'll just have to keep on reading!

What was that ending??
Completely unexpected.
I have to admit that I have trouble keeping the characters from the night class separate, so I like that it seems they will be playing a bigger part in this opera of a story. Aidou, Shiki, and Ichijo are beginning to stand out a bit. We're also getting more information on the way the vampire clans interact. But so much is unclear. I really hope that all the pieces will come together by the end of the saga.

Yuki's visions of the blood etc made things slightly creepy and more interesting. As always, the banter involving Aido or Ichijo and Kaname is always hilarious. And also I always love the rare moments when we see intimate scenes between Kaname and Yuki! Ahh!
I also liked the insight into Aido's past with Kaname. And once again, the artwork is beautiful! I love the drawings of Aido and Kaname as kids they're so adorable! And I am totally in love with the characters' eyes!

It puzzles me a bit why Yuki isn't closer with her adoptive father. He's raised Yuki for 10 years, since she was 6 and he's very kind and adores Yuki; but she often gives him the brush off. She doesn't remember her parents because her memories were erased, so it's not like she is in the mindset of comparing Cross to her parents and him coming up short.

This was a very good volume in this series. It is getting darker and more intriguing. Everyone has a secret. What is Yuki's secret? What happened in the archives? And what of Kaname's parents?
Most manga I tend to read quickly, but not this one. I read and savor every single sentence. Matsuri Hino is a very good mangaka.

Enjoyed seeing Yuki, Zero, and Kaname again. Story is starting to get very interesting. Wonder who Yuki's real parents are. Also interesting that the Headmaster used to be a vampire hunter.
Can't wait to read Vampire Knight volume 7!!!!!

So I'm binge-ing this series in case you were wondering
It's getting better and better, and I've finally reached the point where I don't remember so much of the anime (for some reason I don't remember almost anything of the ending except THAT thing)

Maybe I just don't know how to read manga anymore but I felt like this jumped around a lot. I was confused for most of this volume. Too many random people for me. Maybe they're not random. I don't know anymore. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Kaname'den zaten nefret ediyordum ama bu cilt nefretimi daha da arttırdı. Zero'yu sonsuza dek Yuuki'nin hayatından çıkarmak için her şeyi yapıyor, altından ne çıkacak cidden merak ediyorum. Umarım Zero'yu harcamazlar, tamamıyla Team Zero'yum şu an çünkü.
Bu ciltte tatil dolayısıyla bütün vampirler evlerine döndüler ve Kaname'nin ailesi hakkında bazı olaylar öğrendik. Umarım son cilde kadar beklemeyiz detaylar için.
Aido'nun tatlılığından bahsetmedim olmaz. Çıldırıyorum, Kaname ile ilk tanışmalarına bayıldım gerçekten. Şu an Kaname'den nefret ediyor olsam da Aido için katlanabilirim.
Yuuki'nin geçmişini bir türlü açığa çıkmıyor umarım onu da bir an önce açığa çıkarırlar.
Son olarak bu cilt Senri adında yeni bir karakter katıldı hikayeye. Hikayede nasıl bir yerinin olacağını gerçekten merak ediyorum çünkü cildin sonu gerçekten çok şaşırtıcıydı.
