I honestly didn't think I'd continue this series, since I didn't feel much towards the first two installments. But somehow I ended up reading the third one as well... And it did come out with the same star rating as the first two.. There are some stories I liked more than others - I wish all of them would focus on Yuuki and Zero OR Ai as she is a very interesting character to me. I didn't need the stories about Yuuki's adoptive father, though. And I also don't care much about reading about Kaname - maybe an unpopular opinion but I never really cared for him...
So, maybe a sign to definitely dnf this series?

J’aime tellement cette série, mais j’avais l’impression de relire le tome 2, ça commence à tourner en rond et les dialogues reviennent toujours à la même chose... J’ai hâte de lire le 4e pour voir di ça évolue enfin!

Mon avis en Français
My English review
It was a real pleasure to see the characters of the Vampire Knight series again. It’s a manga and show that I really liked and it was a pleasure to dive back into the universe and to discover a little more.
We discover several short stories featuring Yuki’s adopted father, always as funny, even if it was also very touching, but we also see Yuki and Zero who are in a relationship, or even the children she had with Kaname. I really thought the whole thing was very nice.
I think it’s a release that will delight the fans of the series!

FAVORITE QUOTES:
《Everything was taken from him.
He dedicated his life to vengeance.
A dark light shined in his eyes.
Since Ai was born, he's started smiling more and more...
Heartfelt smiles.
May...
...these loving times stay with him...
...forever.
That was my true wish...
...as the decades passed.》, p. 6-8
《My dear friend left me...
...beautifully...
...withering away.
[...]
I watched over my honorable friend...
...throughout her life and realized...
...how foolish it was in my infinite lifetime to spoil myself...
...with mere wishes.》, p. 9
《- Thank you...
...for supporting me all this time...
...and telling me you love me the way I am.
Thank you...
...Zero.
- I'd say the exact same to you.》, p. 10-11
《-"You must live an inconspicuous life."
"If you don't want to do that, you must find yourself a rich aristocrat to marry and live a life of seclusion in a manor house deep in the mountains."
That's what my father told me.
Hey, Shiki would you marry me?
- Sure.
- You're a happy-go-lucky guy, aren't you...
- Huh? What's wrong?
It means you'll continue to be my close friend...
...so what's wrong with a quick response?
- You haven't changed at all since back then.
- When?
- That time I went to the agency seminar without telling my parents. You suddenly appeared and...
...said that to me.
I want her.
She's my kind.
[...]
- Come to think of it, that may have been the only time...
...I chose something for myself.
[...]
- I probably was...
...attracted to that strong will of yours, Rima.
Why didn't you pull away when I grabbed your hand back then?
[...]
- Even when there's no one left to remember me...
...the boy who held my hand...
...surely will.
It's nice to have a partner whose hand you can hold...
...to run with.》, p. 17-23
《- We want to spend more time together openly.
We're making the rounds to ask if anyone objects.
- Huh?
I don't have an objection.
- I'm happy for you.
- If I did object, what would you do?
- What?
- ...
Just kidding!
You came to visit the king of the vampires in the basement, right?
- *Phoo*》, p. 24
《- Excuse me.
Young man?
When I was a child...
...I was saved from a kidnapper by a man who looked just like you.
I was younger than my grandchild here...
I'd always wanted to thank him.
If you happen to be a family member, I was wondering if you knew.
I was called Mii. My grandmother came in search of me.
Did you hear about it?
- No...
I'm sorry I can't be of any help.
- Mii...?
- I thought she would forget...
[...]
- It's sad that everyone passes away and leaves us...
...but I'm glad that girl has been having a happy life.》, p. 27-29
《- We've finished threat-- I mean, making courtesy calls to most people.
Many weren't happy to hear it. I'm sorry...》, p. 31
《- She said she absolutely doesn't want her mind to age.
- An... An aging mind...
Yes, I feel it...
- I'll age with you.》, p. 32-33
《- ...
To be honest, I don't understand the whole "from scratch" thing.
- I think it's about spending time together and getting to know each other better.
Fresh!
- Hm.
- Like holding hands and such.
Fresh, heart-pounding...
- We were holding hands just now.
- FRESH!
Eating together. Walking to and from school together --
- We did that every day back at Cross Academy.
What's with that expression?
We could do it again...
- Right.
There's...
...nothing fresh about us.
- There are many things I don't yet know about you.
I'll ask you about them some other time...》, p. 33-34
《- I thought that bracelet lost its power along with the ancestor metal.
Aren't you going to take it off?
- ...
No.
This is a promise I made...
...because I didn't want you to be killed.
Back then...
...it was the only thing the powerless me...
...could do.
I couldn't allow your future to be ruined because of something like that.
You were truly a kind-hearted partner.
I wished...
...that a time would come when you could smile peacefully.》, p. 35-36
《- I want to devour your blood without holding back.
- Yes...
Devour me...
...up to the last drop of my blood.》, p. 41-42
《- HOW WONDERFUL!
IT'S NONE OTHER THAN THE IMMORTAL AND INVINCIBLE KAIEN CROSS!
THE SOCIETY'S LEGENDARY WEAPON WHO KILLED TEN THOUSAND VAMPIRES!!
- Ten...
Ten thousand?
I-I-I-I've never gone on a killing spree like that...
The current society president is worse, you know?
[...]
- Why do you only do hunter work every now and then these days?!
You're still young, aren't you?!
- H-H-How time has changed.
This is the first I've met someone in the Hunter Society who talks more than I do.》, p. 52-53
《- Father...
- It's all right.
Not yet...》, p. 57
《- Kaien Cross... you again.
Is this the hundredth time?
- It's such a pity...
...I failed to kill you again tonight, Isaya Shoto.
I was chosen as president because of my overwhelming achievements, but there were many in the society who were disgusted by my immortality.
To annoy my colleagues and to soothe my ire, I kept picking a fight against one of the oldest purebloods.
I was reckless enough to break the terms of the treaty.
- It's good you came.
I will be entering a long period of sleep starting tomorrow.
I was planning a small banquet, but it's rather lonely because those attending are only my servant and I.
Join us.
[...]
- After fighting him a hundred times, I knew him well.
Human or vampire has no significance... it's a person's character that matters.》, p. 59-60
《- It must be uncomfortable hearing others call you a fangless vampire...
...when that trait is due to the hunter bloodline.
- If you vampires would improve your image by becoming law-abiding, ethical creatures...
...I wouldn't mind the moniker.
- And if we can't, we might as well turn to dust, huh...
A scary thought. I'll need to find someone to teach us human ethics.》, p. 60
《- Photographs are a nice thing. A clipping of your happy times with those who are...

Don't tell Haruka about this. Thanks.》, p. 64-65
《I came in contact with Isaya.
I came in contact with Juri.
How could it not change me?
That's right...
They gave me a reason.
A reason to start thinking.》, p. 65
《And for a moment...
I witnessed something I had been avoiding seeing.
The vampire monarchs...
...feared by all...
...huddled together like two wet birds in the rain.》, p. 68-69
《- What do you want with my wife?
- Nothing whatsoever.
- That can't be possible.
My wife is so darling and attractive.
(What an odd guy.)》, p. 70
《- Headmaster Cross...
At a time like this, why does he think he needs to act silly to relieve us of our worries...?

《There have been some sad results...
...but...
...I was able to...
...sow some good seeds.》, p. 80

I have no memories of what happened, yet those stories feel somehow nostalgic...》, p. 91

Are you slacking off?

I've finally the time to have you all to myself...
...so how could I be doing anything else?》, p. 102
《- Heavily armed, highly durable biological weapons...
...who base their actions on their emotions. They make mistakes.
[...]
- How you go about it is one thing...
...but in the end, power relies on the nature of the person who wields it.
[...]
- Just so you know, I've never been scared of the vampire in you, Hanabusa.
Even when you pierced me with your fangs...
...you did it with such gentleness...
- That's because it was you...
...Sayori.
It was your light that nurtured...
...the goodness in me.》 , p. 104-107
《- An escaped convict I captured alive.
You've received special permission to use him for your experiment.
- Oh, right...
Sorry, Kiryu.
Muraki, a member of the research team, stepped forward to become a test subject instead.
And...
...it failed.
- Just write a little note that you don't need this delivery anymore and sign your name.
- Huh?
Oh, sure.
- Bye.
- Ah!
Wait...
Sorry for all the trouble I seem to have caused you!
- Because I have blood on me?
Things like this happen all the time. Don't worry about it.
Bye.
- Huh?
HOLD IT!!!
- What is it now?
You said it failed...
Did he die?
- No. The pain in Muraki's joints healed...
- Joint pain, huh.》, p. 109-110
《- YOU GET COVERED IN BLOOD ALL THE TIME?! WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DANGEROUS VILLA[I]NS ALL OF A SUDDEN?!

We capture them alive to make them stand trial.
That's the law.
Of course they fight back...

You have to take care of yourself, okay...?

No matter what you do, your life will end before Yuki's, you know?
You need to stay at her side for as long as possible.》, p. 110-112
《- You two are thinking about making it official, right?
- Well... that may happen one day.
But whether we do or not, I've a feeling our relationship won't change.
- Yes...
That happens when you've known each other for a long time...
[...]
- Yes...
He's already...
...my family...
...and an irreplaceable friend.
Being with him is so natural, and no one can ever change that...》, p. 116-117
《- Akatsuki!
- I'm fine, Ruka.
- You're an idiot!
Why did you protect me?
You could have died!
- Ah...
Of course I'd protect you.
I'm glad you don't have a single speck of soot on you.
Hey, you'll get blood--
- Promise me!
Promise me right now that you'll become my husband.
And when you die, you will die as my husband!
- I promise.》, p. 120-122
《- Look!
Blue sea.
Blue sky.
And a gazebo on a green hill!
I WANT TO GET MARRIED HERE!
- All right.
- A soft, silky veil fluttering against a shimmering blue and green background...
The bell's chime echoing on the horizon...
...and seagulls flying in the air...!
I finally will be able to use the organdy my grandmother gave me ages ago.
- This article is really old...
Have you wanted a wedding for that long?
- N-NO, I JUST ADMIRED IT, THAT'S ALL!!
IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE IMAGINED GETTING MARRIED TO YOU OR ANYTHING!
I'm glad...
...it's...
...with you that my dream...
...came true.

I can't wait to see how beautiful you will be surrounded by the blue sea and sky...

- Why not?》, p. 144-148
《- Akatsuki...
You have been...

...till dust do us part.》, p. 152
《- We need to talk.
You said we were going to start over...
- Huh?
- Don't "huh" me.
You haven't told me everything, have you?
I knew something was bothering you, so I've been waiting for you to tell me all this time.
The wedding reminded you of it.
TELL ME!
WHAT IS IT?!
- ...
- Just say it.
SAY IT...!
- I want you to live for a long time.
I want you to keep living as long as you can, Zero.
Every time I see a friend off...
...I am reminded of it...
...but how could I say that to you?
My wish...
...may be nothing but a curse to you...
I'm scared that the day will come...
...when you will turn to dust and disappear.
- You're the one who's agonizing over your own curse, Yuki.
So just curse me.
Curse me with the blood flowing inside you that rejects death.
Give me that cursed blood of yours...
...to prolong that day for eternity.
If I could make your wish come true...
...I would, Yuki.
- ...
Zero...
- And when that final moment arrives...
...I am going to declare to you that I had...
...an unbelievably happy life.
- Then...

Damn it...
Why is this blood...
...so unbearably good?》, p. 154-161
《- There was a political marriage arranged for me at one point...
...but it was canceled before my prospective fiancée got to know me. The person who had planned it was forced to take his exit...
- ...
Ichio, huh.
I never knew that.
[...]
- Oh please, don't let it worry you.
As a result she found someone much better than me and is living happily...
...so I'm happy for her.
[...]
- From my heart.
I am satisfied.
[...]

I wouldn't let anyone else do it.

《People may pity my obsession...
...believing it's the result of having one's soul devoured by a pureblood.

...comforts me.》, p. 182
《- Wait... I can't comprehend what you're saying. Mother, help me...
- He's thinking about earning money through labor.
It's normal....
- Yes. I should work just like the people at that market.
- Why?!

We can't make a living unless I work.
I'm healthy and I have time on my hands.
- YOU HAVE SO MUCH WEALTH THAT YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SPEND IT! YOU HAVE AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF YEARLY INCOME TOO. JUST FIND YOURSELF A HOBBY!
- I see. I can't imagine the unscrupulous deeds I must have done to earn so much...》, p. 184
《- I wish to learn many stories from all kinds of people with different views.
I want to gather the fragments of their histories...
...and, in my own way, think about what happened during the time I was asleep.
I think it would help close the gap in time between me and her...
What kind of person was I?
What was she to me?
Did I love her?
There's no doubt of that. I need only to look at the children to know.》, p. 185

...but in the end, power relies on the nature of the person who wields it.
[...]
- Just so you know, I've never been scared of the vampire in you, Hanabusa.
Even when you pierced me with your fangs...

- Just write a little note that you don't need this delivery anymore and sign your name.
- Huh?
Oh, sure.
- Bye.
- Ah!
Wait...
Sorry for all the trouble I seem to have caused you!
- Because I have blood on me?
Things like this happen all the time. Don't worry about it.
Bye.

You said it failed...

- Joint pain, huh.》, p. 109-110
《- YOU GET COVERED IN BLOOD ALL THE TIME?! WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DANGEROUS VILLA[I]NS ALL OF A SUDDEN?!

We capture them alive to make them stand trial.
That's the law.
Of course they fight back...

No matter what you do, your life will end before Yuki's, you know?

But whether we do or not, I've a feeling our relationship won't change.

And when you die, you will die as my husband!
- I promise.》, p. 120-122

Blue sea.
Blue sky.

I WANT TO GET MARRIED HERE!

The bell's chime echoing on the horizon...
...and seagulls flying in the air...!
I finally will be able to use the organdy my grandmother gave me ages ago.
- This article is really old...
Have you wanted a wedding for that long?
- N-NO, I JUST ADMIRED IT, THAT'S ALL!!
IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE IMAGINED GETTING MARRIED TO YOU OR ANYTHING!
I'm glad...
...it's...
...with you that my dream...
...came true.
- Me too.
I can't wait to see how beautiful you will be surrounded by the blue sea and sky...
...smiling as the bell chimes on that green hill.

- Why not?》, p. 144-148
《- Akatsuki...
You have been...

I vow to you before everyone here that I too shall be your support, your guide and your source of warmth from now on...
...till dust do us part.》, p. 152
《- We need to talk.
You said we were going to start over...
- Huh?
- Don't "huh" me.
You haven't told me everything, have you?
I knew something was bothering you, so I've been waiting for you to tell me all this time.
The wedding reminded you of it.
TELL ME!
WHAT IS IT?!
- ...
- Just say it.
SAY IT...!
- I want you to live for a long time.
I want you to keep living as long as you can, Zero.
Every time I see a friend off...
...I am reminded of it...
...but how could I say that to you?
My wish...
...may be nothing but a curse to you...
I'm scared that the day will come...
...when you will turn to dust and disappear.
- You're the one who's agonizing over your own curse, Yuki.
So just curse me.
Curse me with the blood flowing inside you that rejects death.
Give me that cursed blood of yours...
...to prolong that day for eternity.
If I could make your wish come true...
...I would, Yuki.

Zero...

Ichio, huh.
I never knew that.
[...]

As a result she found someone much better than me and is living happily...

It's normal....
- Yes. I should work just like the people at that market.

We can't make a living unless I work.
I'm healthy and I have time on my hands.

Did I love her?

Adoro Vampire Knight y adoro Vampire Knight Memories 😻
Aunque empieza en el tomo uno un poco lioso, conforme van pasando los tomos se ve que los saltos temporales ya no son tan aleatorios y siguen la historia de los personajes, porque sí, en cada tomo se van centrando más en algunos personajes que otros mientras cuentan lo que pasó con los vampiros durante los mil años que Kaname está dormido.
Vampire Knight es uno de los mangas de mi adolescencia, por no decir que fue el primer manga que me compré, así que le tengo un recuerdo muy especial y este nuevo manga me está encantando 😻
Lo recomiendo mucho!! 💕
Advertencia: si lees algo de Matsuri Hino puedes acabar adictx a su dibujo 🤭

The illustrations are beautiful as always, but this is one of the weakest entries in the Vampire Knight series, in my opinion. The stories and dialogue both felt choppy and confusing (maybe a translation issue?), and the reading experience suffered for it. It was disappointing because Vampire Knight is such a guilty pleasure of mine, and I was really looking forward to reading this.
Oh well, I'll still get the next issue when it comes out.

Un bon tome, qui (comme l'auteur l'a expliqué) est une introduction pour le tome 4. J'espère donc avoir plus d'informations, de réponses dans ce tome là. Mais, il me faudra être patiente !

As long as Vampire Knight exists in any physical media and continues being released, I will ALWAYS buy new releases of this wonderful, convoluted, melodramatic, beloved vampire romance....

Este volumen ha sido quizá el mejor que he leído y si me gustó bastante. vi momentos y escenas bastante memorables y que valieron la pena leerlas.

Warnings: physical violence, terrorist attack (bombing, suicide bombing), blood-letting
Yuki and Zero have finally decided to give their relationship a go, after decades of being 'friendly' in the eyes of everyone else. It was also convenient that most of the detractors are dead now, so after going and personally delivering some warnings, they are free to be with each other. Even Ai is in hibernation, so things are quiet - until they aren't. The headmaster of Cross Academy is starting to show signs of decline, and that also means we are reminded of the mortality of the vampire hunter bloodline; but his longevity means Aido has a research subject. Meanwhile, stirring up more trouble are a group of anti-vampire humans that don't agree with the assimilation of the vampire and human societies, which becomes violent in this volume.
This volume was more of the quiet moments - Yuki and Zero talking about their future and their relationship, Cross nostalgically remembering about Juri and how he met her and how the idea for the Cross Academy came to be. Even in the distant future, Kaname is looking at the idyllic life of the town where he lives, wondering what it took to achieve that peace (he doesn't remember his vampire life), and deciding how he wants to live his human life. But yeah, then there was those anti-vampire folks coming in and destroying stuff, so I guess we have a new antagonist for this series?

This volume explored the relationship between Ruka and Akatsuki. It was really nice to see Ruka, Rima, and Yuki bonding together at a cafe over their similar experiences in love. And I really enjoyed the flashback for Haruka and Juri being the inspiration for the change in the world, the academy, that Kaien would create.
We FINALLY got to see the blossoming relationship between Zero and Yuki... still kind of a slow burn, but it did take them centuries to get here. Those two move as slow as glaciers. Honestly, my favorite part of the manga was the extra chapters were we see Ai and Seiya (Aidou/Sayori's baby boy) playing and Aidou's manly tears because Ai is very much her father's daughter (Aidou's relentless tormentor = Kaname).
I felt like this volume's stories jumped around even more than the previous ones.

Its been a few months since I read anything Vampire Knight but I am still in love with this series.
It's great to see how everyone's live changes and progressed and how they are dealing with the grief of losing Sayori. I felt so sad when Aido thought about giving her her medicine and then remembered she wasn't there.
I am glad that Zero and Yuki have officially started a relationship but wonder how others are going to react to it especially after that bomb that went off.
I looking forward to next volume.

I am happy that Matsuri Hino continued with this side project after the end of the Vampire Knight series. This volume contains some of the silliness (and therefore, lightheartedness) of the original series while also dealing heavily with loss after loss. It's a lot like sifting through a scrapbook and seeing pictures of the lives that were. I think this series or mini-series hits a decent stride here, and I can't help but feel sad for Kaname as he is now. :(

Still loving this further world development and all the stories of the thousand year span between VK 19 and the epilogue.
September 7, 2019
I think I'm enjoying this continuation more than the original series, even though it's a bit slow and time is always switching around.

Como que no me gusta mucho el personaje de Ai, la hija de Yuki y Kaname :S pero en sí, la historia me esta gustando muchisimo, espero no tarde tanto en salir el volumen 4 T__T

This was so good. Lots of tension and emotions overall.
This one specifically was definitely written for fans of the original series.

En este tercer tomo se aborda un poco más sobre ese conflicto que hay con ciertos humanos que rechazan a los vampiros y crean conflictos.
Humanos tontos.
