There, I said it. Sorry, I really don't mean to offend any fans but I’ve been trying to figure out my feelings for VK for a while now. I just can’t leave it alone so I have decided that I pretty much DISLIKE it. I kept hearing about how awesome it was so I tried to read it. First, I like to tell you that I am a fan of GOOD, funny, sweet shojo mangas, I LOVE love triangles, and a bit of drama, and I used to think vamps were cool. But vampire knight was a disappointment personally. I have to say the drawings are really pretty (although I still can’t decide if I like weird Yuki’s eyes or not). The plot was overly complicated and hard to understand for one, but the thing that really drove me crazy was Yuki’s character. Pardonnez moi, but she just seems so STUPID. It’s really feels like every waking moment, all she can talk about is“Oh, Kaname Sempai!” which really decrease any intellect she has and any respect I had for her. She’s dull, helpless and always the weakling who has to always be saved. Oh come on, for once, I’d like her to show some self respect. I really don’t find Kaname all that hot and amazing. He’s a creepy, merciless killer who is just obsessive about Yuki who is RELATED to him. I don’t know how people find incest romantic, its sick, messed up, and unreal. And Zero, I don’t really dislike him but he’s just so serious, tortured and angesty that it’s just painful to read about. The fact that most girls only like this manga because the characters are such pretty bishojos (which I’ve seen better) and don’t really think about the story is just annoying and unfair to other amazing mangas with great plots such as Skip Beat. I also dislike that it’s so darn serious and intense all the time. Where is the funny comic relief it started with? Kaien Crosss is probably my fav out of all the other sadistic characters cause he’s adorably funny:) And as to the whole VK sexual thing, I don’t really see that appeal because to me, their extreme willingness to subject to the whole “biting and blood drinking thing” shows their lack of dignity or self value. Sorry it’s so long but again, this is just my personal opinion, I don’t mean to offend, honest;) Wow, I just read all the reviews and in my personal opinion, I just find VK just plain boring and I just dropped it.

Well, I pretty much like Vampire Knight, because of the story, it's not all just ''sexy vampires and sexual actions'' that pulls me in. Yes, the males are sexy, but I pay more attention to the story, I like the clean artwork and the Victorian-style homes and clothing, the complicated and sometimes confusing storyline.'' It's not just ''I like it because the males are sexy, melodrama porn, etc etc.'' To sum this up, I have to honestly say, I'm quite a bit offended by this review. (sorry, just had to say it) I mean, it's kinda making people who like VK..well, seem like bad girls who want sex and look for Melodrama Porn. I've been reading VK, and really, it's not because of the reasons you listed below. We can't help it that Matsuri Hino draws art to look a bit sexualized. Besides, it's quite unique, unlike some manga that just really shows...stupid and obvious sexuality, I'm not going to name examples in case some fan of that manga bashes me. In conclusion, this review irks me quite a bit, even if I never read VK. It shows such a strong opinion, and makes people who like VK look..bad. Did you review High School of the Dead yet? I'm looking forward to that. It’s a pretty good review, but VK Lovers will surely flinch at this, lol. Well, I pretty much

You summed up most of my feelings toward VK. I've loved VK for a long while and I've always wondered why, because it isn't an exceptional plot. The teenage sex drive thing is SO true. Haha. Just to put it out there, the first chapter of VK came out a whole 10 months before Twilight was published. Hino very likely did not copy Meyer. Frankly, I think Twilight is superior to VK for a number of reasons. Won't go into that now because that's going to spark a whole new debate. Just wanted to bring up the fact that VK came first! Alright, enjoy your day. Lianne, once again, great review! Hope to see more :D Lianne, that was a great review. You summed up most of my feelings toward VK.

No joke. It was hate on first sight. The moment I saw the cover, with it's Barbie-doll art and round pretty eyes, a feeling of repulsion came over me, but I figured I should keep an open mind and give it a go. and my God, half a volume in, I just put it down. I didn't even read that closely on many parts, but the few scenes I did pay attention made me want to hurl it against the wall. Instead, I just put it back on the shelf, and walked away. You'd think I'd learn that mainstream manga is often overrated(e.g. Naruto), but even peeking inside a whole 100+ pages of something remotely resembling Twilight? In Shoujo Manga form? I must have been having a retard moment. Not to hate the people who like it, -and I have to respect you for making a unbiased review of something you love, Lianne- but it is my most honest opinion that this manga is really, really stupid.
