Vampire Knight 3 by Matsuri Hino
Read: 25 Oct 2009
My first book for the Readathon!
Vampire Knight is about the only manga I read and buy. I just bought this third volume not three hours ago, and now I've read it. Pretty quick, eh. But then again, it's manga.
I wrote about the first and second volumes of Vampire Knight previously. My fascination for the series has even led me to buying the DVDs. I've seen the whole first season, which was why, when I read volume 3, I had a feeling that I'd read it before. Turns out I haven't; I'd only seen it on DVD.
In this volume, more is revealed about the backstory of Yuki, Kaname, and Zero. It's not surprising that Yuki's fascination for the pure-blood vampire Kaname stems back from her childhood. What is surprising is that Kaname seems to have been equally entranced by her, even when she was a child. And Zero--well, it's also predictable that Zero's aggression towards Kaname existed from the moment Zero starts living in Yuki's household after surviving the vampire attack that took his whole family.
The unpredictable thing, however, is that, for once, I seem don't seem to be rooting for the vampire in this human-vampire love triangle.
Don't get me wrong--Kaname the vampire is as noble, handsome, powerful, and kind as they come. And I have a feeling Yuki will end up with him. But can I help it that I find Zero's tortured personality more appealing? Not to mention that he does look hot in the drawings. Kaname, however, looks slightly feminine.
Now I wish I had bought the fourth volume, too. Both because I'm really eager to read the rest of the series and because it's going to ensure me a quick read in the Readathon. However, no use regretting the past--I'm off to read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh now! Oh, and time check--it's 3:04 AM where I am.:)
Good luck to everyone else in the Readathon!
