Vampire Knight (Japanese Shojo Manga)


Vampire Knight (VK) is another Japanese shojo (teenage girl) manga written and illustrated by Matsuri Hino from 2004-2013 that I read on around 2011 out of curiosity when a fellow anime fan that I met online really love this manga and also ordered a commission for fan art. 

The story revolved around Yuki, a girl with a strange dream about a pureblood vampire, her shady past and a mysterious childhood friend. Well, when it comes to shojo manga and vampire, you can expect romance, handsome guys, high-school and love triangle because teenage girls a.k.a shojo would love this type of story. Although in this series also deepen a little bit with dark background story related to bloody vampires. I read it for some times until at one point, I dropped it because of boredom and I wasn't fond of the main characters instead I like the villain better. I read the rest of the manga once it is finished just to know how the author wrapped up the ending and yes, I already could guess how it ended since the story was quite predictable from the beginning. The illustration is great though and I draw some fan arts from it because of the villain characters that I like and some of my friends' requests.
