From Vampire Knight to Vampire Knight Guilty.
I have appreciated this anime/manga since it first came out. On the other hand, Kaname fans and YuMe shippers will possibly cherish this one a lot more. I know I couldn't have not read this chapter given my devotion to the series, but if you're longing for your Zero fix and feeling particularly raw and left torn asunder from the finale ending, consider rewatching the anime instead and spare yourself the agony that this chapter will definitely bring forth. Overall, you're sort of bullied into feeling that yes, you've been provided closure for the epic adventure you vicariously undertook with these three heartbreaking characters, but there's not much that this particular chapter reveals that the ardent reader could not have fathomed on their own. No doki doki or Moe moments, but my dead-inside heart was moved enough to weep by the ending pages with the haunting beauty of Zero's (never ending) anguish and Kaname's intended future.Ĭharacter development happens a LOT for some of our satellite characters, but for the main characters, all you're treated to is the "Finally!" moment when Zero admits that maybe he shouldn't have been such a pig about Yuuki being a pureblood and his regrets over opportunities lost and the road not taken. If anything, it leaves you feeling more wistful and ennui-ridden than ever!Īrt is of course Hino Matsuri's strong suit and this chapter does not disappoint. Not too many plot holes are addressed and the amount of closure you'll derive from this after thirsting for more after the manga finale is questionable. Along the way, we're treated to certain charismatic scenes involving Kaname's fate and the dere part of Zero's tsundere treatment towards Yuuki, albeit a very very little. It goes on to describe how she cheers Zero on after the events of the finale and about her own little happy ending with a certain blue eyed Idol fromĬross Academy. It explores their first meeting, the depth of their friendship and her perspective on the love triangle and its origins. The story starts out from the POV of Yuuki's sweet and demure roommate Yori chan. "Auuugh!" is all you serious fans are going to say when you're done devouring this tiny morsel Matsuri sama threw our way after taking Zero (and Kaname?) away from us after 9 long years spent loving and obsessing over their fate.
