Matsuri Hino

I'll be honest, I'm over this series. I found that this series kind of went off the rails and got too confusing me for. And I'm even sad over it! The first 8 or so books in the series I was OBSESSED with. I totally dug them and really wanted to binge the whole series. Then the story went onto a random path and I just couldn't get into it anymore. It's kind of upsetting! I think Matsuri Hino is SO good! She's great at storytelling and manga. The pictures are STUNNING. The illustrations are one of the best parts of this whole series. I find it difficult to find such great illustrations that are consistent.

I am totally confused on what's going to happen but I will finish this series. Will she end up with Zero or Kaname? I'm betting Zero now, but that's because Kaname pulled a 180 and is completely different. I almost want a little timeline about what actually happened because things changed fast.

Overall, this series is gonna be the death of me but I'm gonna see it through.

Vampire Knight Volume 14 continues on the very long story of Yuki, Kaname and Zero.

I have zero clue what's going on anymore. I felt that around the 11/12 mark this series could have ended with a nice bow tied on it. But it just keeps going... I'm super confused on Kaname's character and why he's doing what he's doing. It seems random and just a way to keep this series going. I am intrigued to see how this will go though, so I'm going to follow through as best as possible. It's just so tragic and sad... I really am hoping for some form of happy ending. This series used to be more of a romantic comedy/fantasy mix and now it's just... depressing.

Well, that was interesting.

I'll be honest, if I didn't have the next two books sitting on my TBR shelf at the moment I would stop this series. The twist this book took with the series hurt my brain and kind of ruined the rest of the series for me. Was there actual hints towards what was going to happen? Because I haven't noticed anything...

The illustrations are still wonderful, but I wanted more Zero and less of a confusing storyline. This story is just dragging on and on and on...

This series is kind of waning on me. I simply want to finish it, but it feels like it's going on and on forever. I found that this volume was more interesting than the last few, but it doesn't pull me in quite as well as the initial volumes did. It's interesting to see the flash forward and see Yuki going out for the first time, but I also felt like it was just too dry. I find a lot of these volumes could be excluded and it wouldn't affect the story as much.

I find the illustrations are still marvellous though. I absolutely still love all of the pictures, and I swear that is one of the reasons I stick to this series.
