Product Description
R to L (Japanese Style). Meet your knights in shining darkness. Cross Adademy is attended by two groups of students: the Day Class and the Night Class. At twilight, when the students of the Day Class return to their dorm, they cross paths with the Night Class on their way to school. Yuki Cross and Zero Kiryu are the Guardians of the school, protecting the Day Class from the Academy's dark secret: the Night Class is full of vampires! After trying to recall her past, Yuki's hallucinations become more vivid and she tries to strangle Zero during a fit of madness. Locked in her room, all she can see is a world dyed in blood, but Kaname comes for her. He tells her it's time to wake up and sinks his fangs into her neck…

 Guilty secret. November 4, 2009

Ok so I have a guilty secret... I'm ok with what I found out about Kaname and Yuki... gross right? I do read a lot of Egyptian and Greek myths so the concept isn't new or exciting. Vampire 8 leaves us with not a cliff hanger ending so much as too much information, then a sudden black out. You find yourself gasping for breath with everything that was disseminated, then it gets taken away and not to be revealed until next year.
Wow, Zero plays a very small role, but his relationship with Yuki is becoming strained to the point of breaking apart completely. And Kaname, I don't blame him and I don't really think of him as self serving. He plays a political game yes, but ultimately everything he does and plans to do is to build a world where Yuki will be safe. That's the reason he founded the Cross Academy, that's the reason he protects her and loves her, everything is for her. Man I'm telling you people I want to be Yuki.
This manga got 5 stars because it divulged more information then the last installment, and had more going on then the smoke and shadows from book 7. The author/illustrator is also my top favorite and if you haven't already check out Meri Puri... fantastic, also the anime is also to die for.
Ok, ok, one last thing, there are absolutely amazing drawings of Kaname and Yuki on the chapter pages of the manga.... woah... that's all I can say!

This volume of Vampire Knight is a rollercoaster of melodramatic goodness that fans who like what they've seen so far will eat up.
With his usual mix of honorable care and sleazy self-service, Kaname reveals to Yuki the secret he's been keeping from her since her childhood - and it's a whopper. He also puts her in a position in which she's finally forced to start facing her feelings towards the mysterious, frightening object of her attraction and the childhood friend she's sacrificed so much to save as the Yuki/Kaname/Zero triangle comes to a shocking head in the wildest, most sordid turn it's taken yet. And as she reels in what might be the most difficult moment of her life, the most interesting friendship in the series takes a touching turn as Aido, who for all his cattiness is probably Yuki's only real friend in the Night Class in his own way, offers her a shoulder to lean on. Meanwhile, Ichijo desperately struggles to be Shiki's voice in the matter of taking down Rido as the possessed boy begins the battle for his soul...
Anyone who loves to hate Kaname is really going to get into this one, as his ability to do both the right and wrong things in the same volume are on full display. With Zero in a heartbreaking situation and Aido at his most human, stumbling awkwardly but still managing to be there for Yuki almost in spite of himself with quiet empathy that's probably even surprising himself, the volume is everything that fans like about the series most.
