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.

Two out of five stars. ( )

this manga is so great! its gripping from start to finish the storyline flows throughout and has a unexpected ending to it. the Anime to this (the Japanese one not the dubbed) is just as gripping and the casting for the voices were well chosen for the characters attitude. i reccomend against this if you don't like romance and vampire fantasy. also if interested in the anime i would reccomend the Japanese version with subs try not to watch the dubbed its atrocious.

Not a real review, but:

Wow, these read so fast! Can't believe I've read this many volumes already. The story continues to be good but to me the page layouts are terrible. It is often so hard to tell who is saying what and to whom, and due to the similarities in looks of the characters, even who is whom. I wish the manga-ka had given the story to someone else and let them do the actual drawing. ( )
