Product Description
R to L (Japanese Style)
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!
Yuki sneaks into an exclusive vampire party and sees Aido's parents introducing their daughter to Kaname. They, like many other Night Class parents, desire an alliance with the pureblood. Kaname is the most eligible bachelor in the vampire society--but will he choose Yuki?

Great volume!
5 Stars
Great volume!
Vampire Knight gets more interesting with each volume.
Volume 6 is particularly nice, because you get to know a bit more about the background of the Night Class characters, which is not only interesting but also so cute, since five years old Kaname and four years old Aidou are absolutely adorable in the flashback!

Matsuri Hino, Vampire Knight, vol. 6 (ViZ, 2007)
Vampire Knight returns with a volume that halts the forward motion of the story to set u0p a number of plot points that will seemingly be used farther down the road. We've spent most of our time up till now with Yuki, Zero, and Kaname, but over the winter break, the night class head off to the country, giving us some insight into some of the previously minor characters in the series. Looks like Hino's setting this up for a good long run now that she's had a series go beyond five volumes. ***

The Game's Afoot
4 Stars
Although it includes the usual Yuki and Zero moments, this volume of Vampire Knight mainly focuses on expanding it's mythology while peeling away more of the layers of the Night Class.
As it begins, Yuki and Zero begin a search for Yuki's missing childhood - a search which by association sheds a light on her foster father Headmaster Cross, about whom we only now realize we don't know very much about. The rest of the volume, however, centers on the Night Class' school break.
When a series of events lead to Yuki being sheltered in Aido's home, we meet his immediate family and get a rather amusing and quite human explanation of why his personality is what it is. We also get a revelation about Aido which ramps up our sympathy for his plight regarding Kaname and changes the way we view their relationship. We also learn more about Shiki, who after having spent most of the series in the background turns out to have a rather unsettling and disturbing home life. And as always, there's Kaname, evoking mixed feelings in us with his alternating loyalty and cruelty towards his inner circle.
It all ends as the web becomes even more tangled - and one Night Class member becomes the victim of a horrific betrayal while another forges into danger to protect the one he loves.
One of the best volumes so far, and further proof that for all it's melodrama the series is fast becoming more than we originally expected it to be.
