Vampire Knight is a Shojo-style manga. Now to get rid of the elephant in the room, Vampire Knight is FAR better than most other vampire stories like Twilight, and Vampire Diaries. The thing is, it doesn't need to try because those books aren't well liked by many people if you set up a survey (please don't send me hate mail, thank you).
As many of you know, Vampire Knight is about Kaien Cross making a school that teaches human-beings and vampires to co-exist with each other. Vampire Knight has just the right amount of students that are for, or against Kaien Cross's plan. The private school is called "Cross Academy".
It also focuses on a a girl named Yuki Cross who likes a Vampire named Kaname Kuran who saved her life about 10 years ago, and Zero Kiryu, a boy who hates vampires of all kinds. Yuki, and Zero are part of the "Disciplinary Committee" to enforce vampires that try to put the humans in danger. The humans are part of the Day Class, and the Vampires are part of what is called, the "Night Class". Since Vampires are mostly nocturnal, they take classes at night. Despite being part of the Disciplinary Committee, Zero is usually doing every thing he can to torment the Night Class because of his hatred towards vampires. As a result, he is usually being scolded by Yuki, but this may not be the only problem...
This may be a love triangle, but it doesn't get to integrated in the story which is nice, and the art style is amazing. One thing to note, many fans, like me, find characters other than the main 3 more interesting. Needless to say, the main 3 are not as good as characters than the rest of the cast. However, the love triangle is not as bad as you would think. Yuki doesn't spend all day talking about Kaname if you know what I mean. Another thing not to like about V.K. is how long the conversation scenes are sometimes. However the fight scenes are fun to read, surprisingly! And it can be pretty hilarious at times.
Overall, I recommend reading Vampire Knight if you had a long/bad day. If you want something Shojo to read as well, this would be a great choice. Really, it doesn't matter what you are looking for, many will enjoy reading Vampire Knight.
