I must say I really enjoyed it up to volume 9, up until that point the story has a nice pace and characters and romance are both interesting enough. But after Volume 10 the story feels dragged along and the characters actions start to make less sense.
The art is really beautiful and every panel feels carefully crafted. Even though the art style is a little dated nowadays I still think it aged really well.
I have to say that I find Kaname, one of the main characters, straight up unlikeable for most of the series (save for a nice moment here and there) and therefor him being part of the center love triangle makes it infuriating each time the narrative leans towards him and Yuki, which it does for a very long stretch of time. Characters like Zero and Aido do make up for him though.
My dislike for Kaname might be the reason why I don't like the plot in the later volumes that much either, so take my crticism with a grain of salt.
Overall, I think Vampire Knight is series that may have profited from a more compressed ending arc but is never the less enjoyable if you like vampires and love triangles.
