Hino Matsuri - Vampire Knight, vol. 03-04 (Eng. trans.)

I think coffeeandink covers everything (linking to tag to preserve spoiler cut), but I will attempt to write something.

In Mariposa, sophia_helix and sartorias were discussing Stephanie Meyers' Twilight, particularly focusing on the sublimination of desire and therefore having your cake and eating it too. I think Vampire Knight is an example of that done right; I cannot tell if ( Read more... )

There is probably more, but really, I am all about wee!Yuki and wee!Zero bonding over being vampire victims in the bathroom.

... it is less sketchy than I just made it sound, really.

They are so adorable! I just hadn't remembered that was Volume 3. Clearly it is time for a full-series re-read!

Kaname hasn't really had much trouble controlling his lust for Yuki('s blood) so far, though. He even knows about the illicit blood-sucking going on with Zero and has not burst out in a possessive male rage.

I know! I want to buy it now so I can flip through all the good Yuki/Zero moments!

Oh, wow, I completely missed that with Kaname. Possibly I just saw him looming about and assumed he must be overtaken with lust for Yuki('s blood), as everyone else in the series has been.

I feel Yuki and evil vampiress should have sex bloodsuck against a wall.

Well, he is clearly lusting, he's just not overtaken. He is a man who knows the value of delayed gratification.

And I totally don't care, because I ship Zero/Yuki ALL THE WAY.

YES. I am waiting for Kaname to turn canonically evil so Zero can kill him (I would say Yuki, but nothing so far gives me that hope).

I hold out secret hope that Kaname turns out to be the Diet Coke With Splenda of evil. Solely because nothing drives Zero so delightfully Cat-VS-Water insane as he does, and when Kaname finally flips out and tries to take over the woooorld* the deep swell of personal satisfaction may pop Zero like a balloon.

I second this motion. Ditto for the shipping of Zero and Yuki.
