Письмо Article: Манга Review:The Art of Vampire Knight

posted by ZekiYuro

Vampire Knight is one of Viz's top-selling series, and it's not hard to see why: While it's not for everyone, the Любовь triangle, Сверхъестественное romance, and hint of forbidden Любовь are like catnip for some readers. The Art of Vampire Knight, released earlier this месяц by Viz, is a beautifully produced art book that will be pure heaven to Vampire Knight junkies (but probably a bit boring for everyone else).
The book collects the full-color art that manga-ka Matsuri Hino created for the chapter openings in LaLa magazine and the tankoubon covers. Some have been published as part of the Английский язык editions but others have not.

Vampire Knight is set in the пересекать, крест Academy, a high school attended by ordinary students during the день and a special vampire class at night. The story is basically a Любовь треугольник between Yuki Cross, a human girl who was attacked by a vampire as a child; Kaname, the vampire who rescued her and who now is the leader of the night class; and Zero, Yuki's childhood friend, who is now a vampire-hating vampire hunter who nonetheless is turning into a vampire, fighting it every step of the way. Lianne Sentar has a great Описание of why Vampire Knight is so addictive (hint: SEXY VAMPIRES) at Sleep Is For the Weak.

The Art of Vampire Knight is 75 pages of full-color drawings Показ Yuki, Zero, and/or Kaname entwined in various poses, turning a smoldering gaze on the viewer или gazing off into the distance. Everyone looks wistful all the time; this is not a jolly threesome like Ты sometimes see in shoujo manga. The book is divided into three parts: Vampire Days, Vampire Nights, and Vampire Soiree. The first section is mostly just Yuki, Zero, and Kaname striking poses, while the секунда section brings in some darker imagery (blood, chains) and some interesting vignetting. The third section is all about the costumes, with some cute holiday pieces (pumpkins and macaroons, summer kimonos) and еще smoldering gazes. The book concludes with the artist's special selection of art and a step-by-step Описание of how she paints a cover. Hino also has notes on each piece of art at the end of the book, telling where it first appeared and what she thought about it. But really, the pictures dominate the book; everything else is pushed to the back and reduced to tiny print, but the paintings are big and beautiful.

The book is beautifully produced and printed. The format is oversized hardcover, larger than most magazines, with a matte dust jacket. Most pages have art that bleeds to the edges, giving it a luxurious look. The paper is nice, heavy stock. Just based on the production values, $24.99 is a good deal for this book. While those who don't follow the series and aren't Фаны of smoky-eyed bishounen may want to give it a pass, The Art of Vampire Knight is a slam dunk for Vampire Knight fans.

I saw black sneakers with purple shoestrings. Then tight black pants. Далее a draping black shirt, with small hands covered by fingerless, leather gloves. A пересекать, крест choker sat at the base of her neck. My eyes then fell upon hers. Those eyes, those piercing blue eyes, somewhat similar to my own. The black hair teased slightly, with choppy, side bangs, covering the outer corner of her right eye. It was the girl, from the hallway. The one who thanked me. I gasped softly.
“Hello, Lucy,” I сказал(-а) to her.
“Hello,” she сказал(-а) in the same small voice....

"It's nice here. I don't know many people though..." Victor brushed his hair back, smiling again. "Well, by tomorrow, all of the kids at school will wanna be your friend." "Oh..."

Cause my house is right there." She pointed, and Victor burst out laughing. "Haha-I live right Далее to Ты then..." The blonde looked at the house Далее to hers. It seemed normal. A little old fashioned, but definitely normal. "Cool! Well, I'll see Ты tomorrow then?" "Yeah..." The onyx eyed boy took Jade's hand, kissed it lightly, then walked off. "What was that?"

Today was my first день working for the mental institution. I woke around ten, and got a shower. I dressed in my black pants, shoes, and shirt. Over the рубашка was my white doctor’s jacket. The color white didn’t’ suite me, but it’s not like I hade a choice in wearing it.
I walked to work. The asylum was only three blocks away. As I walked I worried over people criticizing me. Or, making fun of me. What if I treated the wrong patient? What if I messed something up? What if I got lost?
My stomach started to tighten as I thought of the day...

Somewhere in the universe, a planet was dying.

The planet was Esphera, Earth's twin. Here lived people like on earth, who wore pants, shirts and dresses; they went to school and had emotions;they had their own currency. There were no cars here, but they had instead hovercrafts- spade-shaped vehicles that floated in the air. Most people on the planet were too poor to buy a hovercraft, one of the most expenisve items in Esphera.

But the thing that sets Earth and Esphera apart is the children.

Children on Esphera are all born with a special power-like invisibility-that vanishes at age 16. After...
