Pagsulat Article: Manga 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 pag-ibig triangle, supernatural romance, and hint of forbidden pag-ibig are like catnip for some readers. The Art of Vampire Knight, released earlier this buwan sa pamamagitan ng 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 salitang ingles editions but others have not.

Vampire Knight is set in the tumawid Academy, a high school attended sa pamamagitan ng ordinary students during the araw and a special vampire class at night. The story is basically a pag-ibig tatsulok between Yuki Cross, a human girl who was attacked sa pamamagitan ng 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 paglalarawan 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 ipinapakita Yuki, Zero, and/or Kaname entwined in various poses, turning a smoldering gaze on the viewer or gazing off into the distance. Everyone looks wistful all the time; this is not a jolly threesome like you 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 segundo 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 madami smoldering gazes. The book concludes with the artist's special selection of art and a step-by-step paglalarawan 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 fans of smoky-eyed bishounen may want to give it a pass, The Art of Vampire Knight is a slam dunk for Vampire Knight fans.

"Let's go find Leon and everyone," Sora said, and along the way to Merlin's house, we saw just how much this place has improved.
When we came to the house, Sora opened the door and went in before Kairi and I could stop him and tell him to knock first.

"Hey, everybody!" Sora shouted to everyone, and they all jumped.

"Huh? Sora..." Leon mumbled after he jumped.

"Jeez, Sora! Ever heard of knocking?" Yuffie asked him and he smiled sheepishly.

Marley was bleeding from his wound, he was fighting the same sort of creature as the others, it was small but it was fast plus its forearms are used like clubs.

It left four claw like marks on its face; Marley looked at his hand and notice that his nails had pointed, as the creature wiped it’s eye he looked at Marley and saw that his eyes had become yellow.

Grito nodded, and then he looked at the fairy on his shoulder. The fairy nodded and flew up into the air and created a square in the air, like a movie screen.

He moved closer but I moved back. “Sadie, please” he begged, I shook my head. “You’re not dead” I stated, he nodded. I know it was a stupid thing to say, but at this moment it was the first thing that went through my mind. “Please, let me explain” he pleaded. I didn’t answer, I just stood there. “But, Dawn” I said, he nodded. “Dawn saw what I wanted her to” he simply said. I looked up at him with disgust. “What do you mean?” I asked...

Barely Noticed (Metaphor)

Life is an iPod. The different melodies, the ups and the downs, the changes in tempo, every song, and every experience differs a little from the next. Start with the tinkling bells, meaningless lyrics, and soothing sounds of early childhood. Everything is simple; repetition, a song meant for young ears, nothing to think about, nothing to ponder, just to breathe and to live. One song flows into the next, changing subtly, barely noticed. Then the words begin to gather madami depth; the beat becomes a little faster, a little louder. The music plays, slow and monotonous during the school day, dragging...
