review 1: This volume is one of the better ones where Yuki doesn't act TSTL. She actually acts like a leader even though she lost the class president elections for the Night class. We more tension with Zero and more of Sara's machinations. There are interesting developments regarding Ichijo and Shiki. We also get more information regarding Kaname's plotting which seem to have begun a lot earlier than previously revealed.This is actually a pretty exciting volume with a lot of developments and a lot going on. We also have the seven month cliffhanger as the manga goes on a 7 month hiatus. I love the little quick drawn cartoon that she draws at the end announcing the 7 month delay. I really really love her humor even if I get frustrated with her storytelling at t... moreimes.
review 2: Vampire Knight can increasingly be summarized with one word: confusing. The plot is confusing - who is good or bad; what's going on? The characters are confusing - who is who - it's hard to tell people apart. And yet, I keep reading and mostly enjoying this series.I like that Yuki is coming back to be the strong girl that she started out the series as. She lost her way when Kaname first changed her back into a vampire and revealed her history. We saw Yuki's strength really emerge in Volume 15. It's more subtle in this volume, but Yuki seems increasingly sure of herself, even when she's not sure of Kaname or exactly what's going on around her.But really Yuki took a back seat in this volume. Much of the volume is about Headmaster Cross going after Kaname himself. Headmaster Cross is a fascinating contradiction. He's a vampire hunter but a man devoted to peace. He came across as silly at the beginning of the series but is increasingly serious. He went from being Yuki's virtual father to being a near stranger and is now becoming involved in her life again. The other main plot arc is the blood pills that Sara's company developed. Yuki suspects that something is wrong with them and she's right. They make vampires who take them forget their dedication to peace and cooperation. Sara's trying to make slaves, either people who will serve her directly or indirectly by creating chaos. Sara has gained a lot of power at the school in a short period of time, but people are beginning to catch on to her.The major development in Volume 16 is not so much a development as a question. What is Kaname doing? Of course, we've been wondering that for a long time, but after a few volumes where he seems to be pure evil, there's a hint of doubt. Yuki realizes that Kaname did not commit a few murdered which were attributed to him. That's not to say he didn't commit others, but it opens a door to see some layers to whatever he's doing. I'm sure curious. And that's what keeps me coming back no matter how odd this series is. less

4 starsCan I just say that no one scares me like Sara Shirabuki? She's creepy, quiet, calculating, and worst of all, she has a plan... a plan that's coming together! I'm terrified every time she shows up! Eep! Finish her, Kaname! FINISH HER!I must say, though: 1) what the heck is Kaname up to?? And 2) what did Sara whisper in Zero's ear?? Also 3) Shiki. Dude. What are you doing?!November can't come fast enough!June 2013: REREADOkay, so when I first read Vol. 16, I was completely lost and confused. However, after rereading it just now, I found that it made a lot more sense and was much more enjoyable. Therefore, the rating now stands at a 4.5 stars. :)

It's getting jumbled and dragging as the volumes progress. I miss the straightforward early days.
