Vampire Knight Ds English Patch
Kian Trip
The story takes place in the prestigious Cross Academy, which is home to two distinct classes: The Day class, which applies to only humans, and the Night Class, which applies to only vampires, of which the day class is unaware. Much of the plot revolves around Yuki Cross, the headmaster's adopted daughter, as she is being drawn into a conflict concerning the overall coexistence between humans and vampires and the twisted reality concerning her childhood friend Zero Kiryuu, who, despite having a hatred for vampires, is revealed to be slowly turning into one of their kind.
Two drama CDs were created for the series, as well as a twenty-six episode anime adaptation based on the first two sagas. Produced by Studio Deen, the anime series' first season aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between April and July 2008. The second season, aired on the same station from October to December 2008. The anime uses many of the same voice actors as were used for the drama CDs. The anime adaptation was licensed for release in North America by Viz Media.
Yuki's earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, where she was attacked by a rogue vampire and rescued by Kaname Kuran, a Pureblood vampire. Ten years later, Yuki is the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, and has become a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her childhood crush, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of vampires at the elite boarding school.
At her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend whose hatred for the creatures that destroyed everything he held dear leaves him determined never to trust them. This coexisting arrangement seems all well and good, but have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions? In this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems. The price of misplaced trust may even be worse than death. Should Yuki truly find out what was in her past, is the truth going to hurt her worse than not knowing?
The series was licensed for English release in North America by Viz Media. In addition to publishing the individual volumes, the series was serialized in Viz's Shojo Beat manga anthology from the July 2006 issue until the magazine was discontinued after the August 2009 issue. It is licensed for English release in Australia and New Zealand by Madman Entertainment, which released fifteen volumes. The final volume was released in English on October 14, 2014 by Viz Media.[7]

Three light novels created by Matsuri Hino and Ayuna Fujisaki were published in Japan by Hakusensha in 2008 (the first two novels) and 2013 (the third), respectively. The novels feature side-stories that use the characters of the manga, but are not specifically based on chapters from the series.[24] The first novel, Vampire Knight: Ice Blue Sin (ヴァンパイア騎士 憂氷の罪, Vanpaia Naito: Aisu Burū no Tsumi), was published on April 5, 2008.[24][25] The first story within the novel looks at an incident that occurred at Cross Academy in the year preceding Yuki's arrival about a Day Class student named Fuka Kisaragi, while the second story details an incident that occurred while Zero was still in training to be a vampire hunter alongside Kaito Takamiya, another boy training under Toga Yagari to be a vampire hunter.[24]
The second novel, Vampire Knight: Noir's Trap (ヴァンパイア騎士 凝黒の罠, Vanpaia Naito: Nowāru no Wana), was published on October 3, 2008.[24][26] The story focuses on two minor characters, Nadeshiko Shindo and Kasumi Kageyama, from the manga, following their respective unrequited love at Cross Academy, as well as detailing a case that happened when Akatsuki Kain and Ruka Souen go to visit Senri Shiki and Rima Toya's modeling studio.[24]
In November 2008, the official Vampire Knight, titled Vampire Knight Fanbook: Cross (ヴァンパイア騎士 ファンブックX, Vanpaia Naito Fanbukku Kurosu), was published in Japan. In addition to providing additional information about the series characters and story, it includes images and details from Hino's storyboard.[24] The fanbook has been licensed by Viz Media and was released on October 19, 2010.[28]
A 94-page Matsuri Hino Illustrations Vampire Knight was released on July 5, 2010, the artwork included one original double page spread created for the Artbook and a compilation of 100 previously released Vampire Knight color artworks.
The first season began airing in Japan on TV Tokyo on April 8, 2008 and ran until the season concluded on July 1, 2008. The episodes were also aired at later dates on TV Aichi, TV Hokkaido, TV Osaka, TV Setouchi, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting Co. The second season, Vampire Knight: Guilty, premiered on the same station on October 7, 2008. The final episode aired on December 30, 2008.
On July 24, 2009, Viz Media announced it had acquired the license for the Vampire Knight anime and would begin releasing it on DVD on July 20, 2010. In the UK, the first volume was officially released on DVD via Manga Entertainment on November 22, 2010. In Australia, ABC3 began airing the series (English-language version) in March 2011 and began repeats on July 3 later that year.
Yuki Cross's earliest memory is of being attacked by a vampire and being saved by Kaname Kuran, also a vampire. Ten years later, Yuki and vampire hunter Zero Kiryu attend Cross Academy as school guardians protecting the "Day Class" of human students from the "Night Class" of vampires. The story follows Yuki's discovery that her childhood friend, Zero, has spent the last four years trying to fight his transformation into a vampire, and he has finally succumbed. Yuki struggles to help Zero fight his bloodlust, although it might pull her further away from Kaname. The situation intensifies when a new student, Maria Kurenai, transfers to the Night Class, and she seems to have something to do with Zero's past.
The second season, Vampire Knight: Guilty, picks up shortly after the first with Zero returning to Cross Academy. Yuki begins trying to figure out her forgotten past as her hallucinations grow more intense, and Kaname avoids giving her answers. Zero visits the now awakened Maria Kurenai in an attempt to find answers, but she only provides a cryptic clue suggesting who the true enemy might be. The Vampire Council intends to find justice for the murder of the pureblood Shizuka Hio, and they target Zero, but Kaname intervenes to stop them. A new evil rises in Cross Academy, and Kaname takes steps to keep Yuki safe.
If you wonder why there are two kinds of volume above, in Japan, usually "volume" as we know it called tankoubon, and bunkouban is a tankoubon with more pages, thus why bunkouban has less volume. Further reading in Wikipedia about those formats.
Should be, because the anime only caught up to vol. 10 and when all season of Vampire Knight anime ended, the manga was still ongoing. You can see it based on the year the anime and manga ended at Wikipedia's page of Vampire Knight.
Further, I didn't watch the anime and only read its manga till the end, but seeing Wikipedia's page of List of Vampire Knight episodes, seeing the story of the last episode of Vampire Knight: Guilty, I can tell you that's not how the manga ended.
Whether it's worth or not, it's up to each reader. But if you want to know the "official" ending (I said "official", because the manga is the original source), then it's recommended to read the manga, because the manga did finish it off.
To be exact, the anime deviated from the manga slightly near to the end as instead of Zero and Yuki being on a roof, Zero is standing on a platform made entirely of the thorn vines from Bloody Rose. Also, Kaname killed all the Vampire Senate, not just Ichijo and the guards at the very end. After that, there is a time skip until Cross Academy is rebuilt and running again and Kaname is now living with Yuki.
Pretty much from the small discrepancies at the end of the anime, you can start reading from Chapter 49 (Volume 11 - 49th Night) and not really miss out, though I would just start reading from chapter 1 again to read the Bonus/Extra stories that most volumes came with (I don't know how much they add, but I seem to recall a small story of Kaien caring for little Yuki)
Since the series continues on after Yuki leaves Cross Academy with Kaname, there is more information as we learn more about Purebloods and what happened between Kaname's Parents and Rido, particularly why in the anime Juri says that Rido "already killed one of her children" when Kaname never mentions another sibling apart from Yuki.
We also learn more about the Vampire Hunters and why their weapons are so effective against Vampires, and finally learn that Kaname's real end goal is for his past actions (killing Shizuka Hio, wiping out the senate, making Zero what he is)
Of course, whether or not you accept that it's the end is another matter. Since there have been no new releases afterward, there doesn't seem to be any plans to continue after Chapter 93. There's probably fan fiction and doujinshi floating around, but these wouldn't be considered as canon (e.g. Yuki making Sayori a vampire and becoming a couple forever)
