The January Issue of Hakusensha’s LaLa shōjo magazine has announced that the shōjo manga, Vampire Knight will be adapted into an anime series. (YESS!!!) No cast or staff has been announced.
[Plot Summary]
The horror manga takes place in Cross Academy, where the student body is divided into the “regular” Day Class and the “elite” Night Class. Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster, is one of the few people in the entire school who knows that the Night Class students are vampires. Yuki herself was attacked by a vampire — and saved by another — as a child. As such, she joins the Guardians, a student group that struggles to maintain the delicate balance between the two classes. Zero, Yuki’s childhood friend and one of the Day Class Guardians, happens to be a latent vampire who keeps sane by drinking blood voluntarily offered by Yuki. Meanwhile, the student president of the Night Class is Kaname — the same vampire who saved Yuki as a child.
[Thoughts]
I have both volumes in English and trying to get the third one. Even though the plot might be simple, I still can’t wait. There was another choice competing against Vampire Knight. It’s called Crimson Hero. Crimson Hero seems like a much more better manga to be adapted. Maybe in the later years. Not a lot of vampire animes exist, so I’m anticipating this to be good.
