Vampire Knight (2005- )

 English

Yuki Cross's earliest memory is of being attacked by a vampire and saved by Kaname Kuran, also a vampire. Ten years later, Yuki and the vampire hunter, Zero Kiryu are at Cross Academy as school guardians protecting the "Day Class" human students from the "Night Class" vampire students. 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 and to recover her own lost memories, while suspecting that Kaname knows more than he is saying.
When his uncle, Rido Kuran returns to kill Yuki, Kaname is forced to reveal her secret by biting Yuki and awakening her true nature as a pureblood vampire and returning her memories of being Yuki Kuran, his supposed younger sister. Rido is killed by Zero and Yuki while Kaname faces and destroys the Rido's allies, the Vampire Council, revealing himself to be one of the original vampires and the founder of the Kuran clan. Yuki and Zero part as enemies after Zero reveals he intends to end everything, by killing all purebloods even her. Yuki leaves with Kaname and they return to the Kuran family home and the story restarts a year later with Yuki dealing with vampire society and new enemies, such as Sara Shirabuki.

Vampire Knight è ambientato principalmente nella Cross Academy, una prestigiosa scuola privata con una quanto meno insolita struttura delle classi. Gli studenti sono infatti divisi fra Day Class, composta da normali studenti che svolgono le loro lezioni di giorno, e Night Class, un'élite di geni bellissimi che in realtà sono vampiri. Solo tre persone della Day Class sono a conoscenza di questa seconda faccia della Night Class: il preside e i due "Guardian", Yuki Kurosu (Cross), la protagonista, e Zero Kiriyū. Il compito di Yuki e Zero è di assicurare una convivenza pacifica fra le due classi. Yuki scopre però che Kaname, il capo della Night Class, le nasconde un segreto.
