Vampire Knight

ヴァンパイア騎士 (ナイト)

Cross Academy is an elite boarding school that houses two separate, segregated groups: the Day Class and the Night Class. On the surface, Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu serve as prefects of the academy, working to maintain order among the students during the evening class rotations. Since the Night Class consists of exceptionally gorgeous elites, this task can sometimes prove challenging. However, it is entirely necessary—because those "elites" are actually vampires. Yuuki and Zero act as guardians, protecting the secrets of the Night Class while ensuring the safety of their unsuspecting daytime counterparts. As the adopted daughter of the academy's chairman, Yuuki approaches her duties with seriousness and enthusiasm. The role also allows her to interact with her secret crush and former savior, Kaname Kuran, the president of the Night Class dormitory. Zero, in contrast, harbors a deep-seated hatred for vampires, and at times does not hesitate to kill them. Can vampires and humans coexist, even within the rigid structure of Cross Academy? Only time will tell. Included one-shot: Volume 17: Watashi to Fukigen na Panya-san (The Sour-Faced Baker and Me).
