Personally, I liked Matsuri Hino's other manga, Shuriken and Pleats and MuriPuri better. However, Vampire Knight was still a good manga. That being said, it had it's weak points. Especially, the second half of the series. It started out as a school romance with a vampire "night class" and a human "day class," but then turned into an all out war. Let me tell you: things get crazy!

Spoiler Alert here. Ok, Yuki can be a vampire been in a human for ten years, and Kaname can be her older brother, whatever. Kaname's still keeping secrets from Yuki after she got her vampire powers back. Typical Kaname. Kaname's one of the original progenerates; therefore not really the son of the Kuran's, but at the same time... he is their son. (Ok...) Kaname wants to eliminate all pureblood vampires expect himself and Yuki. (Why?) Sara is disturbing underground blood tablets to control other vampires (kinda pointless subplot...). Kaname wants to turn Yuki human, but Yuki doesn't want to be human. (Fair enough.) Yuki decides she wants to turn Kaname human to stop his pureblood massacre. (Give what you give, I guess...) Kaname throughs his heart into a furnace to become vampire hunting weapons. That's fine, but his sacrifice is meaningless if he...sigh...he does...
