(and some other news) http://vk.dreamful.org/2009/08/01/chapter-52-is-out-and-some-other-news/ http://vk.dreamful.org/2009/08/01/chapter-52-is-out-and-some-other-news/#comments Sat, 01 Aug 2009 06:28:24 +0000 valerie http://vk.dreamful.org/?p=655 Apologies for the lack of updates – work really sucks your energy! Sagakure has scanlated the latest VK chapter, and if you haven’t read it, you can do so here.

Some useless ramblings of mine:

  • Lots of Kaname x Yuuki in this chapter, and despite being a Zero x Yuuki shipper, I wasn’t too upset with this development. I guess I saw it coming after reading the last couple of chapters.
  • Zero looks so good no matter what he’s doing! I can’t help but stare at the panels with him…
  • Sara and Takuma… just what is Sara planning and what does Takuma have in mind? Has their relationship changed? It’s not surprising that Kaname knows where Takuma is. I don’t think anything escapes him.
  • The most interesting part of the chapter has to be the other sleeping purebloods. Who are they, and where will they stand when they are awaken? (I’m pretty sure they they will be.) Just how many pureblood families are there?
  • What’s the story with the ancestor? What happened before his slumber? Why was he in such despair? I hope we get to find out more about him soon.
  • I really hope that the next chapter will have the trio meeting – we haven’t seen them together in so long! I really want to know how they would react to each other’s presence. Also, will we get to see Shiki and Rima during the ball? We haven’t seen them in a while.

The next chapter will be out on 24th August, and it will be 40 pages long with colour pages. Please continue to support Hino-sensei by buying the manga!

In other news, Viz Media has licensed the VK anime! There’s not much information about it yet, and I’m not sure if VK Guilty is included in their license as well. But still, it’s good news for those wishing to own the DVDs, but not getting the Japanese releases because they can’t understand it. :)

Hopefully this will be useful to those who want to collect all of them! The biting parts need to be verified though. (Please let me know if there are any mistakes!)

[List of CGs]

If you need help with the game, there’s a pretty useful guide here. I also found a map of the Cross Gakuen grounds here, which would be useful for people like me who keep wondering where they are while patrolling. XD You can play the game even if you don’t know Japanese, but some knowledge of the language would be really useful when it comes to understanding the dialogue and making your choices.

There are 2 tracks, the first is the actual drama itself, and the other one is a free talk corner with the seiyuus. It will be up on the media page soon, so keep checking back! :)

The next issue of Lala will feature VK on the cover, and the furoku is a VK passcase. I like the design, just that I’m not so sure how I feel about the pink colour that the pascase is…

Sagakure will be scanlating the fanbook in batches, and I’ll update this post with the links as they are posted.

Scanlations: Part 1

Alessia-chan has posted scans of the prologue, and her post is here.

I loved what I’ve seen so far! Hopefully our local publisher will have the rights to translate the book. It’s tempting to get the original, Japanese version, but with the amount of text in there, I think I’ll have an easier time reading if it’s in English or Chinese. ^^;

Enjoy the scans, and do remember to thank the kind people who posted them! Please support Hino-sensei by buying the book! (When it gets translated, if you prefer it in English. :))

]]> http://vk.dreamful.org/2008/11/15/vk-character-contest-1/feed/ 0 Zero Panel! http://vk.dreamful.org/2008/10/27/zero-panel/ http://vk.dreamful.org/2008/10/27/zero-panel/#comments Sun, 26 Oct 2008 16:39:45 +0000 valerie http://vk.dreamful.org/?p=123 I found this on one of the posts on the Vampire Knight blog. This life-sized Zero panel was made in commemoration of the release of volume 8 of the manga, as well as season 2 of the anime. It’s currently on display in bookstores around Japan, and a list of places is provided in their post. (I so wish I could see this! I’ll be standing there, staring and drooling. XD) Assuming that I didn’t read the last sentence wrongly, it urges the readers not the strip Zero of his uniform, because they’d be at a loss otherwise. I think they should be more worried about people carrying Zero off instead. XD
