Review:
I guess this takes place during the time that Kaname is asleep,
though parts are background and future; it's a bit mixed together.
The volume opens with Sayori, as we get to see her first impression
of Yuki, and on through her life as Yuki's friend, as she grows older
and they don't. Seeing her relationship with Hanabusa develop is
really sweet, as he's a character I've always enjoyed, even if you
know it'll be bittersweet.
We see glimpses of the other vampires, as they go on with their
lives. We see Yuki and Zero as their relationship gets time to
develop; they're always around each other, even if they're
conflicted. And we get to see Yuki's kids as they grow older, Ai and
Ren, as they wait for Kaname to wake up and tell him what's happened.
While the differences in timeline didn't really bother me, some of
the story still felt a little off. I don't know if it's that Ren and
Ai seemed under-developed or if I just didn't really care for them.
And then Yuki and Zero's relationship... After everything with
Kaname, I'm still conflicted on how I feel about them.
I'm going to read more, but I would like Hino to move onto something
else, start a new story. I think I'm over this series, maybe.
