About the Author

Matsuri Hino burst onto the manga scene with her title Kono Yume ga Sametara (When This Dream Is Over), which was published in LaLa DX magazine. Hino was a manga artist a mere nine months after she decided to become one.

With the success of her popular series Captive Hearts, MeruPuri and Vampire Knight, Hino is a major player in the world of shojo manga.

Hino enjoys creative activities and has commented that she would have been either an architect or an apprentice to traditional Japanese craftsmasters if she had not become a manga artist.

Editorial Reviews

Gr 9 Up—This collection of beautiful drawings based on the popular manga Vampire Knight is breathtaking. Large, full-color pictures fill the book, including a foldout of the cover. Many of the drawings first appeared in LaLa magazine and a few illustrations were revised before being placed in the art book. In true manga form, it reads right to left, and the back of the book, or front as non-manga readers may see it, has a message from the author. The index includes thoughts about each drawing from the author. This oversize compilation has some sexually suggestive scenes. If manga circulates, this collector's item is a must-have purchase.—Mariela Siegert, Westfield Middle School, Bloomingdale, IL
