Script error: No such module "portal-inline".

Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a Japanese manga series written by Matsuri Hino. It was serialized in Hakusensha's Script error: No such module "lang". manga magazine LaLa from 2004 to 2013, with its chapters collected in nineteen Script error: No such module "lang". volumes. The manga series is licensed in English by Viz Media, which has released all nineteen volumes. The English adaptation was serialized in Viz Media's Shojo Beat manga magazine from 2006 to 2009.

The story takes place in the prestigious Cross Academy, which is home to two distinct classes: The Day class, which applies to only humans, and the Night Class, which applies to only vampires, of which the day class is unaware. Much of the plot revolves around Yuki Cross, the headmaster's adopted daughter, as she is being drawn into a conflict concerning the overall coexistence between humans and vampires and the twisted reality concerning her childhood friend Zero Kiryuu, who, despite having a hatred for vampires, is revealed to be slowly turning into one of their kind.

Two drama CDs were created for the series, as well as a twenty-six episode anime adaptation based on the first two sagas. Produced by Studio Deen, the anime series' first season aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between April and July 2008. The second season, aired on the same station from October to December 2008. The anime adaptation was licensed for release in North America by Viz Media.

Plot

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Ten years ago, Yuki was rescued from a vampire attack on a winter night by Kaname Kuran, a Pureblood vampire. She now lives with the headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, as his adopted daughter, and she serves as a school guardian. Her job is to protect the Day Class students and conceal the fact that the Night Class is composed of vampires. She works alongside her childhood friend, Zero Kiryu, who is also a guardian. Zero resents vampires because they destroyed his family. His attitude contrasts with the academy's official goal of achieving peaceful coexistence between humans and vampires. This fragile peace is constantly tested, raising questions about the vampires' true intentions and the potential dangers of the arrangement, with Yuki's forgotten past closely tied to these tensions.
