Shuriken and Pleats Vol 2

[eternalpassions]

Just wanted to share this with yume fans. I guess there is an AU where yume ended up together and happily shown in Shuriken to Pleats. Yuuki was able to save her true love and it’s implied they’d have a life together :)

When I say Hino changed the direction of her story somewhere along the way I’m not just talking lol. This manga I believe has to original direction Hino intended and was too afraid to continue. I think Shuriken to Pleats was her vampire knight AU where she wrote her original vision of the story or at least an AU ending where Kaname is saved by his heroine and he chooses to live on with her instead of giving himself over to grief and guilt

This is Zero’s role was supposed to be:

Just dropping this too:

I am the same anon , who sent the earlier ask , the reason I think so , are actually two , first her relationship with zero might get in the way of loving Kaname fully again , or feeling like she shouldn't be with him as he is already free of his dark past , the second reason being the tiredness from the long life , this time they might still have a hard time opening up to each other , with Yuki trying to avoid revealing too much of his past and kaname wanting to know , her presence would trigger memories, if it happened that she too lost her memories then they might work it out , otherwise it might take a lot of work from Kaname's side .

Hi thanks for elaborating your idea. Allow me to share my opinion.

First case is unlikely to happen because as we have seen so far, Yuki that we know as a character, is not that selfless of a person.

She is quite selfish actually. (IDK if this is the correct term, maybe I prefer to call her practical, skeptic, or unromantic). Even when Kaname's 'corpse' in the ice was still fresh and beautiful, she still proceed with the idea of marrying Zero lmao. And Zero is just her second love interest! Now that Zero has turned into ash , I don't think she will think twice if given chance to be with Kaname again, her number one love interest. Especially when she has been through this same problem once, and Kaname didn't make a fuss out of it, even said that her feelings for Zero were partly his fault for leaving her with him.

As for the second case, I'd say it's possible. It was the case of side effects I was talking about in the previous post and perhaps it could be VKM's (or another sequel...) new conflict. From this point we have two branch of possibilities which are the sad ending for YuMe (where they continue life on their own path) or the reunite of YuMe (this time without a third party)

I am betting more on the good ending simply because based on my personal observation, the author favored YuMe so much. She admitted it herself in her commentaries under YuMe art, even creating her new series: Shuriken no Pleats based on Yuki and Kaname. (young girl being bodyguard for older lover, the similarities are haunting.). I know this sounds like a "trust me, bro" and I must admit it kinda is hahahahaha, but for me, observing an author's pattern (or a person in general) in their work is integral in guessing their next move. It is shown that several authors have repeated their favorite tropes at all times, this is listed as 'common tropes' in the author's page on TV Tropes site.

The other reason is because YuMe has always been the central plot for VK, removing it means removing the main conflict/theme of the story.

Still, this long post is merely a prediction. Let's hope we will get a satisfying ending no matter what the outcome is.

"In the future and in the past, a unique connection exists for all eternity" (caption made by the author, confirming YuMe as the main theme)

The Story

The story is about a young ninja who is looked after by her master.

The story sounds promising, but the series cannot decide on its setting and events. At first, it is set in Meji era Japan. But then it decides it's modern day by the end of the first chapter and then goes back and forth throughout the manga.

The story itself is original, but the art and setting is what makes it mediocre at best.

The Characters

None of the characters are very memorable, except for Mikage. But even she's quite forgettable compared to other main characters from other series.

The Art

The art is what ruins the series for me. It is inconsistent in it's backgrounds and events that it makes the series a confusing mess.

The character designs are quite good, except for Mikage who looks exactly like Yuki from Vampire Knight (after the time skip).

Final Thoughts

Overall, this volume was okay. I've only reviewed the first manga because the series has a satisfying enough ending that I'm not going to bother reading the second volume. If you're looking for a short series and don't mind the mild inconsistencies, you'll enjoy this manga. But I only suggest that you only rent this.

Shuriken and Pleats Vol 1

[eternalpassions]

Waiting for your man to get over his dead ex vibes lol. Similarities in how Yuuki and mikage adore the man they love. Never being able to hate their beloved. Thinking their is something wrong with them for the way they feel. Their beloved grieving over their lost love and the heroine being a little jealous. Love triangle between heroine, male love interest and his dead female lover
