Vampire Knight and Nightschool: The Weirn Books, vol. 1 are similar graphic novels about two paranormal schools that consist of a day class full of boring normal students and a night class full of not-so-normal students.


In Nightschool: The Weirn Books, vol. 1, by Svetlana Chmakova, you will meet Alex Treveney, a young weirn (or witch) whose sister Sarah is the gatekeeper at a regular school, and whose job is to ensure the day class (full of normal students) doesn't discover that at night werewolves, vampires, and other magical beings are taught there in secret.

While Sarah is working the night shift, Alex and her Astral, her "pet" spirit, head out into the night for some "Vampires in their natural habitat" observation, hey...she has a Night Speciology Report due. What she discovers is a young human/vampire couple attacked by Rippers, beings beyond a regular vampire, described as "nothing but darkness. Can't breathe, can't eat, can't even die properly. It's not even blood they want...it's life. A taste, any taste." Enter Hunters, skilled fighters entitled with the job of protecting the innocent from these horrible creatures. Let battle ensue.

With an interesting turn of events you will find there's something dark and powerful about Alex, something she isn't even aware of, and why is there suddenly no trace of Sarah ever working at the school? Alex calls via magical mirror and is told nobody by her name has ever worked for the school...huh? Follow Alex as she ventures into the Nightschool to get to the bottom of this. Nightschool: The Weirn Books, vol. 1 is something you can't miss.

In Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino, you will enter the Cross Academy, a private school which consists of a Day Class and a Night Class. Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the Headmaster, has no memory of her life before the event of a vampire attack as a child, when she was saved by the vampire Kaname.

Similarly, Zero Kiryu was orphaned when his family was viciously killed by vampires four years ago. Taken in by the Headmaster, he and Yuki stand as the school's disciplinary committee, charged with guarding the school's secret...the Night Class is full of vampires.

Yuki believes that vampires and humans can co-exist, while Zero only wants to learn their weaknesses so he knows the best way to take them down. With Xocolatl's Day approaching, this odd pair must work together while the Day Class girls give chocolates to Night Class boys they are sweet on. Only, can they keep the giddy girls from becoming the sweet treat of the hungry boys? Plus, what's the deal between Night Class President Kaname and Yuki, and was that a chocolate Yuki gave him? Also, why is Zero suddenly acting strange and locked up in the bathroom; too many chocolates? Check out your copy of Vampire Knight today and find out!
