I like the art (of course) and the characterization, in other words I like that it's good well-articulate shoujo.

The plot is a bit slow and depressing and by the latest scanlated chapter the main conflict, that

Spoiler for Info revealed in first several chapters:

Zero will slowly become mindless and bloodthirsty,

hasn't progressed at all. There was the time when

Spoiler for Events in the series:

he could have cured myself if he'd been able to drink the blood of that woman, but he didn't have the chance, and now she'd dead, lol...

And just this recently scanlated chapter we've learned that

Spoiler:

the effects could be reduced by drinking another pureblood's blood, but that's not a cure, so that situation could only ever serve to drew this whole thing out longer.

I personally don't like Kaname, yeah...

Spoiler for About Kaname:

He's the type of character where he's supposed to have a dark side but you empathize with his character somehow. Sort of like Shigure in Fruits Basket?

Maybe if the bishounen factor were one that existed for me, I'd feel that, but I don't.

Also, Yuki being so completely indecisive about how she feel about anything related to Zero or Kaname kinda throws me off, it's like I have no basis for how to think about the love triangle plot. (Kinda like Fruits Basket I guess, except that I don't follow Fruits Basket for romance, in fact I don't care for romance between Tohru and any of the characters in that series.) I like shoujo that is less subjective and less totally focused on how the characters think they might feel about one another at any given time.

But it's still a good series that I enjoy following, and I'd be able to read it at this pace for a while yet before I became tired.
