Creator
A former bookstore shopkeeper, 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 became a manga artist a mere nine months after she decided to become one.
With the success of her popular series Toraware no Minoue (Captive Hearts), and MeruPuri, Hino has established herself as a major player in the world of shojo manga. Her new title, Vampire Knight, currently runs in monthly LaLa magazine.
Hino enjoys creative activities, and has commented that she would have been either an architect or an apprentice to traditional Japanese craft masters if she did not become a manga artist.

Volumes
[Manga]
Status in Japan :: still running with 17 volumes so far
Status in US :: 15/? released
Volume 1
Yuki Cross has no memory of her past prior to the moment she was saved from a vampire attack ten years ago. She was adopted by the headmaster of Cross Academy, and now works alongside Zero to guard the Academy's secret. Yuki believes that vampires and humans can coexist peacefully, but her partner has different ideas...
Volume 2
Outside the safe boundary of the academy, Yuki is attacked by a vampire. Injured and unable to defend herself, two Night Class students come to her aid and kill the vampire. When Yuki asks them why they killed their own kind, they tell her to come to the Moon Dormitory at midnight to learn the answer...
Volume 3
Kaname, the pureblood vampire, has kept to his room since learning of Yuki and Zero's forbidden act. However, the arrival of Ichijo's grandfather brings the entire Night Class together to greet one of the oldest vampires on the senate. Ichijo's grandfather says he's there merely to visit his grandson, but he's out for Kaname's blood.
Volume 4
Zero warns Yuki to stay away from Maria Kurenai, the new Night Class transfer student, although he won't tell Yuki why. Kaname is also wary, and he sends Ichijo to watch Maria so she doesn't start trouble. Who is this girl, and why does she have the entire Night Class on edge?
Volume 5
Zero is suspected of killing Shizuka Hio, the pureblood vampire who murdered his family. Incensed, the vampire senate sends assassins to Cross Academy to execute him. Will the Night Class intervene, or will Kaname let Zero take the fall?
Volume 6
Yuki sneaks into an exclusive vampire party and sees Aido's parents introducing their daughter to Kaname. They, like many other Night Class parents, desire an alliance with the pureblood. Kaname is the most eligible bachelor in the vampire society--but will he choose Yuki?
Volume 7
Yuki debates asking Kaname about her past, suspecting that he may have been the one who erased her childhood memories. Zero confronts Kaname to find out the truth, and the two come to blows over Yuki...
Volume 8
After trying to recall her past, Yuki's hallucinations become more vivid and she tries to strangle Zero during a fit of madness. Locked in her room, all she can see is a world dyed in blood, but Kaname comes for her. He tells her it's time to wake up and sinks his fangs into her neck…
Volume 9
A war among vampires has started at Cross Academy, and even Day Class students are being attacked. Kaname finally reveals his hidden plan to Zero, and Zero must choose on which side he will fight. But in order for Zero to defeat the enemy, he will have to take part in an atrocious act...
Volume 10
Rido is gone, but the battle rages on at Cross Academy. The Night Class is still under attack, and Headmaster Cross has joined the war to protect his students. Zero, however, has vowed to get rid of all the Purebloods--including Yuki!
Volume 11
The Night Class at Cross Academy has been abolished. Zero still attends the Day Class while carrying out his duties as a vampire hunter. Yuki now lives hidden away at the Kuran residence with Kaname, but can she embrace the life of a pureblood vampire?
Volume 12
It's been one year since Yuki left Cross Academy with Kaname, and tonight is her first vampire soirée as a pureblood. Her best friend Sayori has snuck into the party to see her, but will Yuki and Zero be able to protect a human girl amid a bevy of vampires?
Volume 13
Yuki is attacked by another pureblood outside a graveyard for meddling in the ways of the vampire society. Injured, she returns home to Kaname, who shares with her his past memories and the truth behind the Kuran family.
Volume 14
The Vampire Hunter Society has imprisoned Aido in order to interrogate him about Kaname’s connection to Sara Shirabuki. Meanwhile, Yuki wants a fresh start with Kaname, but circumstances arise that may force them apart.
Volume 15
With Kaname missing, Yuki must now step in as acting head of her clan to maintain the fragile peace between the human and vampire societies. Will she be able to regain the trust of the vampire aristocrats, much less Aido?

I usually go to Wikipedia when I want to know how many volumes said series will have.
Sometimes they don't have it though >.<
And...from what I read, Vampire Knight is also going to be pretty short, like MeruPuri was.
-->(There's supposed to be 5 volumes.)<--
Edit: Y'all are right. It's possibly 6 and on going. (Source: Wiki - VampireKnight)

As in 8 volumes total for the VK series? If the series is going to be short, I hope the story ends on a satisfying note. So far the series is getting really good, especially Yuki's relationship with Zero and Kaname.

.: ♫ :: 永遠を夢見てた安保頃の僕らはいつまでも離れずに抱き合って笑ってた
Well, there may only be that many volumes that are currently out in Japan.
Many Manga begin their US release before they are completed in Japan, but if you want to get better detail try finding a fan site for manga-ka or the manga it's self there will be more info there and be updated quicker than wikipedia.
Have dreamed of eternity I of security time forever without leaving, to hold, you have laughed :: ♫ :.

I've heard 12 volumes O___o;;;
I really woudn't mind that length becuz where I'm at [vol 5] there's alot more to it but I think 8 is more reasonable.
Luv to Kaname

I like Aido. He's my favorite out of the guys.. Oh and the headmaster dude... but that one's a little awkward for me you know... I don't know.. *sigh* I can't wait till next month because my sister will quit harrassing me with, "When is volume 2 coming out?!" Little does she know that i get the magazine every month and read it there...

Kaname for the win. stare
I dunno, Zero is okay....
It's just...there are so so many "brooding self-loathing thinking nobody'll love them until the main girl does" types....
In other words.... Kaname is less angsty and seems like he'd treat Yuki well. 3nodding
