Geeky Confessions

First off, WHY THE FRICK did this take so damn long to finish?

Second, OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMG ZEKI!!!! And Kaname ships it!!!!

Ok, now I'll be serious. I actually really liked this ending. I thought it was a beautiful, poignant ending for such a manga as this one. The open-endedness...now was that really to be unexpected judging by how Hino-sensei treats this manga?

My judgement? The kids are both Zeki's. What they mean by "our other father" is that Kaname sustained this relationship, has seemingly guarded over Zeki in his death, and Yuki will always have a special place in her heart for him. In essence, they exist not only because Yuki and Zero had them, but because of Kaname's legacy and love for Yuki as well.

Also, what is this crap about Yuki picking Kaname over Zero in the end? Although I'm a 110% Zeki shipper, I am pleased with this ending because it satisfies both sides. Yuki DID NOT pick Kaname over Zero. She loves both. Zero died because he wasn't a pureblood vampire and couldn't live forever, so Yuki didn't really have much to live for after that. It made sense to me that she would give up her life at that point for Kaname, who was more than her lover but family and basically her entire being, to experience the wonderful human life HE had blessed her with in the first place. I think Yuki has a very different kind of love for both Zero and Kaname. For Zero, it's more of the type of love we humans experience with our significant others. For Kaname, her love is more like that of family and of pure adoration. It's difficult for me to describe her love for Kaname, but I don't think it's entirely based on the kind of love we see between married people. It's deeper and more time-transcending. Either way, it's not like one love is greater than the other. Love is love.
