As an infant, Yuki Sakurai was abandoned by his mother, left in the bushes near an orphanage. The mystery of his parentage deepens when Yuki discovers he has a strange ability: when he touches others, he can feel their emotions. Often, his uncontrolled power has led him to make insensitive blunders in the past. Because of this, the teenage Yuki strives to be independent without being a burden on anyone. Little does he know that he has never really been alone. Someone has been watching him from the shadows ever since he was left in the bushes all those years ago... But can Yuki trust the silver-eyed boy who claims to be his protector...and to know the truth of Yuki's past?

There's two main features of this series which drew me in. The first being the art; Hotaru Odagiri's style, at least for this series, is very like that of Matsuri Hino and Kaori Yuki, two of my favourite manga creators. It seems quite certain that Odagiri has drawn inspiration from the series' 'Vampire Knight' and 'Angel Sanctuary'. I myself own both of the 'Angel Sanctuary' Art Books and all of the illustrations for 'The Betrayal Knows my name' look like they were drawn with these art books propped up in front of the artist. They use similar poses, themes and colours; chains, bondage in red ribbons and white bandages, Gothic jewelery, open militaristic shirts and etc.
The influences from 'Vampire Knight' might even be stronger in some images. Odagiri's illustrations, constantly, place the characters in variations of black-and-white uniforms that often look startlingly close to that of Cross Academy. The white uniforms have similar black stitching and there are even silver rose-shaped buttons and motifs in some pictures.
This may sound like an odd point to begin critiquing the series on but the aesthetics are too striking not to mention at length. There was one illustration in particular which was so reminiscent of 'Vampire Knight' that I wondered whether it wandered into the realms of outright copying. I couldn't find an image that was exactly the same though, when I checked through 'Vampire Knight.'
I personally don't mind the cannibalistic nature of manga and anime too much, provided it does not fall into the category of undeniable plagiarism, and it was the artistic similarities which drew me to the series. I was curious about what kind of story this author had created, given her obvious artistic influences.... Read more ›
