[The first volume will also feature the appearance of Yuki's children.]

Hino is launching a new Vampire Knight manga series in the July issue of the LaLa DX magazine on June 10. LaLa DX lists the new manga's title as simply Vampire Knight.

Since Hino formally ended Vampire Knight in May 2013, she published several extra chapters of the series in 2013-2015. It is currently unclear if Vampire Knight memories' first volume will feature these extra chapters, chapters from the upcoming new series launching in LaLa DX, other material, or a combination.

The June issue of AneLaLa also published Hino's "Mattete Darling!!!" (Wait Darling!!!) one-shot manga. The one-shot is featured on the cover in the image above right.

Hino launched Vampire Knight in LaLa in 2004, and Hakusensha published the 19th and final compiled book volume in November 2013. Viz Media published the final volume in North America in October 2014. Viz also released the 2008 Vampire Knight anime series and its Vampire Knight Guilty followup. The manga has also inspired two stage plays.

The manga revolves around Yūki, a high school girl whose unique school features a "day class" of normal kids and a "night class" of vampires. She works with her adopted father and headmaster to prove that vampires can coexist with humans peacefully, but the school — and the vampires — hide many secrets.

Viz Media is also publishing Hino's two-volume Shuriken and Pleats manga in North America. The company also previously published her Wanted, Captive Hearts, and MeruPuri - The Marchen Prince manga in English.​
