Was wondering about the manga, since so many positive reviews were given and was hoping I found another hidden gem, but no, for me it was a simple above average manga, which was kinda sad with all those hyped reviews.
The manga has so many flaws that it would take multiple posts just to describe it, so I just won't even start.
Out of positive - it's a decent romance shounen with a story that can touch your heart.. also if it had less 'horror' elements I would even call it shoujo, since it was so sugarcoated and innocent looking big time.
All in all it's Type Moon and their style of 'emotionless' characters trying to understand emotions etc etc...
Not that I dislike the manga and the plot didn't touch me at all - it did, but saying it's very good is overpraising it, there are much better manga series out there for that 'very good' place.
My opinion may be a bit biased, since romance is not really the type of manga I prefer, but even among the few romance manga series I read - it wasn't something special. I certainly will forget this series rather fast, it gets 7/10 from me, although it was a struggle between 6 and 7
If you are also familiar with the Fate series check out Carnival Phantasm, it's a parody crossover between Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night.

Pretty much my thoughts summed up exactly. Halfway through I was just plodding on in order to get to the finish. It seems Type Moon stuff is pretty formulaic, and it didn't even intrigue me the first time (-Fate-). The ending was decent, I suppose. I'd give it a 6.5/10.

as a person who have read the VN and played the 5 routes i would say that this manga has fantastic adaptation. it follows the arcued's route taking some aspects of others routes.
i personally love this ending more than the true ending of the novel (they had to be together)
Arcueid damm girl! you made me cry again!
One day we'll have also a proper anime adaptation.
it could happen someday maybe after the tsukihime remake in 20XX
Hopefully after the Heavens Feel Movies.

I have a a question:
In the Satsujinki section, Sensei mentioned that Shiki can live longer since he cheated death (or something like that). Does that mean that Shiki has been living more than the normal human life span?
And Ciel too
No, Shiki going die faster than normal human because he use MEoDP often

Does the part where Shiki goes to free Arcueid actually happen in any of the visual novel endings?
It doesn't in the original Tsukuhime
There if you chose the option that appears on second playthrough Arcueid will just appear the next day at the road to school. However I think that a story like the one from the doujin I linked abive was in Kagetsu Tohya (a spin-off of Tsukihime rather loosely tied with it by the characters and some of the events) and that breaking into the castle would be an obvious result.
