Another great volume from this brilliant story. I'm hoping to finish it by tonight since there are only 2 volumes left. What I love about this manga is it's so easy to read and it makes you want to keep reading since you want to know what happens to the characters. It's getting towards the end now too so things are starting to get binge-worthy, just like the show was.

I really loved this series. The characters are all unforgettable and I loved each one of them. This series can be really emotional too and really funny at times. I'm a little disappointed though that this series had ended. It also made me cry and gets me really emotional, especially towards the end.

Oh the angst! This volumes begins with Kyo expounding on his feelings regarding Kyoko's death. He's convinced that Tohru's mother hates him and can't forgive himself. It is for that reason that he disappeared into the mountains with Shisou in the months before he met Tohru. There's some great pages with Tohru tearfully declaring that she doesn't care and that she still loves Kyo. Kyo, ever Mr. Tactful, ends the discussion with "I'm disillusioned."
Then the soap opera gets deeper. Akito, soon after she stabbed Kureno in a rage, confronts Tohru. Tohru, not surprisingly bears few grudges and offers to be friends with Akito. Akito doesn't know what to say. Before she has the opportunity to respond, the ground opens up and Tohru falls off a cliff and is gravely injured. Now if that's not overdramatic, I don't know what is.
We get a few minutes of relative normalcy at the end when Yuki goes on a date with Machi and confesses his love for her. I still think it's weird that Yuki thinks of Tohru as his mother, although I suppose I understand. Regardless, it's nice to see Yuki happy with someone. He always thought himself worthless and alone.
I wouldn't say this was my favorite volume. A lot certainly happened, but it was silly bordering on ridiculous. Obviously, a book about people who transform into Zodiac animals is not realistic fiction, but sometimes you can push the drama too far.

Though I've read many, many more books, this is the 500th I've read here on Goodreads.

I have read the cute, heartbreaking story of Fruits Basket years ago. And I read it about 3 or 4 times, maybe more. The story is a bit cliche, but the characters are memorable.
A story about closed off loners that broken, depressed and sad individuals hoping for a happiness they could never achieve. Each characters deals with the pain and loneliness differently, learning how to embrace happiness and bloom into individuals they never thought they could be.
Its beautifully written, heartwarming, with relatable emotions anyone can feel. This is one any manga avid reader should go through at least once. A classic that should honestly be recommend by anyone.
Do I recommend it:
