Mid volume. Some funny stuff, but it's more the calm before the drama storm kicks in again.

How cute :3

Ayamé qui appelle Hatori dès que Yuki lui dit quelque chose de gentil.. I'm ded.
Yuki est cute, mais je ship Tohru et Kyo, definitely.

I just wanna get cosy under a blanket and binge read the rest of the series. 😭

a lengthy volume with not a lot happening...

as the end of the year approaches, tohru, yuki, kyo, and momiji become pensive about the future. hatsuharu goes black and busts up a classroom, but the reason why is quite intriguing. then the lovely ritsu (monkey) shows up in a kimono and shocks tohru with a shocking surprise, as well as screeching a lot.

aaya shows up with peaches, offering to fill in at yuki's parent teacher conference, and is hilarious. school ends, and the gang heads to a haunted house to jump-start their summer freedom. tohru is terrified (wimpy) and needs to be comforted.

at the end, we get a flash of hiro visiting the mysterious rin in the hospital.
