➽ Sadly, the story didn't get me invested. First off, the art style didn't work for me, some characters like Yuki looked way too perfect. I know this is an older Manga, so this style was probably popular, but I personally didn't vibe with it. I also didn't really connect with the Sohma boys Yuki, Kyo and Shigure. They're nice enough, but with a character-driven Manga I need to be attached to them, to want to continue a series. I don't need a ton of action, but I wasn't hooked by how the premise played out and don't have any interest in seeing more. I might give the Anime a chance, as I know so many people love this series, but I didn't care for the hints of romance we got.
Minor: Grief and Death of parent

Graphic: Toxic relationship
Moderate: Bullying and Death of parent
Note: the toxic relationship tag is for specific familial relationships that show up in this book and future ones in the series, and is not a reference to a romantic relationship of any of the main leads.
