A review by lcgerstmann
Fruits Basket, Vol. 19 by Natsuki Takaya
5.0
*spoilers*
Oh my Lord, the scene where Tohru is hanging laundry and Kyo hugs her through the sheet, holy crap, that one panel illustration is etched in my brain forever, it conveyed such intense emotion, love, desperation, confusion, pain.... My heart fluttered and my eyes teared! I love them!
As a side note, I was so happy that Momiji "grew" both in size and maturity. Now he looks like a "real" male character instead of the weird cross-dressing boy/man goofy character he started as, which was fine when he was the sweet comic relief, but now his story with his mom and sister and his secret love for Tohru is complex and sad and his growth will make taking him and his story seriously easier.
Oh, Shigure, what are you thinking? Really, of all the girls in the world to want, you picked the most f'd up one! There is really nothing about Akito that is likable or even redeemable so, I don't get it, but at least we now know what all of those sly secret smiles were for. Shigure is one of my favorite characters and you can't help but want the characters you love to have a HEA, but with "her", it's a stretch. :(
Summary: this volume was amazing. Read this series!!!!!!
