A review by cheoelm
Fruits Basket, Vol. 8 by Natsuki Takaya

5.0

This is the first volume we get a glimpse of Rin and how Hatsuharu has feelings for her, albeit it's a very brief glimpse of Rin that we get.

We meet Ritsu and I love how Tohru's compassion is able to calm them down to the point that they're wanting to meet someone to eat takoyaki with. As the series progresses, we see just how Tohru's kindness affects the Sohmas and how she is able to help them become happier with themselves just by being herself.
