This volume advances a lot of the plotlines previously introduced: Tohru tries to find out how to break the curse, much to Rin's chagrin; Haru confronts Rin about her behaviour (the [...] tension between these two is HOT); Yuki gets to know the other student council members a little better (the most boring part of the storyline for me); and Kyô finally talks to Kagura, so you find out how their relationship started. There are quite a lot of dark moments, but Ayame, the ill-matched student council members, Uo-chan and Hana-chan help keep things light (Hana's crush on Kyô's father is extremely amusing).

For those of you who've been missing Hatori, this will definitely be one of your favourite volumes, as we finally get the backstory between him and Mayuko, the mysterious woman who went up with Shigure. (Shigure is beginning to get seriously annoying with all his scheming.) Meanwhile, Tohru and the younger Sohmas are at the beach. Yuki and Kyô both begin to realise how they feel and to come to terms with their feelings. ("Finally!" some of you may cry.)

I eagerly awaited this volume after coming late to the series and ploughing through the previous thirteen volumes at lightning speed ... and the same went for this one. I snapped it up and couldn't put it down until I'd finished it!
Mysterious and beautiful, Isuzu 'Rin' Sohma is at the centre of the unfolding events throughout most of this volume. It's great to learn about her backstory, which certainly one of the most dramatic and sad out of all the Sohmas (and that's saying something, since they all have their fair share of trauma!). Accordingly, the tone in both the writing and the art is darker than much of what has gone before, which made for a 'style departure' of sorts which I was pleasantly surprised by. (Not that the darkness ... Read More:

Having introduced us to the rabbit, dragon (seahorse), rat, cat, dog, boar and cow of the zodiac, it's time to meet a few new people.
Specifically, it's time to meet the sinister head of the family, and the heretofore unknown snake of the zodiac. And while the fourth volume of "Fruits Basket" is extremely funny and kooky, Natsuki Takaya introduces us to some of the darker, more tragic dimensions of her characters.
Momiji and Haru have just entered high school with Tohru, Kyo and Yuki. The class president makes trouble for a gender-bending Momiji -- and almost gets throttled by "black" Haru -- but otherwise things are going well. Then Akito suddenly shows up, and while he initially seems friendly to Tohru ("You really are cute!"), ... Read More:
