The reason I gave this such a low review was due to Katsuya and Kyoko Handa's relationship. Though there was a sweetness to it, it was disgusting that Kyoko was in her last year of middle school (which I believe would be equivalent to 9th grade in the US, so 13 or 14) and she was in a relationship with Katsuya who was working as a teacher at her school. I cannot stand these sort of pedophilic supporting relationship people espouse. They could have achived the same effect by making Kyoko a bit older.

I am slowly but surely completing the series! (Rereading them/collecting them!) This one spends a lot of time with Tohru’s parents and I’ll admit I don’t LOVE their storyline. (It’s just a bit weird/gives me the ick.) But this volume also focuses a lot on Yuki and Kyo’s inner monologues which I love.
Onto number 9!

I think Tohru might be the only one without a hugely traumatic past full of abuse and stuff.

I love how packed with emotions this was, but storyline wise, it felt like one of the weaker volumes. I do dock review points for Tohru's parents backstory as well. Nothing about it sat right with me as a reader, her being a middle schooler and him being a teacher, and it wasn't written very realistically at all. I mean, he fell in love with a 13 year old because she cried and was emotionally vulnerable? Odd.
