Tohru tries helping out the latest Zodiac member introduced (Ritsu), Yuki tries helping Haru out and plans for the future are brought up- overall a fun Volume.

Bit confused by the ending (still trying to grasp some of the characters) but still enjoyed this one, sometimes the story felt flat but overall I enjoyed how much was happening throughout this one. I like how there's some really diverse characters in this one (I.e. Ritsu) and it was nice to finally meet a new character!
Kyo and Hatsuharu are still my favs ❤️

Oh oh! And I just got a new (plastic) Fruits Basket ruler/ bookmark and I'm excited to use it for the series! Yay! :D

Still enjoyed this volume despite one scene that I didn’t like. It was when Ritsu explained why he acts like a woman (because he’s always been weak and clumsy) and I nearly lost it. It’s implying that women are weak and clumsy. It’s a typical stereotype and I hate it.
