I like that we get to meet a new Sohma every volume. There are so many characters that it would be overwhelming, so the fact that she eases us into such a large family is a really good move on her part. I also like the pacing of the series- it’s paced pretty evenly, and the plot moves along pretty well.

There’s the requisite fan art at the end, plus we have 2 pages devoted to 2 different years of the zodiac. One page covers the year of the dragon, and the other page is about the year of the ox. As usual, I like the artwork, and it something tht keeps getting better as the series progresses.

Rating: Another 5 out of 5. My love of Fruits Basket gets stronger with each volume.

Still a bit preachy. But effectively made me interested in some characters. More so than I was previously.

Hatori's story was the saddest of all! :(

Another enjoyable continuation of the story, with some new characters. I'm glad she eased in the cast so that I could get to know each character, otherwise I think I'd have been overwhelmed a long time ago by it all.

El histrionismo ha hecho su aparición. Y, a pesar de mis expectativas tras escuchar diferentes comentarios siempre que comparo a Kyo, Tooru y Yuki con Jack, Victoria y Kirtash, es un tomo full similar en sus dinámicas de tira y afloja entre los tres. 

I like that Takaya flushed out Uo-chan's story. This was probably my favorite volume so far.
