I have no idea how, but this was even worse than the first volume! Thirty pages into it I almost put it down, but I forced myself to finish it, and let me tell you, I'm sorry that I even picked it up. The writing is so atrocious I don't even know how anyone likes this. The characters are all annoying except for the cat, who's only fun because he's the only character that I don't feel like choking with a fork. Rather, I think he wants to choke everyone in this manga with a fork, which is the reason I like him.

When I finished the first volume, I hated it. But I thought maybe it got better. Sometimes it only gets good after a few books. I had up to volume 6 on my to-read list. After this, I'm taking them all off. There is no way I can stomach more of this.

The idea is fun, however, it's executed very badly. The whole hugging thing is just stupid. What a dumb way for them to change. It would be sooooooo much cooler if they were just shape-shifters.

The first time we see Tohru and her hat, I didn't put two and two together that the young boy had been Kyo and he was the one to save her. I know this is explained in further detail in a later volume, but I loved how Tohru said the young boy had been her first love.

When I had first read the series, I shipped Tohru and Kyo because I liked how cute and loving the two of them were towards one another. Being able to read that story from the begining again is wonderful and I can't wait to rediscover how their relationship blossoms into what it will become.
