Forgot that I was rereading this and decided to pick it up again! Really enjoyed the first half of this, Rin was always one of my favourite characters so it's fun to see more of her (even though she has a sad backstory). I didn't care as much about the second half. I'm realising more and more with this reread that I don't really care about Yuki all that much.

Ola, o meu nome é Iria e NON apoio o incesto. A continuación a miña reseña:
Pensaba que ía haber un dos doce que fora o espía da casa, pero como non houbo ningunha onomatopeia de paxáro pois ao final foiseme a teoría, pero estou segura de que alguén sabe algo pero hai tanto secretismo e tanto medo...en parte síntome moi mal polos personaxes que teñen que vivir e seguir co puro maltrato psicolóxico e físico que lles causa Akito, pero creo que demostrar que o que se di tamén dano é importante; gratamente sorprendida dun manga dos 2000.
Tamén A verdade non tiña fé que unha prota feminina dun shojos dos 2000, as tipicas "bobas", tivera esa capacidade de oposición. Team Tooru!
Well...get fucked Akito. E podo chegar a entender a relación de pero non apoio NINGÚN incesto, (i'm looking at you page 22)
Estase poñendo super interesante e quedanme menos de 10 tomos para rematar...creo que os vou botar de menos

Spoiler
sorprendeme que Tooru teña a coraxe pra meterse na casa de Akito, non mo esperaba.Spoiler
Dame moita mágoa Rin, a súa vida foi unha merda e Akito non soporta que alguén coma "ela" (unha muller guapa) vaia na súa contra porque pode levar ao resto con elaSpoiler
Haru e Rin, por que naceu e como de importante é para ambosSpoiler
que lles pasa a tódolos homes Soma que queren acaban liandose coa súa prima??? (ou xa o fixeron)Estase poñendo super interesante e quedanme menos de 10 tomos para rematar...creo que os vou botar de menos

4 stars.
Loved the reveal that Yuki sees Tohru more as a mother figure than as a crush. I think it was done really well and made a lot of sense for them. I also like that he is opening up more to people and building connections and bonds with the student council. It makes me happy that after always putting some distance between himself and other people, he can be a little silly and lighthearted with them.
We also got to see and learn Isuzu's backstory which was very sad and upsetting. The children of zodiac all have such traumatic stories and upbringings that it's not hard at all to see how they became the people they are currently. I'm still a bit confused on how the curse will be broken and also what Shigure seems to be aiming for.

HJCFBJDGBCFYHDGCJDBHVIKDHUJDHCUFHDUVHDUHCVUDHCUDHVUDHVCUDHCVUDHFUIDHFVIHDCFUIHDUFVHDUIGHPPOIOOIWUEUUQUQUWHD!!!!!! THAT WAS SO CUTE!!! SO CUTE! I love this volume! It was so amazing! I mean… I was pretty depressed when I first started to read it. I felt like being emo for a very long time. But then the ending! *Squees* The ending was sooooo worth that sadness! Oh my word! I’m… I’m speechless! How can I tell you how great it was without spoiling it? The thing is: I can’t. It’s impossible for me to tell you. Oh but please! Please believe me when I say it’s so wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! *Flails*
Takaya-sensei! She did excellent in this book! Brilliant! Amazing! And all them other words that means she’s a genius! How ever did you manage to make something that made me want to cut myself into something that made me want to scream for joy!? Oh my Lord! I am so happy! I really am so happy! I felt so bad for Rin and I still do but even that ended in a way that made me want to jump for joy. My God! I am so ecstatic! And maybe it’s because I was for a certain something but that doesn’t matter. It all makes sense now! No wonder! Just no wonder! I must sound like a nut to you all but… I am a nut so nothing new really. I’m sure Takaya-sensei thinks I’m nutty, too! Yay for not being alone! If I could marry this woman, I would… in a heartbeat. XD
Rin broke me… she broke my little beating heart. I WANT TO HUG HER! She’s so badass that when you see her so vulnerable… you have no choice but to want to hug her. I’m so glad she had Haru when growing up. If not… who knows what would have happened to her. Haru is truly a knight. *Boos and hisses* Oh what!? What!? Call me a romantic! But don’t “Boo!” me! -_-” In any case, Haru and Rin are so gorgeous together. Man, they even… yes, I’m still on that! It was shocking, okay? I was like, “*Falls over*” it was that good! Wow… I’m just amazed that these two can love each other so… strongly. *Sighs* I hate romance but… the romance in this manga… I approve. It’s so amazing! It even makes me want to—PFFFT!!!! Nope! Not gonna happen! X3 In any case, Rin’s story got to me. And it also enhanced the fact that Akito MUST SUFFER A SLOW AND HORRIBLE DEATH! What the hell is his problem? I don’t get it! And he hates women? Well, that was obvious but still… what? What kind of bullshit is this? Ugh! I hate this person! With a burning passion of hatred! He’s disgusting, revolting, stupid, and I don’t like him. Interfering with my loves. Asswipe!!! -_-”
Well, enough of that crap. On to other stuff! Shigure is revealing a little bit more about himself. It makes me wonder that, out of everyone, he’s the biggest enigma of all. I really which he would say more but… I have my suspicions but, as I’ve said before, nothing I guess is right until proven so by the author. Another thing I must say, it was nice seeing more of the Student Council. We now know more about Manabe and Machi’s past. It makes me happy! I understand a bit about them now! Hoo-Ha! Now, if only I fully understood Machi. And is it me or are Machi and Yuki…? Hmm… we’ll just have to see, won’t we? Speaking of Yuki… *SQUEES!!!* THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL MAN! BEAUTIFUL! I can’t tell you guys enough. He says something that leaves you speechless. Although, it makes so much sense! Everything! *Giggles* I am so happy! I like where this is going! I truly do. Oh, you need to read it! If my rant doesn’t make you want to read it then I should just slap you. You know what’s better!? Tohru was so close! So close to admitting something but held back. There’s something about her, too, that’s not being revealed yet but… I’ll keep reading in order to find out. I want to know. Besides, Kyo is being the absolute best! WHY ISN’T HE MAH BOIFREN!!!??? *Slams head against the wall* I want him and Haru and Hatori to be my lovers! Argh! So upset I’m not a character in this book! >_<
Fantasies aside… I love getting lost in this series. You know, sometimes, when reading, I got so sucked into the story that I actually picture myself there. Is that strange? Yes… yes it is… BUT I DON’T CARE! This manga is so amazing that I can’t help myself. I love that the characters keep growing, the environment is always changing, and my hatred for Akito keeps increasing! It’s a win-win no matter how you look at it! X3 I encourage you all to continue reading this fantastic series. It moves you and helps you become a better person. Seriously, this manga helps you grow as a person. I’m telling you, it’s because of this manga that I, myself, am growing… I’ve learned to look at things much more clearly. I… I haven’t been the best… mot for a very long time… but reading this… it’s inspiring me. Hopefully, I can continue to grow as do everyone else who reads this. So please… won’t you join me in the next volume? *Smiles warmly*

*SPOILERS*
This volume is bittersweet. Tohru and Rin are looking for a way to break the curse to save the men they love. Shigure sums it up best when he asks Hatori, "Do you hear that?" "Hear What?"..."The sound of breaking"!!!
Ooohh the suspense!

Encore un tome lu d'une traite, oupsi.
Ce tome se concentre sur Rin, la première partie; on en apprend enfin plus sur elle et le pourquoi de la plupart de ses réactions ..
Et la deuxième partie concerne Yuki, qui réalise enfin une chose importante.
Peu de choses se passent vraiment, et j'avoue que j'ai été un peu déçue par la dernière phrase. H'aha
