A review by lcgerstmann
Fruits Basket, Vol. 7 by Natsuki Takaya

4.0

This volume is primarily the back story of Tohru's friend, Arisa and how they meet. I loved learning more about Arisa and Tohru's mom and their history as girl gangsters! But, the introduction of the newest member of the Sohma family, Hiro, ruined the volume for me. I know he was meant to be an obnoxious and sarcastic kid, but his personality was SO terrible, that I could barely stand reading about him. I also really hate Akito now too, yes I am intrigued, he is super mysterious, but the whole beating up little girls thing (Kisa) is just TOO much.
