A review by lmau
Fruits Basket, Vol. 4 by Natsuki Takaya
4.0
There are certain parts in this volume that might get a bit controversial now that I’m old enough to understand them. One comes off as a bit sexist, and the other is for teens who’ll likely appreciate it more compared to the younger readers.
With that, we’re introduced to Yuki’s goofy brother Ayame. He and Yuki are total opposites towards their personalities in which Aya serves as the chatterbox between them as siblings. I’ve taken more appreciation in the older Sohma’s humor recently, mostly because I can understand them clearly now.
While we’re at it, we might as well discuss the hardships of sacrifice. If I were in this character’s shoes, I don’t think I could manage putting up a brave face and get on with my routine as if nothing happened. On the other hand, I do like how living on with memories you long to forget can do someone well too. I hope I could do the same with mine someday.
