Fruits Basket, Vol. 10 by Natsuki Takaya

4.0

I really dislike when translations utilize phrases specific to the American culture when the culture in the story is NOT American. For example, in this volume someone uses the phrase, "I plead the fifth". As that is referencing the U.S. Constitution, a Japanese person would never use that phrase. I would much rather the true culture is highlighted and the translator attempt to find a more fitting phrase.
SpoilerRomance for Hatori with Mayu? I hope so! He deserves to find happiness. And talk about ending on a total cliffhanger with Yuki declaring his love for Tohru!
