4.5 stars out of 5

I ordered the rest of the collector’s editions of Fruits Basket to resume my reread, starting with the fifth volume, which contains both volumes nine and ten. Things are getting great as Fruits Basket reaches the halfway point of the story. Let’s dive back in!

Volume 9: It’s summer vacation time! Well…almost. Yuki meets Kakeru Manabe, the vice president of the student council, and his half-sister, Machi Kuragi. Meanwhile, Uotani meets a mysterious man older than her, who she develops a crush on…who turns out to be a Sohma! We finally find out how Hanajima became friends with Tohru, and Kazuma shows up again to meet up with Kyo. A great volume of Fruits Basket indeed.

Volume 10: It’s vacation house time! Hiro starts to be more tolerable, thankfully. Mayu reunites with Hatori and Shigure, to interesting results. And near the end, Akito makes his way to the vacation house. While not as many things happen as in the previous volume, the great moments more than make up for that.

I’m excited to resume my Fruits Basket reread now that I have the rest of the manga! The reread will not have any more breaks (hopefully), so I can’t wait to continue now!
