Fruits Basket, Vol. 18 by Natsuki Takaya

4.0

*spoilers*

I'm going to gush about the character development in this series again. Machi is a newer character, a minor character brought in late as a love interest for Yuki to help him get over his feelings for Tohru and grow as a person, but we learn her story in this volume and although short, it is deep and moving. We also see Kureno make a huge life altering decision, get a peek into the depth of Hatsu's love for Rin and meet Akito's mother. A lot happens in this volume and it was wonderful but I did miss seeing Tohru and Kyo!
