A review by cheoelm
Fruits Basket, Vol. 10 by Natsuki Takaya
5.0
Guh, the punches keep rolling when it comes to angst and trouble for the Sohmas and friends.
As I mentioned in a previous review, Natsuki takes the time to develop all the characters we encounter in the series, including the teacher of Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo. This added story makes the series that much more interesting, but it does break my heart that some of the characters have to go through such hardships before they can be happy.
Akito also makes another appearance in the story, along with Kureno, while the main gang are enjoying their stay at a summer vacation home. This appearance of Akito reminds me how much I hate them and how I wish the younger Sohmas didn't have to deal with this dark cloud, but every happy story must have an antagonist to drive the plot along.
There's also a wonderful ending to this volume that makes my heart soar, even if I know that what happens won't necessarily happen between the two characters involved. Still, it's nice to see some of the Sohmas are able to open up more and that they're not afraid to admit to themselves how they feel and react to the environment around them.
