Fruits Basket, Vol. 20 by Natsuki Takaya
3.0
Okay... I feel like, since the revelation of Akito being a girl, my feelings about this manga changed a lot. Most of the other plot twists were really surprising and interesting, but this one I really didn't like. And it changed the ways of the story. It's kinda sad, to show that you can only be the head of the family if you're posing as a boy... Also, I feel like this was used just to explain why Kureno and Shigure are close to Akito. I'm able to empathize with most of the characters, after learning their stories, but with Akito is difficult to do so.
I never really questioned the couples, but now that things are probably pointing out to Tohru+Kyou and Yuki+Machi, I'm really not pleased. I like their dynamics, but not as couples. (I feel like Machi was only added to the story as a plot device and to give Yuki growth). I liked to the see the character development on both Kyou and Yuki, but I feel like Tohru's personality was a bit too changed. I don't know.
But... I still like reading about the other characters. Yuki and Kyou, as I mentioned before; Momiji (baby), Haru, and so on. Since I'm almost reaching the end of the series, I'll probably just finish it to see what's going to happen. And maybe I'm being too critical? If I'd read this a few years ago I might've liked it more, but now I think I have more readings to compare. I don't know. Still hoping for the best.
