 wonderful!!! October 12, 2005

Kyo protects Tohru at school with a move that is decidedly affectionate. It is the first day and Haru and Momitchi are now attending along with the other Sohma's. Haru immediately gets harassed because of the color of his hair and has to prove that it is the natural hair color. Then a bomb is dropped, Akito is there, and he has already encountered Tohru. When Yuki finds them the fear that he displays concerns Tohru, who later plans a badminton game with everyone to cheer him up.
Another member of the zodiac is introduced, this time it's Yuki's older brother Ayami. Ayami is quite charming and handsome, and whisks Tohru off to dinner to talk about the distance between him and Yuki. Later Momitchi tells Tohru of his sad past with his mother and younger sister, apparently his mom had to have her memories erased because she had rejected him. This fact saddens Tohru, who had such a great relationship with her mother before she died.
Tohru and everyone go to her mother's grave to commemorate the one year anniversary of her death. The happiness between Tohru and her friends on this sad day surprise Kyo and Yuki. Kyo begins to realize that a warm feeling to Tohru is gathering in his heart.
Again...I am hopelessly addicted. I'm going to stop telling people to read this anymore. If you have read all of my other reviews of the manga so far, you already know how much I love it. Go read it for yourself. It's wonderful.

In this volume, we meet two of the most fascinating (IMHO) characters in Fruits Basket- Akito, the head of the Sohma family, and Ayame, Yuki's extraordinary older brother.
The parts with Akito are wonderful and appropriately creepy- they set up his twisted, spoiled personality very well. He puts on a quite a show to act as polite and charming as possible towards Tohru- then does some subtle mental torture on Yuki- until you're left wondering- what's this guy's problem?
Ayame- flamboyant, amazing Ayame- is a character that grated on my nerves at first. (Much the same way he grates on Yuki) But he's a wonderful character- no one talks or acts quite like him. He's best friends with Hatori and Shigure- and together, they form the Mabudachi trio- my favorite characters in the manga...

I own this series in Japanese, and it is a wonderful read! It has all the important elements of a good shoujo manga: it is romantic, twisted, with a shoujo (in the traditional meaning of the word) involved in finding a new family and love triangles galore. It is just a very fun read, no matter the language!
I've been reading these in one sitting . . . May 3, 2008

Does that make me an addict? These books are wonderful and always put a smile on my face. They are definitely laugh out loud material.
This is the book where Tohru meets Akito, who at first appears to be nice, but is actually very controlling, in my opinion. He tried to brainwash Yuki! wtf??
