Customer Reviews

Sugoku tanoshii wa yo.

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!

Excellent Blend of Tragedy and Comedy

I like how this book continues right where vol. 14 left off, just like how books 10 and 11 were connected. I like how a bit more of Yuki's complex and horrific history is revealed, and I like his growing bond with my buddy "Nabe". Takaya-san knows how to balance this tragedy and the moments with Tohru, Haru, Kyo, and Arisa with the school play. From Aya's and Mine-san's entrance (yay, she's back), to the audience's awe of Yuki as the fairy guradian, to the rewritten lines, and even the bossy narrator, the school play was hilarious. Oh yeah, seeing Kazuma and Megumi again is great, and like the references to various other characters (i.e. Rin) not in this book. Don't forget to read the sidenotes and to check out the fanart and original art!

2nd best manga series ever!!

Fruits Basket is the best. Tohru is such a sweet-heart! Like everyone else's opinion, I think Kyo & Yuki are total BABES! The story is amazing and Takaya-sensei should NEVER end it!!!

Awesome

This book was as awesome as the rest of the series. The plot thickens in this one and the play the students preform is wonderfully whimsical, while retaining the books renown amusmant. In short, it rocked my socks!

Yuki's Back Story

Finally poor Kyo gets to put his tragic back story on hold while we spend half of the manga learning about Yuki's back story. Again, this manga never stops making me teary eyed. I won't give anything away but be prepared to feel depressed for poor Yuki. On top of that we get comedy thrown in with the "Cinderella" production, or I guess I should say "Almost Cinderella" production. It may not appear to be that significant but something critical happens at the end of the manga for all those who are rooting for our favorite misunderstood bad boy kitty :) Loved this volume, but of course, I always do!
