Fruits Basket: v. 19 (Fruits Basket): 19

by: Natsuki Takaya

March 18, 2008
Recently Natsuki Takaya has dealt with the relationships of some of the supporting characters... and now it's back to the main trio.

And the nineteenth volume of "Fruits Basket" focuses on Tohru's growing feelings for Kyo, even as she struggles to free him from his curse -- and the scorn of the other zodiac members. Though there are some funny moments (mostly from the wonderfully wacky Ayame) growing romantic feelings and past regrets are littered all through these chapters.

Heartfelt talks take up a lot of space -- when Shigure tells Tohru about the approaching "last banquet" and the cat's place, she is left struggling with her torn feelings. Kyo has a chat with her kindly grandfather about Tohru, and remembers his own talk ... Read More:

Having revealed some shocking facts about the Sohma dictator, Akito, Natsumi Takaya turns her attention to the supporting players.

And the eighteenth volume of "Fruits Basket" turns us back to several favorites -- Hiro, Kisa, Haru and Rin, with a little sprinkling of Yuki and his budding love life. What's more, Takaya throws a wild little twist in near the end, which hints at what will eventually happen to the zodiac.

Rumors are flying that Machi tried to murder her baby brother, surprising Yuki. As he searches for clues to this quiet, strange girl's personality, he also has to deal with one of his fangirls, who is about to graduate and has a parting message for him. The truth of Maki's family life only draws Yuki closer to her. ... Read More:

I found this volume one of the best that I have read, it exsposes Kyo's past, which really accounts for his bitterness. I found it a real tear jerker. Normaly when it gets to a good part in fruits basket , i jump up and down and go crazy cause its like wooow that happended. but when i read this volume and a good bit happended (which it does)i just sat staring into space, so dumbfounded, then i started crying (i get really into manga) - i hope that doesnt give too much away but im telling you this volume is really good.:-)

Fruits Basket: Vol 16 (Fruits Basket): 16 (Fruits Basket (Paperback))

I've been reading Fruits Basket ever since it was first released in English, an "avid fan" if you will. In this volume you get more backstory about Tohru Honda's mother and father, along with other things, but I'm not explaining anything, you must buy it to find out.

I've just re-read the series up to volume 16(getting 17&18 for xmas) and its rekindled my love and obsession for the series. It's just the kind of series you can identify with, you can pick out the similarities to yourself. And the characters just have so much depth!!
If your looking for a shojo series to really get into, this is one of the best you can find. It's millions of fans will back me up.
It's got everything, bishies, love, drama, comedy and much more.

Buy it, ... Read More:

Fruits Basket: v. 17 (Fruits Basket): v. 17 (Fruits Basket (Paperback))

Fruits Basket from the first volume has been building up to volume 17- all the secrets you ever wanted to know about Akito is out of the bag- and Natsuki Takaya doesn't disappoint you. Trust me this will leave your mouth opening for the drama that unfolds and the biggest shock will never make you look at the characters the same way again. The book is full of drama and gets in depth of those mysterious characterS. What you see is what you get and shows that Fruits Basket is not your average shojo manga series. i give this 5 stars- After reading this you will just want more but thats the same for all Fruits Basket volumes lol. ^^

I've only got eight of the books from the fruits basket series but they are still the best books ever.I especially liked this one because you find out a lot more about Hatsuharu and he's one of my favourite characters. Ritsu also comes to visit Shigure's house.Ritsu is just like his mother who you met in a previous volume.This book is a lot of fun. BUY IT!

Fruits Basket: v. 5 (Fruits Basket)

I know there really isn't any point in me writing this review because you probably all ready love the series, and as this is volume five, assuming you are up to four, you will need to buy this one if you ever hope to progress beyond it; but... I just love Fruits Basket so much! I had to write a review for it!

So, this volume finds Tohru and the gang going on holiday for a couple of chapters. We learn more about the existing characters, and as always, we meet a bunch of new ones. The art is fantastic as usual and the little comments Takaya leaves throughout the manga are always welcome.

This series just keeps getting better and better; I just adore Fruits Basket. This series has everything all packed into every single volume, so if you are new to manga and ... Read More:
