So, I thought I'd take a moment, while I'm waiting for vol. 20 to come from the library or in the mail, to comment a bit on this series...I read the first 16 volumes in 2007, then never finished, so I decided to read the whole thing. While it always takes me a while to get into the rhythm of reading manga, with the right-to-left order, sound-effects characters, etc., I actually feel like I could follow the story this time. And I waver between 4 and 5 stars for all the volumes after 6, though tha...more
The biggest surprise in this volume is how much some of the characters have grown! Momiji, who has been away for a while, comes back and gets a lot of the girls excited--he's so tall and good-looking. But he still has his rabbit back-pack! Kyo, Yuki, Risa and Hiro all have grown up, too. Only Tohru doesn't seem to age at all--still cute and innocent and optimistic. Things have been getting awkward between her and Kyo, espcially after Hatori tells her that secretly all the other Sohmas need Kyo,...more

Okay, that has to be the worst synopsis ever given on the back of one of the volumes. First of all, Kyo and Tohru already have a complicated relationship. They're just more aware of it now so they're being really awkward. Second, Tohru was already looking for a trigger to break the curse. I don't really think that's new information. Let me tell you what this volume is really about.
Shigure talks to Tohru about the curse and saving Kyo. They kind of get into it because Shigure is so blunt about Ky...more

FINALLY! IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS MANGA!!! IT WAS SOOOOO WORTH THE WAIT! XD Actually... *Frowns* ...this was a very sad volume. Oh man... it focused a lot on Tohru and Kyo's relationship and let me tell you... it's very depressing. I was tearing up so badly whilst reading it. Those two touch my heart in a way I never thought possible. So... *Blubbers* ...so heart-breaking. That's not the only thing either! Oh no! There's more. There's even sad back-story involving Ayame and Min...more
In this volume, Tohru and Kyo are getting increasingly closer to being "together." Kyo is so in love with Tohru that it's obvious to all the Sohmas and Tohru is finally close to admitting that she loves Kyo-kun. Tohru is afraid that if she loves Kyo, she'll lose the memory of her mother.
Much of the book is about how the other members of the Zodiac look down on Kyo. Their loves are so difficult being cursed that it's nice to know that Kyo's life is worse. There's a great scene with Shigure and To...more

Adorable Kyou/Tohru moments, and of course I have to mention how much I like Shigure's struggle with the competition between his self-loathing and his desire to manipulate everyone into breaking the curse. He's not really nice about it, but he does have some great interactions with Tohru in this volume--you get the impression he really cares about her, whether or not he's actually using her.
Grown-up Momiji is hotness incarnate (as we knew he would be), but still adorable, and the Kakeru/Yuki int...more

This volume was like a show of how the characters have grown. It's surprising how much they've all changed. Really the Kyo, Tohru stuff was so cute. They have to be together, Kyo can't be locked up, he's my favourite character!
I didn't really care about the student council things. Ayame made a funny appearance, he always cracks me up and I love'd his small backstory about meeting Mine. I felt sad for Manabe's girlfriend, it's horrible they are all connected to Tohru in that sad way. Anyway this...more

Gaaaaah I just don't know who to ship!
Also, I'm really glad Yuki has made a good friend in Manabe (I like him a lot)
There was a lot more shippiness that I shall refrain from fangirling over (it happens, and it's killing me, we'll leave it at that)
Oh! Some complicated stuff about the death of Tohru's mother, and how Manabe didn't like Tohru at first. That was really interesting!
Yup. The rest was shippy stuff.
My poor fangirl heart.

Kyo and Tohru. That was my big 'yay' factor for this volume. Not much, but they're making progress. As well as Yuki and Machi. My favorite Yuki pair is still Hana, but that's never going to happen. I also think Yuki and Machi are adorable, anyway.
The plot is still dragging a bit, but with Shigure being as secretive and obnoxiously lovable as always - and with only four volumes left - I'm sure it'll pick up soon.

Well revealling what happens in this volume will just spoil it for the rest of you, so I'm not gonna ok? It's a good volume though and Momiji is no little boy no more, shocking. There's more Kyo and Tohru which Yuki finds hard to deal with, bless him. Things are also explained in this volume, questions that Tohru has asked herself in the past. All shall be revealled in the pages of this voume.
Gosh darn these characters can be cute sometimes. So much cute... granted occasionally crazy cute, but still! Anyways, My breathing is officially normalizing, does that mean something sucky is about to happen?
3.5 RATING because nothing essential really happens, but Kyo/Yuki/Tohru/Machi are all still super adorable.

Momoji all grown up and so handsome! There were some sweet moments between Tohru and Kyo. We learn the sad connection between Kakeru (his girlfriend) and Tohru. This is a good one.

Oh man, I started sobbing like three pages into this volume!!! *heartbreak* But then about halfway through it started to slow down.
The one thing that stands out the most in this volume:
MOMIJI GROWN UP!!!!!!!!! And looking soooooooooooo handsome! (as if I had doubts...I knew he'd be gorgeous!)
We get to meet Komaki, Kakeru's girlfriend in this volume and learn how she's linked to Tohru.
And the appearance of Ayame always makes me happy!
And I don't care what people said or still say, I think Tohru D...more
