This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Fruits Basket is coming to a close and there are a lot of storylines to tie together and clear up. Volume 20 was a little jarring as it tried to incorporate these storylines, flashbacks, and characters' personal thoughts and feelings. It reveals important back-stories for Kyo and Akito, while leaving us with some cliff-hangers.

Volume 20 was a little jarring as it tried to incorporate these storylines, flashbacks, and characters' personal thoughts and feelings. It reveals important back-stories for Kyo and Akito, while leaving us with some cliff-hangers. As I read it, I found myself needing to go back every few pages and review as sentences were broken up by panels of memories or inner thoughts. It was a little annoying, but part of that is that the pacing is so fast, you can't help but quickly flip to the next page and keep reading, even if you aren't absorbing it all. It's an emotional volume and serious (even Takaya comments in the two side columns that the mood shouldn't be interrupted), and requires some reflection afterwards.

Okay, so down to business! This part has spoilers, so watch out! The opening was a little weak - Tohru's still struggling with her feelings for Kyo replacing her feelings for her mother, and the fear that she'll disappear if Tohru lets herself really love Kyo. Kagura avoids Tohru at first, but when Rin and Tohru talk about these feelings, Kagura can't help but burst in and fight with Tohru, ordering her to tell Kyo. This felt out of place, but it did show that Tohru isn't willing to apologize to Kagura after the fight, so we've seen that she's grown a little stronger.

The meat and potatoes of this story deals with Ren and Akito's past, particularly involving Akira's love for his wife and his daughter. We get an idea of just how warped Ren is - she was jealous of Akito before she was born, when the zodiac first called attention to the pregnancy. Ren didn't have an easy marriage or pregnancy, but she also never gave Akito a chance. We also get to see the involvement of the old woman (does she even have a name?) who's watched over Akito and the Sohma household since Akira was around. She was the one to Akito the mysterious box she treasures and we learn its history. In an act that could have been kind and meant to comfort, she did a great deal of damage to Akito after her father's death. Fruits Basket seems to live off of those moments of potential kindness that only hurt people more when that hope is taken away.

In the midst of learning Akito's history, Momiji is freed from the curse - it's not the happy moment we all expected, but rather one of sadness, because now Momiji doesn't belong anywhere. His immediate family doesn't recognize him and he's no longer a part of the zodiac. He still loves Tohru, but he doesn't get in the way of the love Kyo and Tohru feel for each other. And yet, you still feel that if anyone of the Sohmas has a chance at happiness, it's Momiji. Unfortunately, this means confronting Akito. Momiji no longer feels the bond, and that sets Akito off, resulting in one of the cliffhangers - dum dum dummmm. Even as we leave Akito, we see another member of the zodiac's curse breaking, with mixed feelings.

Towards the end, we pick up with Kyo and Tohru. Both have been urged, by Momiji and Kagura, to confess their feelings to each other. But before that, Kyo must tell Tohru a secret he's been harboring since the beginning of the series (and it makes things make SO much more sense). Not only did he know her mother, but he was also connected to her death. Kyo could have prevented her from dying, but at the risk of exposing the family secret. And thus, another cliffhanger.

So now we wait another couple of months before the next Fruits Basket. Time to reread the old volumes! Man, this was a long review!(less)

Then I was shocked and sad with what happened with Momiji. Then I was annoyed AGAIN with how Akito was trying to get pity from the reader. *Totally didn't fall for it* Then I was shocked AGAIN because of what happened with Hiro! THEN I WAS PISSED OFF COMPLETELY BECAUSE OF WHAT AKITO DID AND IT JUST MADE ME WANT TO KILL HIM AND BLARGH THAT BASTARD REALLY NEEDS TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!! *Ahem* Lastly... I had my heart ripped out of my chest, stomped on a few times, and thrown down the bloody toilet because of Kyo, Tohru... and Kyoko... Oh, man... I didn't think this volume was going to be like this. I actually expected this volume to be a little more on the cute side. I wasn't expecting something this heavy until the second to last volume. Yeah... I was wrong... again... I told you. This series is so unpredictable. It's nice... and depressing at the same time.

Takaya-sensei didn't include a lot of side panels in this one. She said that she felt it would ruin the mood she was trying to set. Personally, I think she's right. The fact that there weren't any side panels really made the manga stand out a lot more. The reader was more focused on what was going on then being distracted by her random musings. Don't get me wrong. I do love reading what she has to say about her characters and her life and what not but... it defintely wouldn't have made as huge an impact as it did. There was one panel that warned the reader that it was going to end on a heavy note but... I didn't know it was going to be that heavy. I believe this is one of the best volumes Takaya-sensei has ever created. I was blown away with the way things turned out. Honestly, where does this woman get her ideas from? It's just so amazing! Oh... my heart... it hurts... it hurts so bad... I... I just want to cry my eyes out because I was just not expecting that ending. I-I think I need another moment... *Leaves the review alone for a little while*

What can I say about the characters in this volume? Tohru was being really adorable at the beginning of the book. She came to a realization and that made me really smile. Although, I didn't like how Kagura interfered with that. She had no right to do what she did and she's become a bit of an annoyance to me. Ugh... Anyway, towards the end of the book, however, I was just broken with how it must have felt like... listening to Kyo talk that way. That boy does have a tendency of grabbing you and choking you to near-death. He loves Tohru. You see that. But he doesn't feel worthy... and you wonder for a long time why he doesn't feel worthy. Well, that's all cleared up in this volume. And you won't even guess what it is. I know I didn't think that was why he felt like that. Oh... seeing him... like that... feeling distraught... that was something I was not expecting. Kyoko has a big role in how he is feeling. She was so wonderful to him... it's so cute and I just want to hug her because she's awesome... however, considering how things turned out... I can't believe that this story is taking a turn for the worse. Well, there is some good. For example, things happen with Momiji and Hiro! Those things are very similar and it's going to make you fall off your chair! It's THAT amazing! However, Momiji does have a bit of a sad story to his "action." It's a shame... not being able to be with the one you love. But I am sure he'll find his happiness. He's too precious... I know he'll find it.

Something about this book that makes me very very VERY angry is AKITO!!! HOLY FUCKING HELL! HOW IS IT THAT NO MATTER WHAT IS REVEALED ABOUT THIS ASSWIPE I HATE HIM EVEN MORE!? I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE BUT DAMN IT ALL! I JUST HATE HIM! Okay, so you get more back story of him. You see his disgusting mother treating him like crap and his father... well, he wasn't much better. So yeah... the explanation is that he's acting this way because of his parents. You know what I think? I think he's shit! A lot of people have to deal with parents that don't love them! I say he's being fucking stupid with it all. The path he chose to take in order to deal with his feelings and never wanting to be alone is just sad and pathetic. Akito doesn't deserve to be loved because he didn't chose to take a path worthy of love. So everyone's abandoning him? He deserves it. He even deserves to die a slow, horrible, painful death. Dude, I hate Ren just as much as the next person, especially since she's so full of herself and selfish, but that doesn't mean I sympathize with Akito either. Especially not after what he did to Kureno! ARGH!!!!! WHAT THE HELL, MAN!? WHAT THE HELL!? THAT WASN'T RIGHT! THAT WAS STUPID AND IMMATURE! GOD! I FREAKING HATE AKITO! H.A.T.E HATE!!! *HISSES/FOAMS AT THE MOUTH* Bah! Why? Just... why!? And in front of Uotani as well... ugh... I feel sick... I'm going to throw up...

This is just one of those volumes you just have to... cling to your chest. It's so frustrating... so sad... so sickening... I don't know how else to describe it. I'm at a lost... I want to burn it and yet put it on a pedestal. My word... what a read this was! Seriously, the drama, the twists and turns, the chemistry with the characters: it's all so wonderful you have no idea how to deal with it. I am quite pleased that this manga still continues to be fresh and invigorating! Three more to go before we see the conclusion... oh, my... I'm excited. I really want to see how this all turns out. Right now it's at a pretty dark place. Who knows where Takaya-sensei is going to take it. I literally have no clue what's going to happen. We'll just have to see for ourselves. Let's get to the next volume already! I must find out what's going to happen with Kyo!(less)

The curse is falling apart. Two more members of the Zodiac lose their curse in this volume: Momiji and Hiro. The idea of loss is represented by feathers falling throughout the pages. I don't entirely get what feathers represent as far as loss goes. Perhaps the equivalent of things falling apart, loss of life? It's an interesting artistic choice that sets the atmosphere.

Akito and Tohru both take action right as the book ends. Who else can't wait for volume twenty-one?

Akito Sohma is the head of the Sohma family, who is cursed to turn into an animal of the Chinese zodiac when hugged by the opposite sex. Akito is "god" in the fable of the zodiac, who rules over the twelve animals. Being "god" gives Akito enormous power over the members of the zodiac. Born from the sickly head of the family and a jealous mother, Akito is raised as a boy, despite being female. Clinging to the "bond", Akito desperately tries to contain the members of the zodiac so that she will never be left behind. She may seem like a powerful head of a large family, but in reality, Akito is simply a lonely little girl. I can relate to Akito, who clings desperately to unconditional love. She may act strong, but underneath she is the weakest of all, just like me.

9/29/08 and 10/7/08
Text to self, text to world, and text to text.

This volume of Fruits Basket reveals Akito's inner loneliness. I can relate to the feeling. Everyone longs for unconditional love, especially those who have someone missing in their lives. I may not be missing anyone, but I know how it feels to cling to someone in order to stay sane. In every relationship I've had, I long for true love, marriage, "permanence". Akito clings to that permanence also, with the members of the zodiac who see him as their god. Everyone clings to permanence, especially Akito and I.

Everyone longs for the safety of permanence regardless of who they are and how they seek it. It is one of the bottom tiers in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Without a sense of security, we feel vulnerable and alone. No one can be without security, no matter how they appear on the outside.

The fruits basket series reminds me of the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. It similarily portrays everyones' need for love and security. Like Akito, Shinji desperately craves love from the females around him and his father. His father abandoned him at a young age, taking his peace of mind. Akito and Shinji should get together in some alternate world of anime.(less)

Synopsis: Fruits Basket is a shōjo manga series created by Natsuki Takaya that follows the life of Tohru Honda. When the series begins, Tohru is living in a tent in the woods after being recently orphaned when her mother died in a car accident. Somehow, Tohru is able to remain optimistic despite all the shit she has had to go through.

While wandering through the forest she's living in, she runs across the house of the Sohma family. As it happens, Tohru goes to school with Yuki Sohma, who is known as the Prince, because of how fucking hot he is. Yuki and his cousin Shigure take pity on Tohru and invite her to live with them in exchange for doing the cleaning and cooking for them. Soon, Tohru learns that the Sohmas are hiding a terrible secret...they turn into cute animal versions of the zodiac if they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex that isn't also a Sohma. Things just get crazier when she meets more of the family.

Fruits Basket is the best kind of romance series, the kind with lots of crushes, but nothing overt, and interesting relationships (not necessarily the romantic kind). Take, for instance, when Kyo Sohma shows up. As I mentioned in the summary, the Sohmas all turn into cute versions of the zodiac when hugged by a member of the opposite sex. Yuki is the rat, Shigure is the dog, and Kyo is the cat. You may be thinking that there is no cat in the zodiac, and you would be right. However, there is a legend that says the cat would have would have been in the zodiac, if it had not been tricked by the rat into missing the induction feast. As a result, Kyo hates Yuki, and constantly tries to fight him. Unfortunately, for Kyo, he can't even land a decent hit on Yuki, let alone beat him up.

It's easy to love this series. The back story on the various members of the Sohma family is interesting (why does Kyo hate Yuki so much?) and trying to figure out which member of the zodiac new characters are is lots of fun (I love the Dragon's zodiac form). If you're looking for something light and fun to read, Fruits Basket is a good choice. Beware though, the series is 23 volumes long!
