Oh, my heart. It breaks.
Easily one of the most bittersweet volumes in the entire series. I bow before you, Takaya-sensei, even though you make me cry like a little baby.

Wow... just... wow. I don't know where to start. So many things happened in this volume... it's hard for me to just start from... anywhere. It was so difficult reading it. Things came together so nicely but at the same time... so painfully. I'm still not sure how I really feel about everything that happened with all the characters. Not that it was bad or anything. It was great... it's just... Akito really threw me into a whole new pit! I wasn't expecting him to... well, more on that later. I was...more

Following one of my least favorite volumes of Fruits Basket, we have Volume 22, which I think is my favorite volume.
Kyo begins the volume by confronting his father, who is a hateful person, like all the adults in this story. Kyo essentially tells his dad that he's going to live his life the way he wants to. Then Kyo confronts Akito, and she essentially sets him free. His curse isn't lifted at this point, but she tells him that she won't confine him and makes plans to destroy the cat's isolation...more

I picked this volume up yesterday after finishing the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe just so I could read a chapter before bed but what was suppose to be one chapter led to many more and ended up with me putting off going to sleep just to read one more chapter before reading to the end. This volume is great and just like the one before is hard to review without giving away what goes on inside it without ruining it for someone. I liked how this volume played out and what happens within the pages...more

I finally got around to ordering this copy online and it came in the mail earlier this week. As I read through it, I couldn't stop bawling. Why does this series make me cry? It's been a couple of years since I first read these chapters when they first came out in Japan, but they still have such a powerful impact on me. By these closing chapters in the story, you know these characters so well, you love them so much. Even with all the other manga I've read and continue to read, this story still ho...more
This is just what an ending should be: the origins of the Sohma curse are revealed, the curse is broken, everyone couples up and finds love, happily ever after, the end. Tohru and Kyo hug! And the members of the Zodiac are released not by chance, but because Akito chooses freedom for both herself and her family. With Tohru's help, she has discovered it is better to be loved by choice than obeyed out of fear. The moments of release, when each member felt themselves be let go, were especially touc...more
Natsuki Takaya shows a side of Akito that no one has ever seen before: kind and forgiving. As the curse unravels its bond, the last few cursed zodiac members are freed. Kyo's true feeling comes flooding out, after calling himself "disillusioned", leaving Tohru to run away, crossing paths with Akito, and ended up at the bottom of a cliff that has collapsed underneath her, leaving her in the hospital with a concussion. Although that happened in the last book, #21 is very essential for this book. H...more

GYAH. So incredibly heartbreaking. And so very in need of an epilogue (what do you mean, I have to wait till July??). But in many ways, very good. I find Akito's "reformation" a bit abrupt, and the way the curse is dealt with seems a bit anticlimactic after everything everyone's been through...but it also sort of makes sense. I loved seeing the montage of everyone's reactions in the end, and I'll love seeing how everything wraps up in the last volume.

Kyo is standing up for himself! Yay! So, I'm not sure why exactly Kyo was puking in this volume, but I have a theory about it having to do with the curse breaking. This theory was never confirmed, but I'm sticking to it!
Arisa visits Kureno and cuteness ensues. Hanajima has been spending a lot of time with Shishou and it's freaking Kyo out. What's freaking me out are the age differences by some of the people in this series. I mean, Shishou isn't young and Hanajimi hasn't even graduated from high...more

udah mau akhir2, kadang ngebaca Furuba itu bisa nangis tiba2 dan ktawa tiba2.. ksel ama Akito. Buat ngeluluhin hati dy aja butuh 21 volume dulu. Gw ngerasa ga adil aja. Dy tuh udah nyiksa semua keluarga Souma, tp ntarnya jadian ama Shigure. Huff bikin ksel ajah. Nangis gw pas ada flashbacknya Kyoko pas ketabrak mobil. quotenya dy:
"Sudahkah aku sebagai seorang ibu mencintaimu dengan cukup, Toru?"
habis itu dy pas udah mati, ktemu ama suaminya.. hikz

Takaya doesn't disappoint with the next-to-last book in the Furuba series. FB 22 is the beginning of the end, and readers follow their favorite members of the zodiac as they come to terms with the freedom they've always wanted and sever the bonds they didn't know they could live without. Three zodiac members take big plunges in this serial, and without giving away any endings, it was probably what you were waiting for.
This is only one book from the end so there’s very little I can say in way of review that wouldn’t be spoilery for major things. Most importantly, Kyo goes to see his birth father to confront him at last. Needless to say this isn’t pretty.
Then we get more of Tohru’s friends being uncharacteristically cruel to Kyo and frankly, to Tohru. I get that they’re mad that they think he rejected her but by not letting him in to see her the whole time she’s in the hospital would only reinforce this so I’m...more

This book was good! I felt bad that Kureno was injured although he was always with Akito. I found Akito very misunderstood then. Tohru shouldn't feel scared near Kyo because she always loved him. Also supported him all the way. But now everything is fine! The curse is broken, Kyo and Tohru are together, and everyone is free! I felt really good about that! Overall, this book was sad and heart-touching.
oh wow. This completely makes the long fruits basket trip worth it. I am so happy about how this worked out, and happier still that there is still one more book left. My mouth was hanging open for most of this volume, I'll admit. I highly recommend this book (after you've read the others, of course).

There's a ton of resolution in this volume, and I'm curious to see what will really be accomplished in the final volume when it comes out with how much things felt wrapped up here. I was happy to see a lot more explanation into the history of the Sohma family's curse.
Nearly everything is resolved. Yay! (But, I forgot how much was already resolved in the last volume--seems it was headed this way, though?) Curious to see exactly what Takaya does with the last one.
T-T Oh my god...the amount of feels in this volume..is too damn high!!! I love how all the loose ends are tied up nicely.. and Akito.. wahhh Q_Q I can't help but feel sorry for her... The feels..... ;_;
As the series moves to a close, critical things happen and we finally understand the curse and way to break it. It was sweet and much more compelling than some of the more recent volumes.

I love this series. Finally picked it up again to finish it (I'd had the final volume for about a year at this point!). The characters are endearing and the artwork is just beautiful.
This gets more confusing in every book. At first it was just meeting the zodiac animals, but now its all about breaking the curse, who's curse is broken, character relationships, etc.
This remains my absolute favorite manga. This is the next to the last book and absolutely slayed me. All the loose ends are getting tied, the reason for the curse is revealed, and I cried.
The last chapter bit of this volume should have been used for the very end of the series, it would have tied it up much more... concisely. It was So. Damn. Good.

There was a large gap between the time I read Volume 21 and Volume 22. I sometimes would be confused when identifying who was who, since many of the characters look similar.
I've been waiting for this plot point from, like, volume three, I think! *le sigh*...so wonderful. So sad there's only one volume after this, but it was probably time.
Everything comes together. Aww, so many good moments. Can't believe there's one more volume left. Wonder what will happen? Onto the last volume of Fruits Basket.

Beginnings happen because there are endings.”
“It's lonely to say goodbye. Very lonely. Please. Cry with me. Maybe there's nothing we can do about this. But at least, for now...cry with me. Like your entire body...is screaming at the sky. Like it's raging against the world. I lost something. And I don't have a single guarantee. The fear of living in this world again after that...I have only a shred of hope to sustain me. So I want you at least...to cry. Cry. Cry with me. Like the day you were first born into this world.”
