As you may recall, friends, in the last volume of Fruits Basket Yuki threw caution to the wind and both confessed his love to Tohru and planted an incredibly chaste but clearly FRAUGHT WITH EMOTIONAL TENSION kiss on her forehead.
Well shit is clearly going to go down, because now Kyo has decided he is in love with Tohru, which everyone but him has known since volume one.

OH MY GOD-
Shit really hit the fan with this one.
So first of all we have Yuki's tender forehead kiss moment from before, but then Akito is meeting with everyone. This results in Kyo and Tohru being left alone... and we hear about Kyo's magic bracelet apparently made from a someones blood and bone...I really wonder who asked/forced someone to make that sacrifice- how old is the bracelet?
Akito eventually calls for Kyo and, after of course he confesses his obvious love for Tohru, we finaly hear the...more

Let's start from the top shall we? Fruits Basket is about a newly orphaned high school freshmen, Tohru Honda, who chooses to spend the three months after her mothers death in a tent on a reserve. The only reason she did this is because her Grandfather, who she was original going to live with, needed to have his house rebuilt and she didn't want to be a burden on anyone. So no one knew she lived in the forest, until one day one of her classmates, the “beloved prince” Yuki Sohma, stumbles across h...more

I have finally read the eleventh volume in the popular “Fruits Basket” series by Natsuki Takaya and man was this volume way more intense than the other volumes I have read! In this volume, Tohru is finding out about the Sohma family’s many deadly secrets about themselves that would put her world into jeopardy. Also, to add on to the startling secrets of the Sohma family, an enraged horse comes after Tohru! Could this horse be apart of the zodiac and why is it chasing after Tohru? Also, Kyo final...more
Fruits Basket volume 11 represents a turning point for the series. It starts out where the tenth volume ended. Tohru and the Sohma family are spending their summer vacation at a cabin (or cabin-like place). Tohru is left alone much of the time as Akito demands the family's constant attention. Kyo, as the hated cat, is the only one who Akito does not want to see. He alone keeps Tohru company. Finally, even Kyo is summoned to Akito's presence and Tohru is totally alone.

This volume was heavy compared to the last one. It mainly deals with Akito being an ass to everyone he comes in contact with. He beats the crap out of numerous family members (and non-family members). He has a fit and yells at Tohru for trying to steal the Sohmas from him, and ruins everyone's lives as best as he can. I honestly wish some horrible accident would befall him. He's such a jerk, and not in a regular jerk kind of way. It's more in a beat the living crap out of anything that disagrees...more
Thank GOODNESS, this is now the series I remember. We're done being cutesy with new members of the zodiac (who I thought were both unfunny and repulsive - even though that stupid ram kid is getting better, he's still really obnoxious, and I just skip over his dialogue so I don't get pissed off. I also hate the boar and the monkey), we're back to the wonderful main characters and storyline. The drama is ramping up, we learn how sinister the fates are of these beloved characters, we learn just how...more
Holy crap. Holy shit. Holy hot dogs on a flaming barbecue.
I was literally shaking with anger, no, murderous rage last night as I read this volume. I can't even rate it because I can't tell if I liked it or hated it. What I hated, despised, wanted to strangle, was Akito. If that motherf*cker lays one more of his slimy, disgusting, retarded hands on my Kyo, I will rip. him. apart.
I can't really explain my torrent of emotions I felt while reading it, so I'll just explain it in gifs.

I love that despite the fact that Fruits Basket is full of all this light humor and fluffy romance underneath it does have this incredibly dark undertone. That tone was definitely the focus of this volume, completely due to Akito's toxic presence.
It really shows that the Sohma zodiac is a group of incredibly damaged and sometimes just screwed up people and although we've seen that really emphasized with Kyo and Yuki this is the first time you really see how this effects everyone involved and wh...more

The awful Akito continues his antics, this time threatening Tohru if she thinks she can "take away" the juunishi from him. Kyo and Yuki both love Tohru, but both seem resigned to their fate. Little Momiji the Rabbit turns out to have a bigger spine than the whole lot of them. Oh, and we get to know for sure whether Kureno is a member of the Zodiac. I still don't get why Akito keeps him under lock and key, though--I hope that he gets out to see Uo-chan again. Rin shows up again too... I'm confuse...more

It is sad and painful in many ways. Rin hid all her pain from she was young all the way to now. Also I feel Akito is the reason for some of the Sohmas' sadness. Kyo had been suffering for not only been affected by the Sohma curse but he is also a monster that nobody liked. Tohru is the only one who accepted who he was. Akito isn't letting her do that. Also Akito is trying to get rid of Tohru. So I pretty much hate Akito. I feel bad mostly for Kyo...
Yuki made a big declaration last volume, and now...nothing happens. Very anticlimactic, and it leads me to think there might be some translation issues there.
Anyway, more storyline with Rin, and a fabulous scene with Momiji standing up to Akito to protect Tohru. And Kyou has his own Big Realization about Tohru, which is sad and cute and oh so emo.
Again, not as strong as other volumes, but still definitely has some good stuff in it.

After last volume's cliffhanger, this volume contains more revelations. (view spoiler)
I read this volume in one sitting which just shows how good it was. So much happens in this volume, some of it actually shocked me. Akito's identity is finally revealed, which is a good thing because that character has been bugging me since the first time we get to meet him. I can't wait to read the next volume to find out what happens next.

Akito having heard enough about Tohru after talking with the other Sohma members decides to meet with Tohru. Wow, just wow was this a little too emotional and dramatic. Also, Kyo seems to realize that maybe he's starting to like...As always another, good volume in the manga series.

I'm always astounded at how easily manga is able to illustrate thoughts & feelings. It may seem corny or contrived to some, but I really don't see it that way myself. I'm impressed at how naturally it flows in these comics, like mood music or impressionist art.

The stories are good and I keep wanting to read the next one as soon as I finish a volume. I just have trouble figuring out who is saying what because the tails on the word balloons are so tiny. And this manga is one that I still have trouble following the panels with.
Je comprends un peu mieux certaines choses dans toute cette histoire, mais il me semble que tout cela n'est pas prêt de s'éclaircir. J'ai l'impression que c'est justement tout ce mystère qui me pousse à lire à chaque fin d'un tome le suivant.. :)
Things seem to take a darker direction with this volume, and it's nice to see what kind of story the rest of the series might be. I have a hard time with manga series that seem to have no direction, and I'm definitely not feeling that way here.
I HATE AKITO SOO MUCH!! HE DESERVES TO BE PUNCHED IN THE FACE, GET A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE!! HOW DARE HE LAY A FINGER ON POOR LITTLE MOMIJI!!?!!???! ...I'm sorry, I have problems... But now I know who all of the Zodiac is :)
- Finally!! I got some answers to some of my questions!
- Akito is a jerk! What the heck!?
- I hope Tohru can break the Sohma family curse! She better do it!
- Oh you Japanese people! Just because there are no nipples drawn doesn't mean it won't be uncomfortable to see a naked woman!
- What is up with Rin? She has issues!

The series tells the story of Tohru Honda, an orphan girl who, after meeting Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Sohma, learns that thirteen members of the Sohma family are...more

I liked this volume, and this is the real turning point in the story. I think this might be my favorite in the series so far, because you see Kyo wanting to protect Tohru, and realizing that it won’t be easy, and you see Tohru resolving to break the curse so her friends will be okay and so they can be free from Akito.
And of course, no volume of Fruits Basket is complete without fan art, which is always really cool to see. We also learn about the year of the sheep. I miss the random ultra special...more

If you haven't gotten hooked on Fruits Basket, I suggest you start by watching the DVD of the series. It's so good and so cute. Then you can start reading the fruits basket series to fill in the details.
I'm review Vol. 11 because it is so far the one with the most 'action.' The whole series is a little like a soap opera - and the most catastrophic elements are in this volume.
