Vol. 5 - Tohru and the Sohmas spend time at the Sohma vacation cottage and the atmosphere with some of them is very emotional. The next Sohma she meets is Kisa, the Tiger 🐅, who is a young runaway struggling with personal issues in school and home yet Tohru slowly has her come out of her shell. Back at school, the merciless junior student Motoko Minagawa sees her as an enemy to her obsessive attraction to Yuki. She and her accomplices try to get some knowledge on her by visiting her friend Hana-chan and we also meet her equally emotionless younger brother Megumi who claims he can put curses on others. Finally, the Sohma men take care of a sick Tohru.
Vol. 6 - During their rainy summer, the Sohma house gets a visit from Kazuma-Dono, a martial arts master who’s taught some of the Sohmas and is Kyo’s master. It all takes a shocking turn when Kyo’s other form, a grotesque creature with a rotten smell, is revealed and Tohru is the only one who can calm him and show that she cares about him. We also learn a lot about Kyo’s past with him living with an unstable mom and being seen as inferior for having the cat curse, as well as Kazuma being an amazing father figure to him. Finally, Yuki and Tohru visit his brother Ayame’s costume where she meets his assistant Mine, see the brothers in their average tussling and we even see her in a beautiful dress.
