dangermousieYes, still Fruits Basket. Just finished volume 9.
It just gets better!
OMG. OMG. Kyokyokyokyo. How horrible! No wonder he is so incredibly twitchy when we first meet him. Sohma family is just...seriously someone should report them to child services and then they will be locked away and I'll cheer. Because OMG OMG OMG OMG!
When Kyo and Tohru visit Kazuma's (Kyo's adoptive father's house), and it's so adorable, with the friendly bickering between Kyo and Kazuma (Kyo never acts so much as a 'real boy' as he does with Kazuma, except with Tohru), and Kazuma burning all the food he was cooking for their visit because he got spaced out reading (I've so been there, done that) and Tohru volunteers to cook instead and Kyo helps, and they are so adorable together (OM! At one point he leans over her grinning and eeeee! Shippy squee!!!!), and you can see how happy Kazuma is to see Kyo like that, a normal boy, enjoying himself (btw, I love Kazuma's secretary too. When he tells Tohru about how Kyo was like a kid and Kyo is all embarassed, LOL.)
But then Kyo's birth father wants to see Kazuma and Kazuma goes to meet him so Kyo won't find out. And and and and...
OMG.
Apparently, the 'cat' when he reaches majority, has to come back to the main house, and get locked up for the rest of his life in a dark room, never to leave it and always alone. The HELL??????? No wonder Kyo went all freaking-out when they had to make plans for their future in school. He knows what Akito (Akito hate!!!) has set for his fuure, so no wonder he flipped. (Also no wonder he is so active now).
Bt you know what's the worst part of it? Kyo's father is there, to talk to Kazuma, so as Kazuma won't cause any trouble when it has to happen! His own father! And he refers to Kyo as a 'thing!' and talks about him not being able to bear to have that 'thing' live outside, and he blames him for his wife's death and OMG OMG OMG horrible.
But my Kazuma love knows no bounds. Because he doesn't even bother to respond to the accusation that he just took Kyo in for the money, but says he will never go along with the plan (yes! Finally a member of the Sohma family standing up to evil Akito!) and he walks out, telling Kyo's father to grow up. To find Kyo and Tohru having fun in the kitchen and wondering where he went and he says he won't let anything happen to Kyo (who is of course clueless as to what brought that on).
Poor Kyo. But I can see why Kazuma is so happy to have Tohru around. Because he and the secretary are remembering Kyo of a year ago, who wouldn't even smile or lift his head (I think that happened after he found out about what was supposed to happen to him, and also after Tohru's Mom died).
In case, you can't tell, I am still all about Kyo. I like all the other characters, but somehow the manga gets more interesting when he's around. And I love how he is clueless about his feeling for Tohru: Shigure is trying to push him, for drama, and he is all 'huh?' but when Black Haru goes on a rampage and is about to involve Tohru he snaps :)
And that brings me to Haru. I love him. Love him, love him. He is so awesomely protective and caring, even Yuki comments on it. And he gets Tohru through the Haunted House by making random stories to make her feel better. Poor guy, his break up with Rin (whom we've just met, as for some odd reason she is trying to seduce Shigure ???? She's hot though :D) is driving him up the wall. That is why he finally snaps into Black Haru. But seeing that Rin is in the hospital and just got out, and she was crying to Hiro earlier, not only is it certain Akito is behind her injuries (as the Trio was discussing earlier), I bet it's because Akito went nuclear finding out about the relationship between her and Haru and she is trying to protect him. Akito=hate.
And OMG, if I didn't get a bad!wrong vibe from Akito's fixation on his male cousins and hatred of having them hook up with anyone, I certainly have it after meeting Kureno. OMG, how much do I love that little story. Uo, Tohru former gang leader friend, is working in a convenience store, and she bumps into Kureno, who has no idea there are shopping baskets and they totally connect (it's so cute when he bows in thanks and his purchases go flying). And then she bumps into him again, and he asks her to lunch and it's the most adorable thing, and he tells her he's never shopped in a convenience store before because he doesn't get time off and he says he's content but she thinks to herself his smile is very lonely. And then there is more awesomeness and cuteness and awkwardness (because he is 26, 9 years older than she is) and he admits that he couldn't stop thinking about her either and there is shippy awesomeness and his touching her hair and smiling, finally, a real smile. EEEE!
But then, he comes home, and you see the person he comes home to is Akito and Akito is all 'I hope you didn't cause trouble on being ouside, Kureno' and there is creepy face-touching (the way someone would with a boyfriend) and eeek eeeek eeeek eeeeek! Seriously creepy bad!wrong creepy.
Hmmm, what else. I loved Yuki's interactions with the weirdos at the Student Counsel. Heeee. He is beginning to come out of his shell more and more. And I love the progress he is making with his brother. Yuki has all these barriers but I think his brother is beginning to get through.
And of course, Uo and Hana's stories confirm that they are all misfits. The story of FB really is coming to terms with who you are and finding happiness no matter how odd you are so yay.
Oh, and we meet Ritsu and I feel bad for him but OMG he and Shigure's editor as so cute together.
It just gets better!
