Welcome to Litsy!

Another cute instalment.
Sawa has a horrible mother, but at least she finally has some friends.
The Sohma‘s seem like a nice family (and I still have no idea who from the originals 90% of them are related to)

Again, very cute.
It would be very tiring trying to keep track of the huge Sohma family! But they are very welcoming.

I am trying to piece together who everyone‘s parents are from the original, but I‘m not having much luck 😂

A super cute start to this series.
Very mysterious but no one is turning into zodiac animals, so I am interested in what makes the family so popular/intriguing in this generation.

“An incredibly sparkly boy has appeared!” 🤣

Did I spend allllll day in town waiting on my car being serviced? Yes I did. And I also have to go back as my maintenance contract won‘t pay for something that needs replacing. BUT all is not lost!

I am behind the times but today I discovered there is a fruits basket sequel and the shop I was in had all 4 🎉

Couldn't resist buying it! Didn't help it was on sale. Anyone else out there who's a Fruits basket fan?

The Sohmas are free. What does that mean? The manga leaves us as they are all beginning their new journeys. The end is as hopeful as the entirety of the series. It was the appropriate closure I needed. I know some have felt that Akito changed too fast but I think it‘s clear that she has work to do and that it will take everyone some time. This series has the underlying theme of the power of love and hope. Love always wins.

Akito is crumbling to bits, right along with the curse. Can Tohru reach them? Is it really ever too late for change? (I don‘t want to give spoilers, so I‘ll leave my review at this…) ☺️ This moment between Yuki and Kyo was cathartic.

While I still love this manga, this volume is mostly build up for future events and backstory. This is, of course, very useful in a long series like this, but it can feel heavy when you‘re binging like I am. 😂 As usual, Ayame‘s shenanigans make me laugh. There‘s some real character development happening with everyone.
