Don’t be fooled. It may look like this chapter is all about Haru, but it’s really about Yuki. Read more
Chapter 13: A Battle between Men
If the first two volumes were mainly about the developing bonds of trust among our main trio (Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru), then the next few volumes are focused on watching the relationships between Tohru and each of the boys grow and change in different ways. Also meeting all the members of the Zodiac. Read more
Chapter 12: When the Snow Melts
Akito: It seems Hatori is like snow. He’s as cold as snow. Read more
Chapter 11: Home for the Holidays
I get the feeling that Tohru Honda marches to the beat of her own drum. She had no problem accepting that we change into animals. And even though she’s been through a lot more hardships than most high school girls, she’s always smiling, as if none of it weighs her down. We’ve been living together for four months now, but there’s still part of her that I can’t grasp yet.
Chapter 10: The Sohma Curse
Tohru begins to understand the true nature of the Sohma family and their “secret”.
Chapter 9: Words Spoken Out of Love
There’s a lot going on in this chapter, and most of it won’t be properly dealt with until later. Read more
Chapter 8: A Plum on Your Back
As the gears of the plot are slowly set in motion, Tohru has a small breakthrough with Kyo.
Chapter 7: To Have the Moon
Chapter 6: A Rice Ball in a Fruits Basket
As Tohru says goodbye to the Sohmas, she remembers a little game she once played in school: Fruits Basket. She was dubbed the “rice ball”, when you were supposed to have the name of a fruit.
Tohru: The “fun game” played out right in front of me, and I waited for Rice Ball to be called. I waited and waited…that’s right. Ever since I was little, I’ve never given things enough thought. After all, a rice ball could never be part of a fruits basket. Read more
My Top 5 Princess Tutu Episodes
So I was recently rewatching Princess Tutu (again), and I finally came up with five episodes I’m content to declare as favorites (which is way harder than it was with Fruits Basket due to the far more consistent quality). These aren’t necessarily the “best” (they’re not even always the ones I most enjoy, as that often fluctuates with my mood), but I certainly enjoy them a lot every time I watch them. Read more
