It’s been a precious time. It is for me, and for everyone else too, I think. For Yuki-kun, and Kyo-kun too. Something about Yuki-kun has changed since coming here. Something about Kyo-kun too. I’m sure it’s a very good thing. What about me…? Read more

Chapter 62: The Way We’re Made
Chapter 61: Wild Horses
This chapter is positively brimming with subtle character interactions and not-so-subtle plot developments – about as narrative-driven as one could wish for from this series.
So Yuki is starting to take a more active role in the Sohma family intrigues, and I think it’s safe to say that it’s not because his fears are any less, but that he’s finally found something to fight for. When he overhears Shigure insinuate that Akito (with Kureno) is heading out to meet Tohru, he decides to tail them.
