Kyo is forced to face his feelings and has an epiphany at the worst possible moment.
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.
Chapter 60: Leaving the Nest
Yuki’s taken a big step forward, even if we don’t know exactly what that step is yet. But it’s having an obvious effect, and since Yuki’s reached some resolution, it’s time for the narrative to turn toward Tohru.
Chapter 59: Delusion
I want to believe that there’s more to life than darkness. I want to believe that just as the sun returns after the rain, that no matter how badly I’m beaten down, it will always be followed by an abundance of kindness.
Chapter 58: Swallowed Seeds
Hiro’s having a baby (sibling)!
Chapter 54: The Wrong Idea
Yuki continues to be the main focus, but we still get more hints about other characters and plot developments as the Beach Arc gets under way.
Chapter 53: Lost and Found
I can’t run away forever from the lid screwed tightly shut…
This chapter is loaded with hints, but the one solid answer only raises more questions.
