Product Description

Product Description
Kyo finishes telling Tohru about his role in her mother's death and how the reason he disappeared for so long was that he felt so guilty about it. He explains that he overcame his guilt by blaming everything on Yuki, but he realizes he was only running away from his own feelings. But how will he react when Tohru says that she still loves him?

5.0 out of 5 stars People, feelings can't be tied up, 16 Jan 2009
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Poor Kyo Sohma. Not only is he an outcast, doomed to life in a prison, and pitied by his family... but he's also got a tragic secret connecting him to the girl he loves.

And he and Tohru have even rougher problems in the twenty-first volume of "Fruits Basket," where Natsuki Takaya starts wrapping up some of the more personal storylines all at once. There's a little romance, a little comedy, and lots of sorrow and self-discovery in this manga, especially for the much-abused Kyo and his half-suppressed feelings for Tohru.

Kyo blurts out his tragic connection to Tohru's late mother, expecting Tohru to utterly reject him. Instead, Tohru reveals her own feelings for him. But after he leaves, she's confronted by an enraged Akito, who accuses her, "You've made ME the outsider, and everyone loves you." But as Tohru suddenly realizes what Akito's problem is, she makes the desperate Sohma an offer...

... just in time for the ground to literally crumble under her feet. Her accident throws the already-fragile Akito into a tailspin, and causes the entire Sohma zodiac to be thrown into turmoil. Already blaming himself, Kyo has a nasty confrontation with Yuki in which the two boys reveal what they really think about one another. Well, we knew from early in the series, but it's nice that they're telling each other.

If the manga "Fruits Basket" can be said to have a climax, then the twenty-first volume might actually be it. A whole bunch of storylines -- Akito's nutty loneliness, Kyo's hidden guilt, Tohru and Kyo's love for each other, and Kyo and Yuki's mutual envy -- are all addressed in these chapters, although it's clear that some of these plots aren't yet over.

And Takaya takes the chance to show how much Tohru has come to mean to all of the zodiac members, as well as how much stronger they have grown because of her. Even Akito begins to realize that she doesn't have to be alone even without the curse.

But after a few volumes of angst and sorrow, Takaya also weaves in some lighter stuff, including some truly exquisite romantic moments (including a cute little kiss). And Yuki unexpectedly provides some comic relief ("Are you trying to lighten the mood, brag, or just start in on sexual harrassment?" "Can't it be all three?"), particularly with Kakeru ("You wanna cry in my manly bosom?" "I'm going to punch you into the sun").

Tohru is the center of this volume, although she spends little time actually onscreen -- her goodness and love are what the rest of the plot runs on. Kyo begins painfully creeping out of his shell as Tohru's feelings become clear, and Akito is shown as a desperate, lonely creature who desperately wants just one friend. Yes, even after she starts swinging that knife around, you feel sorry for her.

The twenty-first volume of "Fruits Basket" has the bittersweet feeling of a story that is approaching its end, with plenty of tragedy, romance and comedy along the way.
