Sorry I missed Card Captor Sakura yesterday. I went to a conference. But the good news is we got our main entertainment center fixed, which is also where the exercise bike is:)
So I read Fruits Basket #19 this past week. Some interesting things happen. We get the closest thing to a look at the real Shigure we have yet seen. No wonder Hatori calls Shigure a terrible person. Yet, you can’t really blame Syigure really, though possibly you can blame the way he handles it, especially using Tohoru.
We also get a look at Momiji’s grown-up look. Just as Hatsuharu predicted in a much earlier volume, Momiji does look quite handsome. But he still acts like himself. Rather funny to see the new Momiji still sucking on lollipops:P
We also get to meet Kakeru’s girlfriend, Komaki. I like her:) She and Kakeru are a good match:) And we also find out how Kakeru knew Tohoru from before. It turns out that Komaki’s Dad was the one driving the car that hit Tohru’s Mom. He was killed instantly.
And we also get more brotherly love between Yuuki and Ayame when Yuuki visits the store again:)
Finally, it seems that most of the cast know how Tohoru and Kyo feel about each other. But those two still aren’t ready to admit it yet^^;
As a postscript, the TokyoPop version usually has fan art and such at the end. This one has an American doujinshi. I’ve seen better art, I’ve seen worse personally. As for the story, parts of it had the characters spot on and was very funny as a result. Part was . . . interesting.
Volume #20 comes out in June or July. This means Fruits Basket will most likely finish being released next year finally!
