フルーツバスケット [Fruits Basket] #4
Fruits Basket, Vol. 4
When the infamous Akito makes an in-class appearance at the start of the school year, the Sohma family worries that his arrival will be an uncensored exercise of show-and-tell about Yuki's past. Meanwhile, when Ayame vows to rekindle his brother's lost friendship, he begins to realize that you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family - especially when they're acting like animals!

Natsuki Takaya (高屋 奈月 Takaya Natsuki, real name Naka Hatake) is the penname of a Japanese manga artist best-known for creating the series Fruits Basket. She was born on July 7, 1973; (Tanabata). Takaya is left-handed and once revealed that she wanted to be a mangaka since first grade, when her sister started drawing.
She was born in Shizuoka, Japan, but was raised in Tokyo, where she made her debut in 1992. She enjoys video games such as the Final Fantasy series or Sakura Wars, or working on her different manga series, such as Fruits Basket, which is the second best-selling shōjo manga ever in Japan, and the top selling shōjo manga in North America. Fruits Basket has also been adapted into a twenty-six-episode anime series.
In 2001, Takaya received a Kodansha Manga Award for shōjo manga for Fruits Basket.
According to Takaya (in a sidebar of a Fruits Basket manga volume), she enjoys drawing girls (girly ones) more than she does boys. Takaya also enjoys electronics and music, but dislikes talking about herself. Also revealed in a sidebar of Fruits Basket, Takaya broke her drawing arm (left) after Fruits Basket volume six was published. She had to go into surgery, and as a result, had put Fruits Basket on a brief hiatus. Takaya made a full recovery, but complains that her handwriting had gotten uglier, due to the surgery. During her hospital stay, she gained an interest in baseball.

OMG!!! I forgot how much I loved this Manga series! <333
Fruits Baskets will always be one of my faves! =)
The highlights of this volume:
”The evidence is irrefutable. The world is filled with things I have yet to comprehend …”
Did Haru truly show him…?!! *LOL* Sooo damn hilarious!!! I can’t even! XD
”If someone can cause those scars there is sure to be someone who can heal them. That fact gives me more than a little courage.”
Well said Shigure! He’s so wise; no wonder he’s always been one of my favourites. If he could just rein in his pervy streak. *LMAO*
”Then you should have slept in Shigure’s room like yesterday!!”
”But Gure-San would have kept me awake.”
“Now now, not in front of the children.”
Speaking of which! Is there actually something going on between Gure-San and Ayame-San?! I would dig this so much! XD
”I want to live with all my memories. Even if they’re sad memories. Even if they’re memories that only hurt me. Even… Even if they’re memories that I’d rather forget.”
Oh, Momiji-Kun!!! His story broke my heart!! That poor boy! He can have all my love!! <333 Also I love that he dressed as a girl! You rock Momiji-Kun! XD
Can’t wait to find out more about mean Akito!

🐶 This volume is Shigure! 🐶
Out of all the Fruits Basket volumes, volume 4 is one that always stuck with me closely over the years. We witness Tohru's first harrowing encounter with Akito, and reflect on the importance of good parenting on the one year anniversary of her mother's passing.
The art in this volume was spot on with presenting the personalities and emotions of the characters. We went from Akito's hard, wretched stare that is hiding so much unknown emotion, to Momiji's sad and yet optimistic eyes as he reflects on his past. The past of Momiji is one I can never really get past. Natsuki Takaya is very talented at making people cry with her backstories! By placing Momiji's backstory beside the one year passing of Tohru's mother, we really are forced to reflect on how much of an impact parents have on their children, and how good or bad acts not only stay with them forever, but play a part in shaping who they become. I love little Momiji with all my heart, and his optimism in such a painful situation is something I will always remember and try to enact myself.
🐷 Next volume is Kagura! 🐷

I tried reading this series on recommendation of a really good friend. She has fantastic taste, and I trust her judgment. But I have to say this series didn't jive for me on a personal level.
I'm missing plot and the hokey dialogue is too much a hurdle for me to get over. It feels like the premise is built on one weak plot point and it runs out of steam quickly. Additionally, these weirdly sexual elements are thrown in at random. What on earth is this thing with the sex toys and sex costumes...and the red light district...with high schoolers? Big turnoff.
I'm not putting down anyone else's taste in this series. I just don't believe manga is for me.
I'd rate this series a PG-13 for the occasional swear word and fetish sexual undertones.

Oh man, Momiji breaks my heart. I love that kid so much. To this day, no story has had quite the impact as that story he tells about the Traveller who gives everything away. *river of tears*
Natsuki Takaya wreaked all kinds of mad havoc on my poor tattered heart, but rarely so much as this single volume.

How did I let so much time slip before picking this series back up? Another solid volume - we meet Ayame, learn more about Momiji's backstory, and have our first graveside lunch, hehehe.

Réflexe de Pavlov avec l'histoire de Momiji : je vois la première case, je lis le mot "Mutti" et je me mets à chialer. Encore. Heureusement qu'il y a Ayamé. (Et ça n'est toujours que le tome 4).

This series keeps getting better and better! I'm not kidding! The story in this volume really got intense. I would definitely say that this is the saddest volume so far. You really feel for what the characters go through and you can bet you will shed a tear for these beautifully created characters. I know I was tearing up when I was finding out about the past of some of these characters... AND I RARELY EVER CRY FOR ANYTHING!!! My word... the things that happen... it's... just too heart-wrenching for me to even think about let alone write about. Besides, I don't want to tell you what happened. That would be a spoiler, my friends, and I hate spoilers so... go read the manga so that way you'll know what I'm referring to.
Okay, so I really don't need to tell you how awesome Takaya-sensei is. I've said it in my previous reviews so there's no point to repeat myself, right? WRONG!!! XD I'm going to continue to say how amazing she is! I cannot get enough of her. My love for her went up a billion because of this volume. From what she made Haru do, to introducing the snake (which I happen to be), and then... TALKING ABOUT CLOUD STRIFE! WAH!!! HOW FLIPPING AMAZING IS THAT!? DUDE, DUDE, IF YOU LOVE FINAL FANTASY, ESPECIALLY FINAL FANTASY VII, AND CLOUD THEN YOU'LL COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND MY FANGIRLINESS RIGHT NOW! XD If you don't then... what the hell are you doing here? XP I'm just kidding. But no, really, Takaya-sensei is just epic. She talks about video games all the time and you want to know what's the best part? I understand everything she says about them because of how big on video games I am! XD
Well, uh, I guess I should go back to talking about the manga, ne? *Cough* So, as I've said, this volume was particularly sad. The characters went through so much that... I'm afraid to really talk about it because any little thing I say will just give it away. This is going to be another difficult review. Tohru is a constant support to everyone she comes in contact with, Yuki has a lot of things revealed about his past that makes you want to bash Akito for, Akito is an ass ('Nuff said), and Kyo... oh man, Kyo! Why do you play with my heart so? Wah! He's soooooooooooooo sweet! SO CLOSE! SO BLOODY CLOSE!!! Oh well... there's always the future. Nothing wrong with waiting. Yeah, he's awesome. I really think that he's quickly becoming my favorite character...
...but then I think of Haru and HE'S my favorite character again! Oh my God! I just cannot believe some of the shit he does when he's "Black!" God! He cracks me up and makes me fall in love with him all over again! XD Man, I wish I could make him mine... but I can't. So, that's that! XD The Mabudachi trio made an appearance! Shigure, Hatori, and newcomer, Ayame! These three together is crack waiting to happen. Especially Ayame! Really? Offering yourself? Dude, you know I love yaoi. I think you're just doing it to... *GASP* It makes sense now! The connection with the whole snake thing! Le gasp! I didn't think of it before but now... *Faints* ...I can't believe it... anyway! On with the review! I love Ayame. He tried so hard for Yuki... cute~ And you see the pain he goes through because of how he tries to be there for him. Oh, and Ayame, I love Hari, too! X3 I think the one with the saddest story in this volume is Momiji. I won't tell you what happens but... it's his story that breaks my heart the most... *Still wiping away tears*
This volume was very hard to get through. Not because it was bad but because it was so depressing. Yes. I did say that it will start getting darker as time goes on but... I feel that it keeps everything balance so well. You can't just have light and fluffy all the time. Life isn't like that and that's what I love about Takaya-sensei's work. She keeps it realistic even if it does have a fantasy element to it. It's that realistic aspect that keeps me wanting to see what will happen to these beautiful characters. Well, that and the fact that all the guys are hot! *Is so not shallow* XD If you haven't guessed already, I really recommend you pick up this series. It's amazing and not reading it is like not taking a shower for five months, stupid and disgusting. So get to it!

-A more entertaining read than volume 3.
-Tohru, Shiguire, Momiji and Kyo were as likeable as ever. Yuki was more interesting in this one, his antagonistic relationship with his older brother gave him some much needed personality
-Loved Uo and Hana, the way they both looked out for Tohru was sweet. There should be more female friendships like Uo/Hana/Tohru in fiction.
-Yuki's brother Ayame was pretty funny. I enjoyed reading about Ayame, Hatori and Shiguire's friendship as teens.
-Momiji's history was so sad. I can't believe he didn't have any bitterness toward his mum for rejecting him and erasing all memory of him. I don't why he still loves her and is nice to her, he should hate the cow.
-I liked the glimpses of Tohru's mum, the mother-daughter bond between them was so lovely.
-Loved that Kyo was becoming more and more protective of Tohru.
-All in all, a fun and charming installment.

5/5 stars
Fruits Basket is the cutest romance with a very important mythological element you'll ever find! And that's because, when hugged or touched in a not so friendly way by the opposite gender, or when they are in extreme distress, the members of the Sohma family turn into animals! And specifically, the animals of the Chinese Horoscope.
And this manga has also a very unique element. I won't spoil it and tell you what it is, though. Anyways, my point is that whatever happens, no matter if you're a fan of manga or not, no matter if you'll like this or not, everybody will take something from this series. And this is one word. Hope. Hope for the future, that the pain will end and creativity beyond everything. And in our painful society, hope can be a very important tool
Highly recommended, both the anime and the manga

Chapters 19-24.
Akito is one scary dude! Boy, what is wrong with him? Total spoiling? How can you be loyal to that? I was kind of hoping he'd fall for Tohru, oh well.
Loved meeting Aaya too, Yuki's older brother by 10 years! He's crazy too, saying outrageous things and I love him for that. I love that he's the snake and only ever listens to Hatori and thinks Tohru is like Hatori always helping people. Best meeting yet!!
Momiji's history is too sad! I love when such tragedy is contrasted to an upbeat personality.
Loved Yuki and Kyo's realizations, it will be a sad day when one finally steps forward - I so want to see where this is going.
BOTTOM LINE: Aaaaaaayyyyyaaaa, yay!

A really fun and cute series. The premise is really original and enjoyable. The characters are interesting and lovable. My only complaint is the story-line is a bit drug-out.
January 3, 2021
I love the bond between Uo Hana and Tohru. I also like the bonds between Ayame and Shigure. Seeing the bond between Tohru and her mom was nice, as was seeing Uo and Hana's bond with her as well. There were some touching moments, as well as some sad ones. Does almost everyone have issues though??? Like, seriously both Momoji and Yuki had such sad stories. I also really don't like Akito. His evil smile just makes me wanna slap him, and his words to Yuki... what a manipulator! The art is better than the first volume, but still just ok.

I loved this volume! Finally, we met the "bad guy."

Akito is going to hurt my sweet baby Tohru and I'm not OK with that.
I noticed that we haven't been seeing much of Kyou, recently. Maybe it's because of the introduction of all these new characters as well as Yuki's development that are preventing him from having his moment. Anyway, I really, really hope to see more of him and his relationship with Tohru.

Inizia un nuovo anno scolastico e Haru e Momiji si trovano nella stessa scuola di Tohru, Yuki e Kiyo e ne vedremo delle belle già al primo giorno! Facciamo poi la conoscenza del temibile capo famiglia Akito e poi di Aya, il fratello maggiore di Yuki che è un personaggio molto singolare ma mi è piaciuto e ha divertito parecchio; lui e Yuki sono alquanto distanti ma grazie anche a Tohru cercheranno di avvicinarsi. Il volume finisce con due episodi molto dolci e materni, con Momiji e il suo rapporto con la madre e l’anniversario della morte della mamma di Tohru con Yuki, Kiyo e le più care amiche della ragazza che cercheranno di rendere quel giorno meno triste. Mi piace molto come questa serie unisca scene diverentissime ad altre che trattano temi alquanto seri e questo volume è un esempio perfetto di ciò, visto che inizia con tanto divertimento, finisce in maniera tragica/triste mentre la parte centrale è un misto tra i due. Mi è piaciuto davvero tanto!

The momiji's mother chapters and visiting Kyon-kun's grave just really brings out all the water falls 😭😭
You just cannot read these chapters and not gain intense appreciation of Momiji and Tohru, choosing to smile through their hardships and worst moments... not wanting to forget even the most painful memories... And best of all, being a ray of adorable sunshine and hope
And I was so upset for Kyo during the grave visit, he's quietly contemplative the whole time and you can feel his anguish and chaos (as Hanajima puts it) after knowing his relationship with Kyon and then later when she dies.. it's the worst and oh my the last couple of chapters just really punch you right in the gut.. 5 whole stars... For all the pain...
Oh and last scene with Kyo caressing a sleeping Tohru's cheek and quietly apologizing 🥺🥺🥺

Shout out to Tohru's two friends for being so fucking supportive and loving! We don't see nearly enough female friendships in mangas so the fact that we have such a strong and healthy relationship just makes me want to cry!
This volume had such a melancholy mood to it. It was all about family and clinging onto your loved ones. Momiji's story specially hit me hard since I wasnt expecting it! We learned some secrets but the mystery of it just keeps on building. Here's to hoping we can weather the storm once it hits!
This volume covers chapters 19-24. 41 stars

There was a lot going on in this volume which made it a little more serious than the last. We are introduced to Aya, the year of the snake and Yuki's brother, where both have a strained relationship with each other. We also have Momiji's family life revealed to us and we learn of his personal tragedy. There are other important moments in this volume as well, but these two stood out the most to me since it is late at night and I am sleepy. A great volume!

This manga has easily became one of my comfort series. I am obsessed with the art and the characters and I always enjoy it! It'll make me laugh or cry or cry from laughing so hard. If you are new to mangas (and even if you are not) I STRONGLY recommend this series. 5/5 stars.
