Now it's time for Tohru to meet another member of the Zodiac--the skillfully sarcastic grade-school student, Hiro! One way or another, this tyke will have to deal with his resentment of Tohru and his affection for Kisa! Voume 8: Summer is on its way, so of course Tohru and friends are excited about the upcoming vacation and field trip. But what's that sound? It's Hatsuharu going beserk in the classroom... again! Black Haru is full of more rage than usual, so what will happen when Yuki intervenes? And then there's Ritsu Sohma, whose mom Tohru met at the hot spring; what's wrong with this kimono-wearing beauty?! Volume 9: Finally summer has arrived! While Tohru struggles through bipolar days of hope and anxiety, what will happen when Yuki comes face-to-face with the new member of the student council?! And... is Uo-chan crazy in love?! Who's that she's hanging out with?! Plus, Hana-chan's past is finally disclosed in a bonus feature! Come join the party in the 9th volume of the super-popular Fruits Basket! Volume 10: Tohru and the Sohmas are spending time at the Sohma family's summerhouse, but it's not all fun in the sun on this little trip. Akito pays a surprise visit, causing a commotion for the rest of the family at the house. Shigure takes a trip down memory lane with an old friend, remembering the days when Hatori wasn't so aloof. Meanwhile, Tohru starts thinking--what must life be like for the parents and lovers of a cursed member of the Sohma family? Can life with this family truly be happy while bearing such a burden? - - - Source: From Tokyopop offical Website

I bought vols 9 & 10 together and read them the same day!! I was so happy!!! lol... I bought the first DVD of the anime as well this weekend (the first 6 episodes)... it makes me cry, and kill myself laughing alternately! lol I love it! Yuki's voice was surprisingly feminine though... The horse is introduced in vol 11 I think (a horse is mentioned)... can't wait! I wonder if it is Akito... (If anyone knows, don't tell me, I'll wait a month and find out, lol )

I finished volume 7 today, but I didn't enjoy it was much as the other books. I guess its because it had that story with that Motoko girl which also appeared in the anime (didn't like that episode very much ^^; Just didn't find it very interesting. We meet Hiro in the book..hahha, I quite enjoyed reading that part, since it was similiar to the anime and I'm quite impressed by what he comes up with to say back at people which is also annoying at the same time. Ah- Kisa is the cutest thing, when she's around Hiro goes all soft "When you do sad things like that..I don't like it"-Kisa "I couldn't be any help back then..you were having such a hard time, Kisa, but I couldn't do anything. But now..now you're always saying "oneechan, onee-chan! But I..but I..I was really..worried about you too, Kisa!" - Hiro "What the hell's he saying"- Kyou ( LOL ) "How shameful. I wanted to be the only one..who can help the one I care about."- Hiro The story with Hiro and how he told Akito about him loving Kisa was so sad.. so did Akito just go and beat Kisa?? I'm assuming Kisa didn't know thereason why Akito did that. He reaction of Shigure was quite funny (as usual), when he was told that Tohru is still uing her middle scool swimsuit ^_^;; Those other girls were hilarious- too busy checking out kyou and Yuki. They expanded Uotani's story and how she became friends with Tohru and her mother in the manga, which I found somewhat interesting, since it wasn't in such detail in the anime. It did drag on a bit though. Why is she always wearing a mask around her face? There's also a part where she's under some bridge or something and there are 3 people. Im not sure what's happening, where the girls had the fight. Is the one in the darker clothes Uotani? "Don't act so cocky, rookie!! This is our Turf. Don't walk around like you own the place!!" I thought those girls looked like they were from Tohru's school, so I'd assume they would have been on the same side? Same gang possibly? Uotani and Tohru's mum look alike Who's the senpai of hers? That's a girl yeh? Is she also part of the gang? - - - [glow=orange,2,300]Edit: Here's a preview for Voulme 11 and 12 from Tokyopop[/glow] Volume 11 Still at the Sohma family vacation house, Tohru and the gang are obliged to visit Akito everyday because Akito is at the other vacation house. However, day after day relationships get more complicated and forbidden love blossoms. But most importantly Tohru's resolve is hardened when Akito's true identity is revealed. Volume 12 The gang is back from their summer vacation and as the new school term begins, a new student council has finally been assembled, with two new secretaries: Naohito, who has declared himself Yuki's rival, and Kimi who is known as a devil woman who steals men's hearts. Along with the new school term, it's also time for parent-teacher conferences to begin. At that time Tohru goes to see her grandfather, and he brings up a part of Tohru's past that she had tried to shut away.

Yay vol 11 soooooon!! I liked the bit with Uo-chan and Tohru's mother, I thought it was sweet. I can't remember which volume (and I don't have them here with me to check) it was when Hanajima's past is revealed too - I loved that, it was so sad it made me all tearful! The mask is part of the 'Yankee' gang's get-up I guess, along with the flicky, long hair and long skirts.... I'm still not sure why they were fighting, I'll re-read it (I've only read each of them once so far).... I'm not a big fan of Hiro - he annoys me, but I love Kisa, she's just adorable!! Bring on vol 11 and Akito!!

I have read up to (and including) vol 11... it's amazing! When you realise who Akito is, it's just a jaw-dropping moment! I was, like, wow!! I must admit though, I read vol 11 a while back (as in late June, early July) and I can't remember it all very well... I might bring it back with me next time I go home because it's definitely my fave manga.... It's funny because Yuki likes Tohru, Kyo likes Tohru, and Tohru is just so sweet and innocent she seems so shocked when Yuki kisses her that you just have to love her!

lol..I think U've actually posted up the Akito spoiler a while back (if u check the earlier posts), but that was when I accidentally stumbled to it ... I haven't actually read up to that yet, read volumne 9, going back to vol 8.It would have been better to read it the right way though since it had references, like Shishou cutting off his ponytail and Rin!!! Rin!!!!!!!!!!!!! They mention Rin (and hinting Haru's relationship with her) and then she appears in the ed of Vol 9!! o__0 *hints something with Shigure* ahh..lol better go back and read8 first then zooming straight into volume 11 ^_^ can't wait..lol = = = = FInally reached the end of Vol 10 !! I can't wait to read the more! The volume was very good! Quite suspenseful as Akito joined the rest of the family to their Summer vacation. It interesting to see the other faimly members interact with each other and how they call diff people different names (diff short forms). So far, I just love the appearance of Rin!! Volume 10 stuff Storyline Spoiler-ish One moment we see Hatsuharu talk about breaking up with Rin, then we meet Rin, and then Rin with Shigure XD I hope to see them meet each other soon =) Quite interesting how they related their senshi to the Sohma family too. I thought that was a bit unexpecting. Shigure seemed to have told her about Memoru supression etc which I don't see why she would believe it. Anyone like this couple (Senshi and Hatori)? mm..I still much prefer Kana ^^;; On the other hand, Shigure's character is very suspicious- he doesn't seem to be scared of Akito at all, and at times, seems to be overpowering him. Akito is making me sick by the day...lol look how he is clinging onto Hatori like that, such a self centered person "He should be so lucky that I give him so much attention. A bping guy like him! (referring to Yuki). Then its even more scary when he greets the other family members "Welcome.Thank you for coming. I'm so happy" o.o In this book, there's more reoccurences of Kureno~I'm guessing he may be the rooster Volume 11
-!!!!! {The best volume so far xD} More spoiler-storyline stuff Kyou's feelings are revealed xD while arguing with Akito!! Happens so closely after when Yuki kisses Tohru..and all the confrontation towards Akito is worth the read~ esp the part where Momiji stands up for Tohru~ he's so brave =)
