Book: Fruits Basket, Volume 15 by Natsuki Takaya

Publishing: Published by TokyoPop; 194 Pages; Paperback

Goodreads Summary: Yuki’s past finally is revealed! But is it all too much to bear? His sickness takes a turn for the worse, and after Akito reminds Yuki how loathed he is, his will to live might finally be drained… Meanwhile, as Tohru is getting ready to perform in Cinderella, the class decides that they have to rewrite the play. But no amount of revision will prevent Tohru from improvising her loving feelings for a certain someone. Just who is the mystery man?

I think this may be one of my favorite volumes of Fruits Basket.  We learn more about Yuki’s childhood and his connection to Tohru.  You really do understand why Yuki acts the way he does.  I really liked seeing the class play they put on, and some of the trouble they had with it.  Tohru’s really changing: she’s still herself, and in a lot of ways, she’s still the same Tohru we met at the beginning of the series.  But she’s also speaking up for herself a little more, which is great to see.

I, of course, loved the artwork.  And the fan art is amazing too.  I really do like seeing what the fans come up with.

I give it a 5 out of 5.
