Still reading Fruits Basket

[dangermousie]

Hmmm, so the head of the Sohma family is someone named Akito. Haven't met him yet but he doesn't sound too awesome as he seems a little trigger happy about erasing people's memories and he told child!Yuki that if normal people found about the Sohma family curse (all the boys turn into animals when hugged by members of the opposite sex) they would

I'm up to ep 8 of Fruits Basket :) Yuki is also my fave, but now I am starting to see how Kyo would suit Tohru better ^^

As for Akito? I still don't get why he's the head of the Sohma family. Gives me the shivers >_>

Kyo needs her more...Yuki more needed to meet her, if that makes sense.

Akito being the head is part of the curse...he's a figure in the mythology and has a pretty tragic lot for it...I'd feel bad for him if he weren't scum who devoted his life to making everyone else in his life miserable.

[miss_dian]

Yeah, I agree, Kyo needs her more than Yuki :) And thanks for the info on Akito.

[dangermousie]

This is so good. Are you watching anime or reading the manga?

[meganbmoore]

Yes, Kyo and Sano ARE rather alike? Brash temperamental hothead with inner sweetie and brutal and messed up but still noble and obsessively devoted to their woman are my types...though I'm always up for just a plain welldone good old badboy(I wonder if this is why I don't date

[dangermousie]

Thanks for the explanation. Akito sounds awful. And I think I have fallen for Kyo.

[meganbmoore]

In time, all fall for Kyo, even the most hesitant.

Akito is a wretch...one of those who thinks everyone has to suffer because he does and has the power to make sure they do. Since Tohru makes his various cousins feel happy and like they're actually, you know, worthy of being alive, she's a threat to him. So he does something(I can tell you the only slightly spoilery basics) that puts him eternally on my hate meter to Tohru(not that I would have liked him anyway)

Since Tohru makes his various cousins feel happy and like they're actually, you know, worthy of being alive

I got the sense that neither Kyo nor Yuki really felt 'worthy' of anything before (though Shigure seems well balanced but then he is much older). Ohhhh. Poor woobies.

I didn't read the manga yet but I watched the anime maybe from year ago,and it was awesome I really liked it.

[dangermousie]

I can't wait to watch the anime but I want to read the manga first so I won't get spoiled. So awesome.

[meganbmoore]

the anime covers roughly vol 1-7 then makes up its own ending. IMO, it's likely the ending the mangaka would have written if she had to end it then(who knows, maybe they asked her to help with it) IMO, it's the best "for the anime" ending of a series that started out to cover the whole manga.

[dangermousie]

I'll get it after that, then. I wish they'd animate the rest...
