Still on Beautiful Life and Fruits Basket

[dangermousie]

Before leaving this morning, I needed a pick-me up, so I watched a certain scene from ep 6 of Pride. Meeeeep. Still awesome.

Speaking of awesome, I have continued with my watch of Beautiful Life and am now halfway through episode 7. Love it as much as ever.

Your FB posts make me so happy. BTW, it was only up to vol 4 when I discovered it(ditto for wallflower, hana kimi and basara) so I'm long since conditioned to waiting for it

Wow, if it was only 4 volumes when I discovered it, I would have gone insane, much as I am currently with Vampire Knight and Genbu Kaiden (OMG! I started rereading because I only read the first two volumes and now five are out and Limdo=LOVE. I love how he is snarky and cynical and tries not to care but of course does. And just think of bi fun Takiko could have if it wasn't for the pesky virgin thing :D).

Haru's love for Yuki is rather like the love they all have for Tohru, because Yuki gave him a since of self worth.

That's a really good point. The explanation did already come up (vol. 5 I think) and I love how all the 'good' characters repay care and consideration in kind (Haru with Yuki, Kyo and Yuki with Tohru etc etc) maybe because they see so little care otherwise. They are all still kids in a lot of ways (as opposed to the awesome Trio who are adults) and have to muddle through to being a good functional person on their own, with little guidance.

I also love how, any time Black Haru feels violent, he picks a fight with Kyo

Heh. If I'd know about scanslations when I first started reading manga, all my online time would be spent on them. As it is, I became conditioned to waiting. I've only given in to scanslations for 2 series, both of which people were teasing me mercilessly about future events. Though I'm on the verge of giving in to scanslations of Full Metal Alchemist after stumbling across a couple of spoilers about my OTP that have me slavering

I first met Rin in Book 7 (I think) briefly, and then she appears at the end of 9. I really like her.

Uo and Hana completely have Kyo's number as far as Tohru is concerned.

I think everyone does, except for Tohru and Kyo themselves :D

they essentially have no choice. Besides, he's had since birth to condition people who can't defend themselves against him into thinking they're worthless and only exist to serve him.

Oh, I hate Akito so much (I just finished Vol 9 and found what fate he has in store for Kyo). I do love that Kyo's adoptive father stands up to him (YESSSS), and I can see why the current zodiac characters obey because they must and because they've been brain-washed, but there is no excuse for the rest of the family, especially the adults, who are either, scared, or indifferent or all for it as Akito holds the purse strings.

Ah. I forgot about the early glimpses of Rin. She doesn't really do muh until later though(too busy with those internal injuries and such)
