I liked young Momoji, but I love grown up Momoji. His chapter was where I began to tear up, and then Hiro made me cry. The moment with Hiro holding his sister? It had been set up so well, I could see it coming, but that didn't make it any less powerful.
I totally agree that the Tohru falling off the cliff thing could have been so stupid, but yet wasn't.
It's funny: I adore Kyo, and I adore Kyo with Tohru, but the fact that Kyo and Yuki finally really talked to each other ended up having so much more of an impact on me than that kiss and the shippy stuff. I'd been waiting for that conversation ever since Kyo and Yuki fessed up to Tohru that they wanted to be each other way back when.
And chapter 126: well, I was so pleased. For Kyo, of course, but also for Akito.
The whole confrontation with Kyo and Yuki was SO good. It was what brought my fondness for Yuki screaming back into focus, after being rather 'meh' about him for a long time (I'm not fond of the student council parts, despite liking Kakeru--too much focus away from the Sohmas as a whole).
Gaaah, yes! Though I think I have a higher tolerance for the Student Council bits, probably because I absolutely adore Yuki and Machi. And just Machi being awkard and cute.
And I loved seeing Machi buying something for Tohru, just because it seems to crystallize Tohru as a catalyst for all the Sohmas. Also... awwwwwww!
I keep finding that I'm not so bad with the student council chapters when I'm reading them in whole volumes, and I do see their purpose--Yuki definitely needed to develop away from the family, not within it. But Takaya has this habit of abruptly having one or two chapters with them when we're on pins and needles over the main story, and it's insanely frustrating to have them on a chapter-by-chapter basis. (If any of the remaining five chapters center on them, there'll be shrieking. Or something.)
The chapter with Yuki and Machi was awfully cute, though. *^^*
Totally ate my brain! I think I hit Kyo's confession and I just barrelled through the whole thing last night, which took a considerable amount of energy because it was all in Japanese and I couldn't make out the furigana.
But... eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
I mean, I love love love the Tohru/Kyo romance, but yes. One of my absolute favorite parts was Yuki going up there to yell at Kyo. Well, that and Momiji being released from the curse. I want to hug Momiji so much!

Now you know why this completely ate my brain!
