Yeah, what she said!! It's Kyo all the way. But if he doesn't get together with Tohru-- then I think we'll have to fight for Kyo.

I didn't say what I thought of Aya the first time, but since you asked again *clears throat* I sorta think he's a pervie. I mean, crawling up girl's clothes and instructing his whole student body to throw themselves with reckless abandon at him. Bleh.

He may be attractive, but I can't stand a good looking guy who doesn't have the personality to back it up. Sorry I can't offer you conradory(sp?)., but-- I can't.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Yes, that is the one part I didn't like. *highschool* But maybe I just see him differently. Have you seen the series? Actually the only thing I wanted to know was if he was in this manga....but I guess he is.

Yep, he is. He's in quite alot of it. If you're a big Ayame fan, you should buy volume 4.

I haven't had a chance to pick up Vol. 4 of Fruits Basket yet, seeing as it doesn't even come out til tomorrow (oh, wait, now it's today, I guess), and our hick town bookstores might not even have it *sob*! But anywa, I was kinda confused about the whole cap thing too, to bring that up again...I was SURE that it was Kyo, and I wanted it to be! Just go to this website , it's really comprehensive, and see for yourself, or don't, if you still want to have your own thoughts and opinions ...anyway...I thought that Fruits Basket was only 12 volumes long, but according to that site, it's 14, and the site made it seem like there were more coming out in Japan or something...I dunno...

I was pretty sure it was complete at fourteen, but I'm not sure on that score though. Oh, gee--- that would be REALLY bad if I ever had to wait more than two months for my Fruits Basket. Why--- I think I'd internally combust! *burst into flame just thinking about it.*

I got it! I got it! *does happy that she got Fruits Basket vol. 4 dance*

It's SO good!!! I read it in like no time, but I'm gunna hafta read it again, just because! I love Ayame, and Hatsuharu! They make me giggle...And yeah, supposedly the anime left off with like vol. 8 or something (but I've heard from other sources that it's vol. 6, so I dunno).

I'm not putting SPOILER tags on this, so sry if you haven't read the 4th volume, but that's why this thread created!

I LOVE the part at the end where Kyo and Yuki both START to realize their feelings for Tohru (though Uo makes the comment about how dense they are!). Then Kyo finds Tohru asleep on the porch...*SIGH*...

Yeah!! The porch scene is forever engraved in my memory. *sigh* I'll tell you who I'm really loving recently(and especially in volume 4)l HATORI!!! My gosh, he is sucha bishie. I'm lovin' the long hair.

I guess I have a weakness for tragic characters. I hope he gets a girl in the end. *IF YOU KNOW, DON'T TELL ME!!!*

Oh, yeah, and can you say Akito=EVIL!! What is up with him?? He acts all nice and kind to Tohru, then turns on evil mode when Yuki's around, and freaks the poor boy out! Ugh!!! Akito is annoying to me, especially since he uses his power as 'head' of the family for evil (mostly), and not good!! And Shigure is basically his pawn...I seriously think Shigure's got something up that 'writer's' kimono's sleeve of his!!!

The main reason Akito bothers me is [spoiler]he's so bent out of shape and psycho about the fact that he's been told from the day he was born he was going to die. Whoop-de-da. Everyone will die at some point in time.[/spoiler] I just wanna smack him for it. Knock some sense into his thick skull. ^_^

(Didn't know if that needed spoiler tags or not, but hey, better to be safe than sorry.)


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

My theory is that Akito and Shigure are playing chess with the same pieces and different aims
