Fruits Basket Volume 8!

Postby Mangafanatic » Sat Apr 02, 2005 2:21 pm

I just bought this yesterday so-- naturally, I decided to start it a wonderful thread!

I thought this volume was wonderful and that it began some interesting plots. The most out standing revelations, comments, instances, ect:

Well, I'm absolutely thrilled to find out
[spoiler]THAT HARU ISN'T GAY! Yay!

I must say that I felt so sorry for him in this volume, though. I hope he gets back together with Rin, 'cause, when he's sad, he makes me want to cry.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I almost suffocated laughing during the haunted house chapter. That was absolutely comedic gold.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I look forward to finding finally finding out just what EXACTLY IS GOING ON IN YUKI'S HEAD! Arg, I love him, I just wish he would SAY what he's thinking sometimes.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] I wish we the mysterious man from the last pages of volume 7 had been in it. I want to know who is he. (Just kidding. If you tell me, I'll hurt you Kae-kun!! :lol: )[/spoiler]

Hmm, that's all I can think of for now. Commence conversation.


And please remember everyone, if you know something about future volumes, please don't put it in this thread. When we have spoilerize information from the volume that is the topic of the thread and spoilerized information from future volumes, it's simply too easy to find things you don't want to know. Thanks for your consideration!
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.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm guilty of this, I can't remember...but I will keep it in mind for future posts in threads of this nature. As always, though, if anyone wants info from the later chapters of Furuba, PM me and I'll be happy to give it. ^^

No, I rarely ever have this problem with older members. It's generally newer members who don't know any better. And I'm not thinking of anyone in particular. I'm just making a general statement about past threads.

It's sorta funny, because the reason I got this manga earily is because the assisant manager of the store knows me because I'm in there all the time. After me coming into the book store several times after obviously not finding what I was looking for, she just said "When we get Fruits Basket in, I'll just pull it for you." So I went in Friday and she got it out of the back room for me before it was even on the shelf.

Even though i bought it i won't read it for a few days.. I have an art trip to go to on the 6th, so i will probably read it then.. i usually take my time when i read mangas.. espescially the ones that i don't get every month like Furuba....

o.o gah! osaka i must find a way to get connections like yours!

buut now that doesn't matter cause I have it~ *hug* I love it so much I may have to read it again tonight, but tommorow it will begin its pilgrimage through the anime lovers at my school~ XD

My favorite parts of the book were probably Yuki's interaction with Aaya. XD; those were great! This book also seemed to be leaning a bit more towards Kyo and Tohru, which is nice and all, but I do really wish there was more Yuki/Tohru *puts on hardhat to protect myself* But from what I've heard it seems the series begins to lean more towards Kyo/Tohru... *sigh* oh well, either way is good.

I liked seeing Rin in the manga for the first time too! I've seen pictures of her on the net, but not in the manga so, whoopa she is here~

got it on saturday, the first day i was able to get away from campus and go to Borders. enjoyed it immensely. especially the haunted house part... so funny *snort* especially Haru's 'story' and how Tohru was so serious about it... lol

(and to use my powers as Captain Obvious...) [spoiler] does Akito hospitalize everyone who comes to him to inform him of their love for someone else or who is the subject of said love? ...i'm sensing a pattern. Hatori... Kisa... Rin(?)[/spoiler]

[spoiler]so evil, and he's supposed to appear more in the next few volumes, including the revealing of his 'true identity.'[/spoiler]

i was lacking amusement the other day and went over to Tokyo Pop's site and read the volume summaries that were available for the next few volumes... can't wait, especially for them to start coming out once a month...

*edit: oops, :sweat: sorry. added spoilers

Let's all be sure to use spoiler tags for anything that someone who hasn't read this volume might not know, k?

About the Akito hurting people
[spoiler] I think he pretty much beats everybody black and blue who attempts to have a life of their own. You evil idiot![/spoiler]

[spoiler=the horror house and Haru] I can't tell you how hard I laughed during Haru's story. Especially when he just snaps the head off of that other prop and puts the two heads together. I was dying I tell you! Dying!

Haru's so brave. Even when he's upset about Rin, he remains concerned about everybody else. He's such a darling! *huggles Haru*[/spoiler]

Well, I'll explain it without spoilerizing future volumes.

[spoiler]Akito doesn't like women in general. There's a reason for this, but I can't say for a few volumes, and I won't have to once you read it. ]

My favorite part? Pretty much same as Osaka's. Not just because of the humor, but because Tohru ad Momiji take it so seriously. It's hilarious. . . :lol:

I finally got it! YES! I think my favorite characters are Haru and Aya. I like Haru's white personality and general demeanor (not to mention that is my favorite style of dress), and Aya just makes me about die laughing everytime! He is so over the top (which is ironic because he's the kind of person who generally drives me crazy IRL)! I wonder though: Since both Kyo and Yuki rely so much on Tohru emotionally, how is not going to get ugly when it comes time to pick one unless one of the two boys decide to bow out? I'm also interested in what Akito's deal is and how he can manipulate the zodiac members through the effect of the curse.

I am going to cry when that day comes. I love them both too much to see either of them hurt.

Well, if you'll excuse me now, I have to finish work on my Tohru cloning machine.

woot!! Me too! Although from what I've heard about the recent manga it seems to be leading in a kyo/tohru direction. But who really knows. Tohru probably won't decide because she doesn't want to hurt anyone (although that would really just hurt both of them at the same time)
