Here in the volume of Fruits Basket you go deeper into Kyo's life...being in the year of the cat Kyo has a "true form". Tohru of course sees him as he really is but will she accept him? Only you can find out but reading this volume!
Yuki is also in the volume but his story is not as deep (but gets deeper as the series goes on) and he has worried Tohru. The "boar" is back and is obsessing with Kyo of course. This volume is so much fun to read, I CANNOT help but read it over and over like 20 times in a row!

I love Fruits Basket and I have read volumes 1-13 and this is one of my favorite volumes. If you are a Kyo fan this volume is definatly worth buying. In this volume you find out about Kyo's 'true form'. When I first read this book it definatly pulled on my heart strings. In this volume you can relate to Kyo's feelings. And if you don't know much about kyo this book will help you understand where he's coming from

I think that book 6 is, by far, the best. I've read it so many times that there are actually pages falling out of it!!
The major thing i enjoyed IMMENSELY was the "Kyo" chapters, involoving reuniting with his old master, whom he trained for four months with, and the realization as he was forced to reveal his "true form", about which Kagura accidentally let slip back when Tohru first met her in volume 1.
I do admit that I have an unhealthy obsession with Kyo, that is true. The pages when Tohru is with Kyo in the forest...
I love this book, although when 11 came out, I kinda came to love that even more...particularly because of a certain confession...and tears in a certain someone's eyes...and the ANGST!
But I was poking around a manga shop and found volume 19!! yes, it was in japanese, which had just been published, and the drawings look slightly different, but I merely took that as they're all changing.
Stiil, after using up my homework-free Saturday by reading the whole of my Furuba collection (Vulmes 1 thru 12), Number six is still number one...Why? well, I'm a sucker for angst....
