Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances, Vol. 15 
asked by bigben on November 8, 2006 2:53 AM
Soichiro's meetings with his birth mother continue to be a secret from everyone...especially Yukino. When his adoptive parents find out, they want him to be open with them, but how can he tell anyone about his memories of an abusive childhood? Instead, Soichiro turns to his best friend Asaba for support, while continuing to shut Yukino out. Will Soichiro finally tell Yukino the truth? Or will the consuming pain from his past destroy them both?

Don't let the happy-go-lucky cover fool you: volume 16 is the darkest chapter yet in the lives of Yukino and Arima.
Arima remembers more about his mysterious mother and pushes everyone away. I'm unsure whether all Kare Kano fans will like the tone of this volume, which takes a pretty radical departure from most of the series so far. Some of it seems like Masami Tusda introducing new events just to create some drama and keep the story going.
Kare Kano's lesser moments are still better than 99% of other shoujo manga, however. Volume 16 focused on Yukino and Arima, with Asaba making some appearances, as well, but Vol 17 will apparently bring back the rest of the cast.

Kare Kano keeps on surprising me. The Arima storyline is crazy as more is revealed of his past. This probably is Masami Tsuda's darkest manga since it takes a bolder, more serious turn. Miyazawa's mettle is tested with a challenge that she may be unable to overcome. Even Asapin is key in this volume. I really like how the characters have changed since volume 1. This one is a non-stop read and Vol 16 seems so far away...patience is key!!
