Fruits Basket vol. 18
by Natsuki Takaya
Genre: Fiction/Graphic Novel

I'm a little disturbed by the power dynamics in Furuba, though it's probably just my paranoid imagination--Kyo > Tohru and Yuki > Machi, in terms of the dominant person in the relationship. Tohru > Yuki, but that relationship fell through. (I used to ship Tohru/Yuki and I still think they are cuter together, but I don't disapprove of Tohru/Kyo either. Yuki/Machi is even starting to grow on me.)

In other news: good plot and character development. Very cute, as always. I adore Rin/Haru. Much love. And I pity Machi--her parents were so, ugh. And yet so very believable, as well.

Kind of odd to be shipping anyone, given that we already know who she's going to end up with. Are you interested in online sites to read the books, or do you prefer hard copies? (I'm not going to push you one way or the other - I understand both sides perfectly. xD)

Machi is cute, I love her/Yuki. I love Kisa's relationship with Haru; it's so fucking adorable. If she were older I'd be tempted to ship them...don't like Rin very much. Not entirely sure why. And Akito/Shigure is a fun one to watch because it's as much a fight as it is (not, currently) a relationship.

I could carry on for some time. And if you haven't read it all yet - it ends superbly, in my own opinion. ;3

I shipped Tohru/Yuki before the end pairing was revealed. Sticking to hard-copy reading for the time being, so no spoilers!

Kisa is adorable, but I find Kisa/Hiro a bit too cutesy for my taste. They're so young... I didn't like Rin much either, but the last few books have won me over because I just love her/Haru (not her by herself, particularly). On the Akito front, I favor Kureno--not a big fan of Shigure.
