Product Description
The number one manga in America continues! The time for Yuki's parent-teacher conference has finally arrived, and Yuki must learn how to make his own decisions if he wants to have a say about his future. Later, Tohru sets off on a quest to find out if Kureno Sohma is the same human being Arisa has been in love with all this time. But along the way she will discover a tragic secret about Momiji's sister Momo
Reader ReviewsThis volume is a huge one for both of Tohru's favorite nii-sans as one big brother's dream comes true while the others' goes down in flames - at least for the time being. First up, in the wake of the wrap-up of the Kyo/Kagura storyline, is the climax of the Yuki/Ayame subplot. Most readers were probably expecting this to go down closer to the end of the series, but Aya is really a supporting character and the timing is just about right considering how much there still is to cover. Ayame himself admits that he bears his share of responsibility for Yuki's childhood situation deteriorating to the point it did and that he's lucky Yuki is on speaking terms with him. But he's so genuinely remorseful and trying the only way he knows how to make things up to Yuki that it's impossible not to root for him as he faces his moment of truth and squares off against their venomous mother to protect Yuki the way he should have years ago. Will Aya pull it off? Did anyone really think he was heading for a sad ending? Unlike Ayame, Momiji is completely guiltless regarding his situation. But sometimes innocence isn't enough and life isn't always fair. The selfless young man is asked to make yet another huge sacrifice for his immediate family when his little sister Momo, now old enough to walk short distances without adult supervision, begins to actively seek him out - and starts to get too close to the truth their father feels she isn't ready to handle yet. Perhaps the most seamless mixture of joy and angst so far.
