Another good entry to the series, introducing a new character Kisa. I enjoyed her backstory, as well as the rest of the story in this volume.

Another volume done and I'm even more in love with this series. I need to start checking them out 3 or 4 at a time.

These books never really have much in the way of a solid story line but they often outline and discuss many morals and life lessons.

Llega el verano y Shigure consigue que los chicos se vayan de paseo a la villa de la familia Sohma, con Hatori, donde ocurre un acontecimiento para acercar un poco a Kyo y Yuki, o al menos no tenerlos tan enojados consigo mismos y preocupando a Tohru. Este viaje, a su vez, también sirvió para despistar un poco a Hatori del casamiento de Kana) y este manga aún nos hace sufrir.

Conocemos a Kisa (tigre) que es víctima de bullying en la escuela y decidió llamarse al silencio. Esta pequeña es muy entrañable y genera un vínculo muy dulce con Tohru. A su vez, ahí se muestran similitudes con la vida de Yuki.

Mientras tanto, como historia extra, el club de fans de Yuki se hace presente, y se complotan contra Hana, la amiga de Tohru, pues creen que es una bruja que hechiza al joven, wtf(? Y ahora Tohru se enferma, y todos los zodíacos hacen de su parte mientras esta se enferma.

Pareciera que cuanto más avanza la historia, más sufrimiento nos demuestran las vidas de los protagonistas. Aunque, también van abriendo su corazón y “curándose” de cierta forma.

Just finished rereading this for the second time. Here are my thoughts I had while reading this volume:
- I forgot about Kisa!!! How did I forget about Kisa?!? She's such a cute character, from her zodiac form to her human appearance. And the way
Spoiler she follows Tohru around is ADORABLE!!!

- The subplot about Yuki's fan club at school kind of bores me. Although when
Spoiler Megumi correctly names each girl and freaks them out, I was practically laughing!
Such a great scene!
- Poor Tohru.
Spoiler She works so hard to do her best for everyone else that when it comes time to take care of herself, she doesn't!

Ah, what memories this manga is bringing back! I love it! Next up is volume 6!
