In this volume, Yuki is further annoyed by the members of the student council, who seem determined to leave him with all the work. But everyone says that it is good for Yuki to break out of his shell and interact with normal people, so he endures. Poor Yuki!

Tohru makes a resolution to find out how to break the curse, and seeks advice from Kyo's Shishou, but doesn't get many specific answers. I'm so proud of Tohru for taking this on, even though she knows it will make Akito attack her.

Kagura and Kyo go on a date, and resolve their true relationship. Kagura admits how she truly feels about Kyo beyond all her suffocating love, and I think she finally accepts that Kyo will never be in love with her because he's in love with Tohru. It's so touching and sweet, and I'm so impressed with Kagura for finally being honest about her feelings. And I'm impressed with Kyo for responding with kindness and calm.

Yuki reaches out to his parents to come to a parent-teacher conference at school, but is disappointed in his mother. That poor guy has so much crap to deal with. I felt bad for him.

Haru tries to reach out to Rin again, but she continues to push him away. They had a very touching and beautiful scene! There's something very mysterious going on between Rin and Shigure, and I don't like it. That Shigure has something up his sleeve and he's manipulating everyone.

Tohru's grandfather hurt his back, and when Tohru goes to visit him, she is overwhelmed by the fear that he will die, despite the fact that his injury is not severe. Poor Tohru, she has already lost so many people, and she can't stand any more loss!
