Volume 1 ★★★★★
Volume 2 ★★★★★

I feel like I should've read this in a day like I did with Vol 1, but I kind of misplaced it for a few weeks...

Anyways, this was absolutely precious, just like the rest of this series. In this issue, we get to meet a few new faces - Momiji, Hatsuharu, and Ayame, most notably - and learn some fantastic back story on a few Sohma members (specifically the heartbreaking tale of Momiji's mother, and the horrible abuse that Yuki has undergone at the hands of Akito). We start to see some interesting feelings coming from both Yuki and Kyo, as well as commemorating a tearful first anniversary of Tohru's loss of her mother.

I love this series so damn much.
