I finished volume 2 and it's less light-hearted than the first one because now we are introduced to Akito's threat and we get all of Hatori's backstory.

Also the early 2000 fashion is great. Manga!Kyo is lowkey judging 2019!Kyo and his Adidas brand (although to be fair to 2019!Kyo, he finally is matching with his manga counterpart).

The most fabulous outfit goes to Momiji's first entrance though. Look at him:

I can't believe I forgot the joke that Yuki is terrible at waking up and that Kyo tried to fight him while he was half asleep and lost because Yuki actually hold back when he is fully awake.

The hat story start and I'm still bitter that the hat wasn't red. Also the boy in the hat is way less obvious than in the anime:

[Narrator Tohru: but every time, he was waiting for me]

Some fun facts from Takaya: she didn't like final fantasy 7 (apparently it was too "particular/strange") but she loved and finished final fantasy 8 (apparently she cried when she finished it). Hatori is easy to draw and she sees him as a set with Shigure (which she notes that Hatori wouldn't be very happy that she thinks that).

One fun fact about the french translation in particular: Kyon-Kyon is translated as Koko and now I can never unsee it. From now on, I'm calling Kyo, koko.This is most likely going to change in the future because the translation decided to completely change direction at some point, as in add Japanese suffixes when they are not there in the first few volumes and few other things.

FRUITS BASKET EPISODE 3 REVIEW

This episode came at the perfect time for me. Such great lessons on how to handle jealousy and one of the best episodes so far. So let’s review it scene by scene.

I was really looking forward to this scene! The cats that cling to Kyo while he looks like he wants to punch a wall..HAHA. Whereas he hates it, I would LOVE for random cats to come to me all the time. Why can’t I have this power???

This scene doesn’t show up until the culture festival episode from the original anime, but I liked the way they combined both episodes. It worked really well since we got both sides to Yuki and Kyo’s jealous feelings toward each other in one episode.

THEY KEPT HIS CAT EARS!!! I was worried Kyo’s cat ears while he’s in his human form wouldn’t be added to his character since they weren’t in the first two episodes, but then they made an appearance! I think it’s so adorable when those ears come up when he’s flustered, nervous, angry, or scared. :))

I’m always appalled by what the adults told the zodiacs when they were kids. Why would you say something like this to a child? That’s traumatizing. No wonder Kyo feels so inferior to Yuki. I want to slap all these adults.

To be honest, before this remake, I’d never been a huge fan of Yuki. I used to think he was bland. But this time around, I’m starting to understand him more. Maybe that’s just because I’ve grown up more compared to when I first watched the original. The idea finally came to me that he’s boring and fake on purpose. That was the whole point and my tiny brain couldn’t comprehend it uggggggggh. Now I understand him more and I relate to his anxieties that he has when it comes to connecting with people. It all comes back to how he was isolated as a child with Akito. So I apologize, Yuki. I still like Kyo more, but at least I understand you now. Looking forward to seeing his growth again.

This part gave me sweet vibes. Kyo’s learning to hold his temper. It’ll just take a while. But he takes it back immediately. Tohru’s expression awwwww.

BUNNY BOY IS HERE!!! I’m so pleased with how they’re sticking to the manga because Tohru first meets Momiji at her work. And he speaks German! Because there’s so much controversy on his accent for the dub, I’ll give my opinion. I love it. Momiji did go to international schools so it can be assumed that includes Germany so to me, him having an accent makes sense. I’m sad that the accent gets so much hate. But we all have our opinions, I guess. :(

I love his character design with those big green eyes and his cute German inspired outfits. Can’t wait to see him grown up!

Going back to how I think this episode came out at the time I needed it most. I love how the theme of jealousy was handled. I’ll admit, I get jealous easily and it’s a trait I hate that I have. I had a situation happen recently that caused a lot of jealousy I had towards someone. Seeing the feelings that Yuki and Kyo have towards each other and how Tohru helps them to understand that they’re great in their own way was very inspiring. It taught me to believe that I do have good qualities and that someday, with patience, I’ll get to the place that the person I’m envious of is. I learned to let go and be happy for them. This is why this is my second favorite episode of the series so far. I could really apply it. And I really took to heart the plum on the back metaphor. Although as silly as it was, it’s true because sometimes we can’t see our own great qualities until someone points them out for us.

Tohru’s wisdom has helped me so much. Thanks, girl. *cries*. And Yuki and Kyo do have their own great traits. I find it fascinating that they’re envious of each other yet they both don’t know it and they fight because of it. Really, if they just talked it over, they’d understand each other more and possibly get along better. Kyo wants to be part of the zodiac while Yuki wants out of it. Very interesting dynamic.

Tohru had not one, but two thoughts of wisdom in this episode that were inspiring. This part was a great food for thought. It’s very true that no one is born kind. We have to cultivate kindness over time. It’s something we have to learn and it comes easier for others. But I do think anyone can learn to be kind. :)

I love this quote “...kindness is our hearts growing inside us.” Ah, pure poetry.

We were fed with another great Kyoru moment during the plum on the back scene. Kyo is so freaking adorable when he gets flustered. He’s clearly not used to someone like Tohru being so nice to him. xD That blush!!! And then he tells her she has a plum on her back too. brb...crying.

Yuki force feeding a chive rice ball to Kyo lol. For some reason, they’re chives instead of leeks? Apparently they’re the same thing. But in the anime and I think in the manga, they were called leeks hmmm.

Naw naw naw. Can’t see this happening omg. I can’t unsee it.

So that’s it! Super great episode. It taught me a lesson about envy and acceptance of oneself that means a lot to me. It really hit me hard.

Should I start rating the episodes? Okay, out of 5 stars

Ichihime: Shoujo Manga

These are some manga I have read that somewhat reminded me of Ichigo and Orihime as a couple. I’m perfectly aware how unique each relationship is, and they cannot compare to each other. But these are just my recommendations or ideas.

Please add any that remind you of ichihime, if you would like to :D

↳

CHOEGANG GEUNYEO

Sae-mi is a cute girl with a small body, but she also hides a very big secret. She’s the strongest girl on Earth!! Can she keep her identity a secret and confess to her crush, Yeong-min!

Imagine, Orihime being the one with ultra superpowers that she has trouble controlling, especially in front of her crush Kurosaki Ichigo. In a romantic comedy where she is bashful and aiming to be by the side of her oblivious friend.

Fruits Basket

Tohru Honda has been living in a tent since her mother dies in a car accident, but ends up living instead with Yuki Sohma, her school’s “prince”, along with his relatives Shigure and Kyo. But Tohru soon discovers that the Sohma clan has a secret of it’s own: certain members of the family are possessed by the animals of the Zodiac, so whenever they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex they turn into that animal! Tohru promises to keep their secret and vows to somehow break the curse, and she may just end up healing the Sohma clan members in other ways as well…

Sorry I can’t unsee Orihime’s positive smile and attitude even after everything she faces, and falling in love with the odd-haired delinquent that has a sad and tragic past. Especially that scene where Kyo turns into the monster he struggled to conceal, reminds me of a certain scene from Bleach.

INOCHI MIJIKASHI, KOI SEYO FURYOU SHOUNEN!

If you don’t date her, you’ll die! That was the prediction made to that delinquent boy. But…what will be his destiny?

A misunderstood delinquent with wild hair and a beautiful and happy girl? Both falling in love?? Sorry, couldn’t help but think of Ichigo and Orihime in a odd AU.

KISS MADE NO KYORI (YOSHINAGA YUU)

Kaji, Yuzuha’s unrequited love, is a good friend of her twin brother Suguru. He’s the same age but goes to a different school and since elementary school, he’s been going in and out of Yuzuha’s home. She’s been in love with him all this time, but can’t make a serious face when around Kaji. Now they both change to the same high school and there’s the chance to decrease the distance between Kaji and her…?!

In an alternative universe where Orihime has a family and twin brother, she realizes that she might have feelings for her brother’s best friend. In a heap of misunderstandings, they reminded me of a younger them. Especially Kaji, he reminds me so much my cool Ichigo.

Anitomo

Nanase, is a polite, a little old-fashioned girl,who just got a boyfriend for the very first time. He is a pure and kind guy, and is a good friend of her brother. However, both of them have no idea what they should do next… For Nanase, holding hand would be too embarrassing, and ‘dating’ is something …

If Ichigo was a blushing cute guy I would say this fits him, but it doesn't at all. So why am I recommending this? Simple, because Nanase reminds me of Orihime, and when they are both together I can’t stop to think that their interactions remind me of ichihime.

Boku ni Hna no Melancholy Kiss

When Hana was a child visiting her mother’s grave, she got to know a young boy named Yuzuru. He was Hana’s first love. When she heard that he ended up moving away, she thought that it wouldn’t be possible to see him anymore, but…?

This is just my chance to share this manga I love, when I read this I thought of an AU where Ichigo and Orihime knew each other as children, and how they were separated. It was a nice idea in my head, a lot of angst and chasing after the one you love sorta of feeling.
