Summary: from Good Reads
Delving into the recesses of Kyo's past, we find the Sohma trio returning home on a rainy day. There, a mysterious man who has known Kyo for a long time meets them. Trust, loyalty and the bonds of family and friendship are tested, as Tohru must help Kyo deal with the "monsters" that he's been trying to avoid.

Feelings:
This volume advances the story more than the last volume did. I was very grateful for that because I was actually starting to feel a little bore just meeting the new members of the Sohma family.

Kyo has to deal with trying to accept part of himself he would rather not have to acknowledge exists. Yuki tries to connect with his brother and to stretch himself to be a better person. This does not mean that Kyo and Yuki have stopped fighting. However, Kyo does seem to be making an effort on that front. A rather funny one. Tohru is there to help the characters as always and support them when they need it.

I am still waiting to see some growth from her but in many ways she isn't the one that needs to grow or change so it is alright for her to stay relatively unchanged.

I still recommend the series and think it is a fun read.
