Summary: from Good Reads
Finally - summer has arrived! While Tohru struggles through bipolar days of hope and anxiety, what will happen when Yuki comes face-to-face with the new member of the student council? Meanwhile, who is that Uo-chan's hanging out with? Is she c-r-a-z-y in love? In a bonus feature, Hana-chan's past is finally disclosed!

Feelings:
Summer has arrived but they still have school work to do and we have a flash back to middle school with Hana-chan. I thought this volume built the characters and helped the reader see the changes in the main characters. There was a little less yelling from Kyo. We are also getting to know Shishou-san, the man who raised Kyo, better and see why Kyo lived with him and not with the Sohmas.

I'm ready for somethign to happen with Tohru's love life. Does she like Yuki or Kyo or are they just friends? It is obvious that they both like her but we don't know if she feels the same way towards one of them or not. It would be nice to know if she did. We do see Uo-chan meet someone and feel a connection with them, and from a later scene the reader assumes that this is a Sohma.

I have to admit that in the middle of volume 8 I got a bit bored and put it down for a while but this volume has me wanting to read the next. To bad I have to wait until I go to the library next.
