Summary: from Good Reads
As rumors swirl about Machi trying to kill her little brother, Kakeru figures that the only person who can get the truth out of her is Yuki. But when the two of them visit her, they learn a shocking secret. Later, Motoko wants to tell Yuki her feelings before she graduates and leaves the school--and him--forever. But will their parting be such sweet sorrow?  

Feelings:
This book focus on a character that is not part of the Sohma family, Machi, which is new for the series. I thought it was a nice change of pace. It really makes Yuki look more carrying something that he thinks that he isn't.

Rin, who for the most part has been a peripheral character in past volumes, becomes more of a central character in this volume. We also see Turo and Kyo's relationship begin to change. The real question is will Turo pick Kyo or Yuki. She seems to have feelings for both of them and they both seem to like her. From the beginning there has been foreshadowing of her liking the cat. At this point I think it is foreshadowing.

I thought this volume was better than the last one by a margin. However, I think I'm ready for something to happen and it seems like things are moving very slowly. I'm sticking with the series though and still enjoying it.
