I loved this manga but there were a lot of things that bugged me. first was kagura, i cant stand kagura forcing herself on kyou all the time and then hitting everyone, even hitting Tohru. i hate how they all dance like monkeys for that brat akito. i hate how they turned Akito from an interesting mentally disturbed guy into a weak pathetic woman who clings to the men around her. i still dont get why she went from liking Shigeru (Sp? sorry i dont remember the exact spelling of the character names) to sleeping with Kageru (sp?) And Shigeru, was worse i know he was hurt by her betraying him but why would he sleep with the mother of the girl he likes? yuck. the manga started off as a funny manga with serious undertones, into a soap-opera. i swear almost every character has parents that hated them, they ALL had tormented pasts. its like i get it, already! how many times must the author show us parents not loving their kids, and then here comes Tohru to heal everyone! Sheesh! i hated how they turn akito from a cruel psycho guy to a kind forgiving person, it happened way too quickly, this person psychologically damaged and destroyed lives and in an instant turned into a loving person. wtf? Also, despite the author saying that Kyo was the man she chose for Tohru from the beginning it seemed to me that the author was leaning towards Yuuki in the beginning with how Tohru had a crush on him and the tension between them and all of the sudden it disappeared. also, yuuki was so dramatically changed that i hated it, he was the cool person in the beginning with a sweet character, but after awhile he came off as a sissy smiling like anb idiot all the time and just acting strangely. though i still did like him but the change was weird and so was how he ended up with some random girl. we hear the back story of EVERYONE even the unimportant characters. Also the curse was randomly cured for no apparent reason, if it was so simply to fix why wasnt it broken before. Also i was seriously bothered by the death of tohrus mom and how Kyo didnt try to help her because he would "transform" couldnt he just grab her arm and pull her back? he wouldnt have transformed, or yell out a warning? Tohru was more worried about Kyo feelings than the death of her mother. despite everything there was great stuff about both kyo and yuuki, and i liked them both throughout the story even though there was stuff i didnt like. they are both sweet guys and i did love them both. i did like the friendship aspect how everyone learned to like eachother and bonded together. that was unique and how not everyone fell inlove with tohru was refreshing.
