Akito is... *tries to keep mouth shut* umm, he's not an animal... but he's still... umm.. *puts hands on mouth and run away* You're going to wait a long time for that to come out though!

*Gags Ducky and throws her in the closet* I'm sorry my dear, but that's what you get for trying to pry spoiler out of other members. ;).

But, seriously, let's keep this thread spoiler-free. I will be seriously put out if I find something out before I read it.

No problem. I've just gone to extreme measures to find anything out that I don't read. I want to be surprised.

If you'll refer to my siggy-- Volume four isn't officially released until the 10th of August, but alot of book stores get it on the shelf several weeks early. Atleast, I know some of mine do.

Okay-- so I'm double posting. Beat me if you must. ;)

But I had to ask-- has anyone read the 4th volume for Furuba? I DID!! AND-- AHHH!!!

I think I'll just start a seperate conversation thread so I won't spoiler anyone's day.

I heard from my contact at Suncoast that her contact at Waldenbooks contacted her with the information that the 4th Furuba is at Waldenbooks, and they got it yesterday. I also heard from her that it was she who took the last Wolfwood chibi keychain. Grrrrrrr.

I'm reading the Furuba series ^^ I really like it. The thing I like that most about it is that you can learn a lot from Tohru and her reactions on how to be a better person, but the thing that counteracts it is Kyo's bad mouth (I wish he wouldn't cuss so much). I should go check for volume 4.......:)

ahhhhhh!!!!! thanks to Ducky and Lynx and little Jon-kun, I got reading furuba the day after this past birthday... B. Dalton won't get #4 until 1/2 way through August. our dear friend there must get it for us. The artwork is veddy enjoyable and there's a real storyline. yay! The flashbacks to when the characters were kids frustrates me a little because I know they won't be explained until several installments later. :( I'm beginning to like the characters of Shigure and Hatori more as they develop. ...I thought Ducky was supposed to be locked in a closet for begging spoilers!?

I escaped the closet since the spoilers were pm'd to me... very good spoilers they were too! Yeah I asked Ken and he said not until august 28th... I might have to get it online before that... amazon must have it... hehehe calling my brother little jon-kun is fun!

As no one else has posted it, allow me to paraphrase Dom (of Megatokyo)'s friend:
[spoiler]
FB is like DBZ, only instead of high powered villains, they battle angst.

I'd pay good money to read a decent FB DBZ crossover fanfic.[/spoiler]

Allow me to quote myself:
me wrote:No, it's not.

Angst is when teenagers over-dramatize the very day strains of existance and make them perfectly earth stopping. The characters in Fruits Basket may often display irritation (They don't really even do it often), but when they do there's just cause. Furthermore, the story really centers around Tohru who is always thinking outside herself rather than on herself. That is the epitome of anti-angst.

OK. It's just I find the idea hilarious. OH! I got volume four a few days ago.

*now back awake*
WHAT?! No no no no no, they arents alike and FB is not all agnsty! Arrg, o well. . . Its only the best manga around, sweet deep, and almost real life like story (minus the animals part).

MUST...GET...FOURTH...VOLUME..

I am SO going to the mall tomorrow (or today, whatever...hehe...) and checking at Waldenbooks, they tend to get most manga on time, NOT like stinky Books A Million and Barnes & Noble which don't even have the 6th volume of Hot Gimmick, though it was supposed to come out on August 4th!!! Anywho, I HOPE that Waldenbooks has it, or I'm going to cry and beg...MUST...READ...FRUITS...BASKET...

My friend Autumn has all 17 FB manga. I have currently read through volume 1. I really want to keep going, but unfortunately will have to wait until after finals/papers...
So far, it's REALLY good...and hilarious! Especially Shigure...
