We must bid farewell to Fruits Basket for the year, but we're given plenty of revelations to chew on in the meantime. We also talk about the unfortunate need for pronouns in English, Japanese flower language, and which other shoujo series you should consume in the next six or so months!

It’s New Year’s already?? If you say so. This is a weird episode, with two very different halves, but we have our protagonist Yuki to guide us through it! (Tohru who?) Unfortunately, it also features the worst translation goof so far.

Trigger warnings: emotional/physical abuse of children, discussions surrounding suicide

In which Yuki finishes his sentence, and Sarah has a LOT to say about it.

At last we reach the "comfort" part of Rin's hurt/comfort story! For now, anyway. Also, in case you were wondering, Kimi is still our favorite.
