This week, another mysterious Sohma family member appears on the scene, full of sass. We meet Hiro Sohma, a wee but sarcastic lad. But as we’ve learned, every Sohma comes with baggage—the question for Hiro is not why but what is the root cause? Hiro may be a brat on the outside, but he’s got a heart of gold on the inside, and is dealing with consequences of his feelings that are out of his control…

Get ready for some Takaya-style catharsis this week. We learn about the tumultuous relationship Momiji has with his family, and a year has passed since Tohru’s mother passed away, so she visits her grave with Hana, Uo, Yuki and Kyo.

In the aftermath of chapter 34, Haru and Tohru spot Yuki acting down in the dumps, and Haru gives him a talkin’ to to get to the bottom of it. Yuki tries to learn more about his big brother Ayame. He and Tohru visit his shop. Chaos ensues.

In episode 13 of Fruits Basket 2019, we meet the bombastic Ayame Sohma—snake of the zodiac—and learn about his special relationship with Yuki, Shigure and Hatori.

It’s time to discuss chapters 31–34! In this episode, we discuss the fallout of what happened when Kazuma forced Kyo to reveal another, deeper secret about himself and zodiac to Tohru, how the characters reacted, and what may lie ahead.

Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, Uo, and Hana start their second year of high school! Hatsuharu and Momiji Sohma begin their first year at the same high school, but get off to a bumpy start with a confrontation with the head of the School Defence Force and his cronies.

Tohru also has a confrontation with Akito, the head of the Sohma family, who makes a surprise appearance at their school—one that reveals the dark connection between him and Yuki.

Kyo’s martial arts teacher and foster father Kazuma Sohma returns from his journey and pays a visit to Shigure’s house. He forces Kyo to reveal yet another dark secret about the zodiac to Tohru—will she accept this side of him or not? Will Kyo forgive Kazuma for revealing this deeply personal secret against his will? This week we summarize chapters 31–34; next time we discuss.
