Fruits Basket Another, tome 3

The story feels both playful and emotional, which keeps me guessing about where it’s headed. I wonder what the author wanted to emphasize with this balance.

The interactions seem more nuanced, like there's more at stake beneath the surface. I'm curious if this was planned or evolved naturally.

The illustrations have such a delicate, expressive quality that really brings the fantasy elements to life. I wonder if the artist's style was a conscious choice to enhance the tone.
