They added Kureno to the OP. Nice! The student council seems like a mess, but I know there's more to them.

it was nice to have a Yuki focussed episode. we also got a glimpse into the school president club.
Each character in the club are kinda interesting, though most of them are annoying.

I'm loving Yuki's character development.

To be honest, I thought Kimi Toudou was Tohru for a second, they kind of look similar.

I honestly thought Kimi was a Yuki-Club member who changed her hair to Tohru's to get Yuki's attention at first. But more importantly, I'm glad that Yuki found someone like Machi. He's the perfect guy to pull him out of his shell a bit. Hell, it might even benefit Yuki's relationship with Kyo!

Cute ep, still always prefer Kyo's development over Yuki's because I feel like Yuki's self-hate and victim-complex can be very easily solved if he would just open his mouth like Manabe did and be honest then move on but, oh well, I guess it'll take him to the end to do something as simple as that. The student council team is annoying and full of tropes, so I hope they all have some interesting subversive tactics to be more well-rounded but overall I liked it!

Not really my favorite episode. I am a not-people person and I couldn't relate to Yuki's issue for not able to socialize well. It's too shallow of a reason for him to make a big deal out of it.

If he wants to interact with people and make friends, he just have to do so. It would've been easy for him because he's already popular enough.😣

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

The issue here is that Yuki is popular for his looks and people tend to not care about the person inside and only the outside because he is just so good looking. They don't try to understand him, they're just a bunch of idiotic fangirls/boys. It's infuriating.

I really like watching these dumbasses from the student council. It forces Yun-Yun to deal with his own insecurities.

It's refreshing to see the high school again after a while.

Dayum that was a good life lesson at the end

You maybe feel jealous to other people around you but dont forget we are all unique in our own sometimes you have that other people dont have or lacks.

enjoyable ep
Kimi looks like a thot version on Tohru xD
Actually she's really pretty though i prefer the not cutesy side of her.

This was a pretty good episode. 2nd episode to feature Yuki's fan club which is cool. I can't wait to see more of it, especially how Yuki will continue to gradually develop a good relationship with the club and with Machi :3

Also, I'm kind of expecting a new OP in the next episode but I may be wrong.

Eh, an OK episode. I've never been a fan of the student council (I just find them really boring and I will forever have a beef with Kakeru for doing *that* to Tohru even if he apologized in the end), so I just want to go back to Tohru soon.


This tbh. I'm not a fan of these student council episodes.

so the basic plot of this episode is to introduce four emotionally unstable people into the student council. The worst being the vice president, he would act like a shitbag towards Yuki, so Yuu-Yuu can emotionally mature.

whoa, this episode has so much angst and toxic to watch.. I had to "heal" myself by watching episodes of Kanon and RE:Lights immediately after watching this.

need more Tohru x Kyo screentime and please not much more student council. This is easily the worst episode I've watched in the anime.

That had to be the most boring episode so far I don’t see what everyone else likes about it. Kimi and Kakeru were cringe worthy and both got on my nerves the whole episode. If it would’ve been about Machi and Yuki by themselves it would’ve been way better

I have to say, this one was a bit heavy handed, even for Fruits Basket.

At least it seemed somewhat self aware of that fact and balanced it with some humorous stylizing.

Another episode about Yuki’s inner conflicts. His tendency to compare himself to others, and to feel lacking. Was a very endearing episode.

was having a lot of fun with this episode, kakeru is always so much fun to watch

till he kicked the plants lol. just WHY pls channel your anger & impulses somehow elsewhere lol yuki was helping the gardening club out why did he have to destroy them plants it's trivial but that rubbed me the wrong way

i liked how yuki mentioned that kakeru reminds him of not just ayame, but kyo as well. like what tohru mused, it's their way of acknowledging each other x)







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

Great comedic episode but I can't watch it properly...

Kimi voice was scratching back of my head. I know that I head it somewhere before but where? So I'm checking who is the seyou, ah ok it's Rumi Okub-san, so I'm checking her list of characters:

- Fate/Apo Astolfo...........

I just can't focus on her while hearing best trap speaking :(

another yuki centric episode while taking a peak on the student council's work. not a fan of the student council, most of them pretty annoying but its probably for comedy and it just didnt work for me so eh. kimi girl looks like she's copying tohru, from giggling to everything, speaking in a kind manner, hair, fav color, etc. vice president is still annoying but he's the most tolerable one out of the three (kimi, 1st year guy, and vice pres) also does he have a crush on honda? when he said "you responded just like her" who does "her" refer to? and again i rly liked how they fought. raising voices against each other while uttering their feelings

I really like the focus on the student council whenever it happens, the series could have a spin-off solely for them and I would still dig it.

Definitely an interesting episode, but I look forward to more focus on Machi.

Some interesting new characters. They'll surely be shaking things up from the norm.

But with the school term starting up again I could've sworn we saw Tohru making plans to hang out with her friends over the summer. Did she just bail on them to hang with the Somas all summer? lol

Kimi is pretty, yes, but I hate her personality. So yeah, I hate her already lol

Irony seems to be always on Kakeru's side

I quite liked Naohito at first I was suspicious but he turned out to be a good person and I hope to see more student student scenes Especially Naohito and Yuki, so I am quite interested in Machi, one of the student council members and at the end of the scene as usual it makes heartwarming, damn it feels more like a masterpiece

I like very much how Yuki thinks! I too believe that the evil is not outside but rather inside us. If people only realized this, it would make the world better.

The vice president impressed me not only for his warm positive nature, but especially for his lack of ego. When he became angry at Yuki, he genuinely expressed his real feelings disregarding that it might have affected his image. Moreover, it was so easy for him to apologize. I would really love to have this super power!

Watching Yuki's reaction to the student council's antics is amusing imo. Kakeru really does seem like a mix of Ayame and Kyo.

Yuki has to work on crushing the villain inside saying he's not good enough.

I disagree with most comments here. I actually found this episode to be funny tbh. I liked the personalities of the student council members being a hot mess. Kimi actually seems fun and entertaining. I feel like we should have more female characters like her, or more female characters that are bad and/or manipulative, without them being Saturday Morning Cartoons bad.

Seriously, not every female character has to be good. We need more toxic and fun ones. Like... If she gets on your nerves, then y'all would not survive Sae's manipulative ass from Peach Girl.
