Fruits Basket Another by Natsuki Takaya

 


Time for a Book Review! This time, it is "Fruits Basket another" by Natsuki Takaya, an adorable sequel featuring the kids of the original Fruits Basket cast. Ever wonder what happened to Kyo, Yuki, Akito, and the gang? This sequel hints at what has happened since the original series ended through the perspectives of their children. You can usually tell who each kid belongs to based on their personalities and what they think about their parents. Emotions run wild in the series, as we go from despair, hope, concern, love, etc. as the characters learn how to stand on their own as they come of age and take a few more steps towards adulthood.

As a teacher, I am a full supporter of using comics for teaching, and even in this three volume series, there are lots of lessons to be learned such as actions have consequences and you can't judge a person based on who their parents are, how rich they are, or what they look like. The stories may be relatable to students in high school as they navigate their lives and the characters are of a similar age.

As a cosplayer, there are a variety of new characters of the same beautiful art style to choose from. If you remember the original cast, these characters are just as pretty and reflective of Natsuki Takaya's style. Lots of fun personalities to play around with for those who love to roleplay or LARP.

If you liked the original Fruits Basket series, definitely consider piking up this adorable sequel.

Forbidden Griffin by Zoe Chant

I received "Forbidden Griffin" by Zoe Chant as an ARC.  "Forbidden Griffin" is a shifter romance between two exiled griffins.  While trying to avoid too many spoilers, Cela is exiled from Griffin Island because her babies were not born griffins.  A nice enforcer suggests she find Tyr to help her out.  Needless to say, Cela and Tyr get a lot more than they bargained for when they meet and Tyr helps Cela get used to living in a human world, as Cela had never been off the island.  They'd make a nice family... if only they could touch.  The story follows Tyr and Cela's journey to break their curse and become a family along the way.  It's a sweet story of new beginnings and second chances, as well as new and blended families.  Though this is the 8th book in Chant's Bodyguard Shifters series, it is easily read as a standalone, though there are a few references to things that happened in prior books.  I will definitely be going back to read the othe...

Fireborne by Rosaria Munda

Hey all, it's been a while since I posted a review but I couldn't help but share this story. Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/Fireborne-AURELIAN-CYCLE-Book-1-ebook/dp/B07MYGW4K3/ Without spoiling too much of the story, I had the pleasure of reading and advanced reading copy (ARC) of Fireborne by Rosaria Munda which had me hooked from page one, both as an avid reader of fantasy and romance and as a teacher. I highly recommend the book if you enjoyed reading Seraphina by Rachel Hartman or Eragon by Christopher Paolini. As someone who appreciates character growth in the story, it was a pleasure to watch two unlikely friends, Annie and Lee, work through their past, their goals for the future, people's expectations, and the war that threatens to destroy their worlds all while dealing with the emotional upheaval of being a teen without parents and training to become the leader of the dragon riders, aka Firstrider and the Fleet Commander. Lee, a dragonlord's son...

Words of Caution: Why I No Longer Endorse the Group Cosplay Reviews

Hey everyone from Cosplay Reviewers, Cosplay Deals by Cosplay Reviewers, Cosplay Super Influencers & Cosplay Sponsored Alliance, both current and prior members, and any of the associated groups and pages - If you haven't noticed, myself along with most of the other Admins are no longer in any of the groups. The state of the group has not been good for a while and we attempted to fix it. The group has become more and more unprofessional and the admins have spent a lot of time behind the scenes cleaning up various situations created by what we believe to be Lorna’s unprofessional behavior. We were accused of not helping out the group when most of our efforts were ignored. We were lied to on various occasions and each admin would be told different things. Many of us had considered quitting the group at one point or another but we stayed because we care about the group and wanted to help it succeed and flourish as there really isn’t another one like it. The group was like a...
