New Release Books by Natsuki Takaya

After a lengthy journey across town, through soba shops and into Haa-kun''s car, the Three Musketeers have come full circle-well, almost. The last challenge that awaits the end of the trio''s lengthy pilgrimage and the finale of the anime is the sadistically long staircase from hell! Can they make it up the stairs?!

After fondly reminiscing on their whirlwind of a pilgrimage, the Three Musketeers stop by a familiar soba shop to take a break. But the antics of the wacky trio only escalate when a few of the other members of the zodiac drop in!

With secrets revealed and confrontations resolved, no obstacles remain in the budding romance between Shiki and Sawa-or do they? During the Sohma''s annual fall picnic, the hidden feelings of the mysterious, stoic heir to the Sohma family are unveiled...

The Three Musketeers are back again to celebrate the second season of the Fruits Basket anime! Kill the time between new episodes with the ridiculous antics of Shigure, Ayame, and Hatori! Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers Arc 2--Start!

Jealousy, rage, regret--the members of the Sohma family are no strangers to these emotions. Tohru Honda''s cheerful optimism, however, is like a balm to them. Unfortunately, not every Sohma feels that way! Kisa and Tohru have become fast friends, but Hiro Sohma isn''t too happy about this turn of events and decides to take out his anger on...Tohru?! And when the normally docile Hatsuharu snaps and pulls a Black Haru at school, will Tohru''s brand of magic have any effect at all?!

The much-loved series winds down to the homestretch. Tohru''s feelings for Kyo come to the forefront as she desperately searches for a way to break the curse. If she can''t find a cure in time, Kyo will be locked away by the Sohma for the rest of his life! Graduation is fast approaching, meaning major decisions that will affect not only Tohru and Kyo but all of the members of the Sohma Zodiac. After all of this heartbreak, is a happy ending even possible...?

Their curse might be broken, but big questions still lie ahead for the Sohma family. Now that Kyo is free to dream of his future, what will he make of it? Does growing up mean growing apart, or will his bond with Tohru only strengthen with time? Perhaps their first date will decide! And at long last, the meaning of Kyoko''s ominous words "I''ll never forgive you..." becomes clear. Fans of the series won''t want to miss this thrilling conclusion!
