Fruits Basket chapter 19! Fruits Basket chapter 19 Translated by Linnie-san
{Some notes from the translator: I kept all the name suffixes, like –san and –chan, as they were in the original Japanese. Also, certain titles like Senpai and Sensei are left in Japanese with the meanings of those words in parentheses. Thoughts are in parentheses, actions and sound effects are in asterisks, and narrations are in brackets.}
p. 8
A sentimental story you can only get here.
Takaya-sensei: I wasn’t expecting it, but a lot of questions have arrived from the readers. I think I’ll answer all of them individually. What do you think? Teddy Bear: Well, many would think that, “That matter is up to the writer. However you do it is fine. So you can describe about things like Yuki and Kyou!,” but that isn’t something someone like me knows. Takaya-sensei: This is tough…
1. What happened to what Yuki was wearing at the culture festival after the festival?
Takaya-sensei: He cut it into many pieces and distributed it to the fan club members. That was a waste, wasn’t it.
2. Does Touru wash Yuki and the others’ underwear too?
Takaya-sensei: If Touru doesn’t wash them someone does… One or two pairs of underwear are fine. When Touru wasn’t there they took their laundry to the dry cleaners, didn’t they… It’s fine… Rich people bring even underwear to the dry cleaners.
3. Did Shigure buy that maid uniform he prepared at Ayame’s shop?
Takaya-sensei: I wonder if it was… I think the inside of Ayame’s store will be shown, so keep waiting okay. It isn’t because I don’t know.
4. What does Touru do when she is menstruating?
Takaya-sensei: The second floor toilet is exclusively for Touru… One time Kyou walked in on me and there was a scene. It was my mistake, though. But…, in the manga world we don’t care about describing that sort of thing, I think… Is that the last one?
5. How will it end in the conclusion of the series?
Takaya-sensei: What will happen then…?
p. 9
Touru narration: [It’s Spring!! My heart is pounding with excitement over the new school term!! We proudly became second-year students!!] Touru: All the new first-year students looked so cute!

Ultra-Special Thing of no Importance 1:
I forgot to say this last time, but from book three on the character introductions and the summaries are included. They weren’t there before. This is what I was longing for. I wanted to include this from the beginning of my vision, but it couldn’t be helped. By some chance (?) I am able to continue the series… Another dream has come true (laughs).
p.10
Touru: Although it would have been nice if Kyou-kun and Uo-chan had also attended the school entrance ceremony… Kyou and Uo together: It’s a hassle. Uo: The pollen is irritating me anyway. I would have collapsed from the endless coughing. Seriously. Kyou: You should take some medicine. Or close the window. Uo: It doesn’t work. I wonder if it’s because I took too much of various medicines when I was younger. *coughs* Kyou: What “various medicines?”…… Uo: Anyhow, where’s the Prince? Touru: He’s busy with the school entrance ceremony management committee. Uo: Ah… That sounds tough…
p. 11
Uo: And it looks like he’ll soon be attacked by lovesick first-years.
-
First-year student: Um… Senpai (upperclassman) I lost my student notebook… Committee member: Huh? Your asking about that sort thing… First-year: Um… Yes… Yuki: Do you remember where you were when you lost it? Let’s go look for it.
p. 12
Yuki: For now, could you tell me your name and what class you’re in? Lovesick first-year 1: Of course!! I’m Arimori Satomi, 15 years old, my sign is the scorpion, my hobby is handicrafts and my most charming feature is my slender ankles!! Lovesick first-year 2: I.. I.. I’m Sonomiya Rina. People say I resemble Fujiwara Norika. Lovesick first-year 3: You don’t resemble her, you idiot. I do. I do. Lovesick first-year 4: Me too. Me too. Committee member: This is too excessive to be enviable, Souma……
-
Uo: The Prince might become student president this year. That will be trouble for the current student president. Touru (thinking): (Yuki-kun wouldn’t like that…)
p. 13
Hana: Touru-kun… I sensed electromagnetic wave signals that were similar to your guardian Shigure-san’s…… Touru: Uh, yes. He’s here. Actually, there are some Souma family members entering the school as first-years, so……
-
Shigure: Haa-kun and the others are like younger brothers to me……Without fail, I must be present and commit to memory the vision of their magnificent appearance… Yuki and Kyou: ……… Shigure: Alas, those looks of yours are filled with doubt. Could it be that you think I would be going there for the high-school girls!? No, no, no. Young people don’t know the meaning of the word “romance”!!
-
Hana: Idiot.
p. 14
Uo: Wait a minute. There are more Soumas entering this school? What are they like? Boys? Girls? Touru: There are two boys. One of them was at the culture festival… Uo: Bring them here, Kyon. Hana: Yes… Bring them here. Kyou: Why me!? Why not make her go!? She’s probably gonna go greet them anyway. Touru: Sure. I’ll go. Hana’s hand on Kyou’s shoulder: *pon* Hana: Why do you find it necessary to put Touru-kun in particular through such difficulty…? Kyou: Fine, I’ll go!! Don’t touch me!! Uo: Good.
p. 15
Touru: Um, it’s fine. I really was thinking of going to greet them. But you went through all that trouble, so maybe Kyou-kun and I should go together? Kyou: Say… Why do we have to go meet with those guys just because they came to this school? Touru: If you meet with them at school it will be a different setting! It will be fun!! See you later. Kyou: … Uo: He obeys Touru so quickly. Hana: Interesting…
p. 16
Kyou: Do you know which class the white-haired guy and the blond with the family name Souma are in? First-year 1: Uh, yes. They’re in the same class as us... Kyou: Tell them to come here. First-year 1 and 2: Okay!!
-
Kyou: Did you think we’re going to run around and visit each classroom!? Touru: Sorry, sorry.
-
Kyou (thinking): (Jeez. She did want to go to all the classrooms. What? Is she that stupid…?)
Male student 1: Hey, look at her. That girl is cute huh. Male student 2: Yeah. She’s cute, but she looks kind of stupid. Male student 1: Isn’t better when they’re stupid,
p. 17
Male student 1: because they won’t argue with you then? Isn’t a girl who is intense about her own opinions annoying? Male student 2: I guess so… In that case, she does look like she would believe anything you say. Male student 1: Let’s call her over……
Kyou’s fist on the wall: *bang* Touru: !? Kyou: ……
p. 18
Male students: *blink* Touru: ? ? ? Male students: scary! scary! Kyou: That’s what you get for looking brainless. Airhead! *bonks her head* Touru: Huh!? Ah, um, right!! !? Kyou: Look alert when you’re alone! Don’t complain to me if you get kidnapped because you look vulnerable and weak! Touru: ? ? ? Uh…Right! *alert* Kyou: … When you’re alone, I said. When I’m near you, you’ll be fine no matter how brainless you look…… *sighs*
p. 19
Touru: Okay… *phew* Kyou: I-, I don’t mean anything strange by that!! Don’t misunderstand, ‘cause that would annoy me too! Touru: Huh? What do you mean by…… strange……? Kyou: What am I saying……? Am I being…… stupid……? Touru: ? ? Momiji: Hallo! Touru: Ah! Momiji-kun!?
p. 20
Momiji: Touru ! Touru: Momiju-ku- *bang* Momiji: waaaaaa! Kyou: You idiot!! Touru: Kyo-, Kyou-kun, calm down…… (arrow): (Touru already saw him at the entrance ceremony.)
p. 21
Haru: Hey…… Touru: Ah, Hatsuharu-san- Kyou: Of all things, This idiot here is wearing a girl’s uniform!!! It’s embarrassing! Besides, it’s even worse than how ridiculous Haru looks!! Haru: Ah…… Momiji: *cries* Haru: It’s fine. If it suits him. Momiji: It does suit me!! Touru: Yes, it suits you!! Kyou: *growls* Even if it suits him, that doesn’t change that it’s embarrassing.
p. 22
Lovesick Haru: *spreads arms out* Touru: !? Lovesick Haru: *walks forward* Yuki: Ugh…… Honestly. That’s quite an appearance Momiji…… (to Haru) You’re one of them too? Touru: Yuki-kun, are you finished with your work? Yuki: No. I happened to be on patrol and came to check on this situation. Momiji: Tough work, huh. Yuki: …If that’s how feel, could you stop acting like you’re trying to make more work for me? Touru: Momiji-kun, Hatsuharu-san, what are your impressions of this school?
p. 23
Haru: Hmm… Momiji: Listen! Listen! I was told not to frolic in school in order to avoid colliding with a girl while frolicking, so I’ll be cool while I’m at school! Kyou: Cool!? Looking like this is cool!? Takei: That way! Second-year, class D, Souma Kyou-kun!! That orange hair is also distasteful, but something like a boy wearing a girl’s uniform!! Never before and never again!! It’s shameless!! Even if the teachers allow it, I won’t!!! That’s because
p. 24
Takei: I am this school’s student president, Takei Makoto!! Takei’s groupies: *clapping* Takei: My other name is campus defense squad commander!! Haru: The idiocy just multiplied… Takei: Honestly, so soon after entering the school you’re nothing but a problem child!! First of all, you, Souma Hatsuharu-kun!! Aside from your bleached white hair, all that jewelry is ridiculous and audacious!! Yuki: Kaichou (president)… That’s his natural hair color. Takei: Yuki-kun!! It’s spectacular!! That is somehow his natural hair!? The roots are black!!
p. 25
Yuki: But it is his natural hair. Takei: I can’t believe that!! It doesn’t make sense!! Touru (thinking): (I guess I can’t tell him, “it’s because he’s the cow.”) Haru: (moo) Takei: And what about your appearance!? Is that natural for you, Souma Momiji-kun!? Have you no pride as a man!? If you do that sort of thing from now on you’ll be heading down the highway of failure at full speed!! Momiji: But, but this suits me better… Touru: ! Momiji: *boo hoo* Touru: Ah, um, please don’t criticize him so harshly- Takei: I am not criticizing, Honda Touru-kun!! I am accusing him based on reasonable views in accordance with common sense!! *zap*
p. 26
Takei: Zap? Black Haru: Shut up! Stop acting like you’re the king of the mountain. It’s hurting my ears. Shitty bastard! Yuki: *gulp* Kyou: Haru…… Takei: Wha, what!? Black Haru: Well then, I’ll leave it up to you. If I fold my socks in three while wearing them, you won’t beat the crap out of me? Takei: *sputters* Black Haru: If I don’t have piercings, you won’t beat me to death? If my hair is black, you won’t kill me?
p. 27
Black Haru: Who do you think you are? God!? Huh!!? Touru, Momiji, Kyou, and Yuki (thinking): (The Black has taken over!!) Black Haru: Then say something God!! Bark!! Takei’s groupies: Kaichou!! Kaichou!! Kyou: Hey! Cut it out! He’s just an amateur- Black Haru: Shut up, stupid cat! Stay out of this, stupid cat!! Kyou: Shut up! Don’t call me stupid! I’ll pound you, you shitty brat!! Black Haru: Eh!?
p. 28
Black Haru: Don’t act like you’re so great when last time you put your tail between legs and ran away from the fight!! (parenthesis): (*note: in reference to chapters 13-14) Kyou: That was you who randomly ended it!! Black Haru: Damn you! Are you taking his side!? Hey!! Are you saying he’s right!? Kyou: Either way you’re still an idiot!! Yuki: They have completely forgotten about the Kaichou… *sighs* Momiji: Touru, do you want a lollipop? (arrow): (He’s already lost interest in the matter.) Touru: … Black Haru: Hey there big sister. Takei’s groupie: Eek! Kyou: Don’t get distracted!! Black Haru: What do you think? For example, do you think Momiji is attractive? If you’re patient, he’ll grow up. Won’t it be nice when he looks like a man then? He will become very attractive. Isn’t just imagining it pleasant?
p. 29
*glitter* Takei’s groupies: Nice…… Takei: Don’t brainwash them!! This…, this… Your behavior is unprecedented!! Black Haru: And the appearance that individually suits someone is best… Takei: That’s a good thing?! That’s merely disobedience, and compared to the other students- Black Haru: Don’t you try to teach manners… Well, what if… What would you do if Yuki wore a girl’s uniform!?
p. 30
*glitter* Takei: Nice… Yuki: It’s not nice!! Haru…… If you don’t cut that out I’ll sever all ties with you…… (arrow): (He’s being serious.) Black Haru: It’s my strategy ! A word strategy ! Don’t be angry ! Takei: Magnificent…… Yuki: Stop picturing it!!
p. 31
Takei: Wha, what a magnificent vision. What was I doing just now…? You’re A rather clever young man, Souma Hatsuharu-kun… Anyway, that hair!! Can you enlighten me as to how that could be you natural hair!? Black Haru: I can. Takei: Ho ho! How will you prove it!? Do you have proof!? Show it!! *boom* Takei: Ah, um…, wait… *drags him* *men’s room door closes* *men’s room door opens*
p. 32
Takei: What magnificent proof… There’s still a lot of things I don’t know about the world… Black Haru: heh Kyou thinking: (Did he show him…?) Yuki thinking: (He showed him…) Takei: Today was my defeat… However, next time I’ll skillfully round you all up with one throw of the rope! Momiji: Is he done talking? What did he come here to do after all? Yuki: Because… Touru: Um… What did you do in the bathroom to show proof that it’s your natural hair? Black Haru: Well, what if I do something even better? It’s fine. I can do that sort of thing without having to embrace- *boom* someone. Kyou: Black Haru... Whan he’s Black he’s impossible to handle…… Touru: Ah…… Um… Yuki: It’s fine… Don’t worry about it Honda-san…
p. 34
Haru: Somehow I feel worn out… Kyou: Yeah… Worn out… *bell rings* Touru: It’s the chime! We have to get back to the classroom. Oh! Would you meet my friends after you get out of class?? Momiji: Touru’s friends!? Sure! Of course I will! Haru: Sure… Touru: Thank you! Yuki and Kyou both thinking: (It’s still not too late now, so I want to go to a different high school…) *dead tired* Momiji: That’s right! Hey Yuki, Kyou. I have something to tell you, so could you stay?
p. 35
Yuki: Eh? Touru: Ah, in that case I’ll go back now. Momiji: Sorry Touru. Touru: It’s okay. Kyou: What is it? It better be worth it. If it’s something stupid I’ll hang you. Yuki: ……?
Touru: Ahh. That was really chaotic. I can’t wait to get together with Uo-chan and the others. (But Yuki and Kyou will probably be feeling this worn-out from now on.) It will be fun.
