Episode 42: Ugh Kagura (Fruits Basket 4-6)

Podcast

Sep 3

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika continue Fruits Basket (2019) with episodes four through six. In episode 4, Giana reads the most difficult Wikipedia summary yet. The way Tohru finds joy in the little things and has such an optimistic outlook impresses Giana and Chika. In Hot Fudge, Chika describes Kagura perfectly to a T. In episode 5, Giana realizes a tear-inducing Sprinkle On Top on the fly. Grandpa Honda steals the show with that righteous slap. Tohru’s emotional journey of leaving Shigure’s house mixed with the Sohma boys choosing her really strikes a chord with the ladies. The avenue Tohru’s cousin takes to become a police officer stirs up a lot of piping hot fudge. In episode 6, we formally meet Momiji and everybody’s favorite hot doctor, Hatori! Kyo’s reaction to a cat-shaped riceball validates Chika’s dislike of eating themed food. Chika speculates which US publisher would take on Shigure’s writing.

Grab your spoons, and let’s dig in!
