Honda is a simple, sweet natured girl who, despite her happy-go-lucky disposition,
never did have much luck on her side. Her fortune is about to change, however,

Tohru's makeshift home is washed away in a storm. There, she unwittingly
stumbles upon his family's deep dark secret, and a series of madcap and
heartwarming antics ensue as the lives of the once private Sohmas are turned
upside down with the arrival of the new addition to their family! It's
time for the party to begin, and everyone's invited!

Now that Tohru has come to be a permanent resident of the Sohma household, her eyes are opened to a world few have access to - the lives as lived by the enigmatic (not to mention eccentric!) Sohmas. Being accepted by Shigure, Yuki and Kyo is one thing, but will other members of the Sohma clan take to this 'outsider' as easily? There were others before her, but what of their fate? Even as two more members of the Zodiac decide to pay her a surprise visit in school... Tohru finds herself with an even bigger crisis at hand... keeping the Sohma family secret from her two best friends, Uotani and Hanajima... who insist on dropping by for a sleepover!

Valentine's day has arrived, and luuuurve (and evil plotting by fangirls) is in the air!

But then again, Tohru's generous with presents for everyone, as if chocolates were free and randomly fell from the sky! It's definitely going to be hard for the Sohmas to top that when it's their turn to reciprocate come White Day... but only because Kagura's back to stalk her beloved kitty cat, while another member of the Zodiac... and Yuki's self-proclaimed first-love(!)... is MOO-ving in for the kill! Be afraid! Be very afraid! The 'Fatal Attractions' have just been unleashed, and there is no stopping them!

What is with the silent treatment? Yuki and Kyo haven't been on speaking, or rather, 'arguing' terms ever since they returned from visiting Kyoko's grave; Hatori seems more sombre than usual (if that is actually possible)... and even Kisa Sohma, the newest member of the Zodiac Tohru encounters, is reluctant to talk. The Sohma household just isn't the same when it's not its usual rowdy party! At times like these, it takes a special happy-go-lucky girl like Tohru to break the silence the way she knows best... by being herself!

Just when the Sohma household seems at peace again, Hiro Sohma, the smart-mouthed grade school kid with an attitude problem that outrials Kyo, decides to show up and make his presense felt. And he certainly isn't going to allow himself to be assimilated into the 'sheep mentality' of the other Sohma members who have been 'brainwashed' by Tohru's (niceness... especially when she's his rival for Kisa's affection! Still, Tohru's) kindness has always been infectious, as was her mother Kyoko... (who was a former gang member leader!) Obviously, role models don't always need to look the part!
