Natsuki Takaya (高屋 奈月 Takaya Natsuki, real name Naka Hatake) is the penname of a Japanese manga artist best-known for creating the series Fruits Basket. She was born on July 7, 1973; (Tanabata). Takaya is left-handed and once revealed that she wanted to be a mangaka since first grade, when her sister started drawing.
She was born in Shizuoka, Japan, but was raised in Tokyo, where she made her debut in 1992. She enjoys video games such as the Final Fantasy series or Sakura Wars, or working on her different manga series, such as Fruits Basket, which is the second best-selling shōjo manga ever in Japan, and the top selling shōjo manga in North America. Fruits Basket has also been adapted into a twenty-six-episode anime series.
In 2001, Takaya received a Kodansha Manga Award for shōjo manga for Fruits Basket.
According to Takaya (in a sidebar of a Fruits Basket manga volume), she enjoys drawing girls (girly ones) more than she does boys. Takaya also enjoys electronics and music, but dislikes talking about herself. Also revealed in a sidebar of Fruits Basket, Takaya broke her drawing arm (left) after Fruits Basket volume six was published. She had to go into surgery, and as a result, had put Fruits Basket on a brief hiatus. Takaya made a full recovery, but complains that her handwriting had gotten uglier, due to the surgery. During her hospital stay, she gained an interest in baseball.

In volume four we get Yuuri finally figuring out his feelings for Saku, the story of how they met, the gashuku, and more of the slowly developing friendship of Chihiro and Saku. One of the things i love about this series is that it's such a true depiction of those first innocent moments of a crush, just wanting to be with that person, wanting to know more about them, wanting to see them smile.
Saku and Yuuri's backstory touches on another of Takaya's themes: some times people are cruel without even realizing it, but if you realize it, you can change. No one is ever perfect.
This book finally hints at what may have happened in Chichiro's past, and it looks like we'll find out more in Volume 5 - which doesn't come out until May!

Un tome 4 centré sur le personnage de Yuuri. Y'aurait il de la jalousie dans l'air ? L'action se passe durant le stage d'été.
Encore une fois, l'auteur nous dévoile petit à petit certains secrets des personnages par petites touches. Les scènes de nuit sont très touchantes et empruntes de poésie. On sent une nouvelle complicité en train de se lier et une douceur qui dessine des liens de plus en plus forts entre les 4 protagonistes principaux. Un joli tome qui rajoute un peu de complexité à l'intrigue principale.

This was definitely my favorite volume so far. The story finally got a little more interesting with the backstory of of Yuuri and Saku's friendship. I also love any time we get to see Sei-chan and Saki interact.
Let's see what happens next!

Beh, è lentissimo e non succede praticamente nulla.
Questo volume mi è piaciuto un po' di più dei precendenti perché si parla della storia di Yuri e di come è diventato amico di Sakuya. Quasi quasi è più simpatico lui di Chihiro. No, scratch that è più simpatico di Chihiro, senza quasi quasi.
Va beh, continuiamo a leggere con la tutta la calma.
