Tohru's not gonna die... there are still other zodiacs who have yet to free themselves from their curses. At least, I hope she isn't.
If I know Japan/Chinese drama, and I somewhat do, if the romance begins while there are still much story to tell, chances are, the protagonists aren't gonna get a happy ending. It's how most writers usually pull themselves away from cheesy endings. Not that TohruxKyou has cheesy romance, these two outcasts (the riceball of the Fruit Basket and the cat of the twelve zodiacs) deserve each other. I'm just saying, expect the worst while crossing your fingers for the best.
Um... do you think Tohru might suffer amnesia with that kind of impact?
I have a question, though...
How can Kyou kiss Tohru and still remain human? Or is he gonna go "POP" at the next chapter?
