Some spoilers for Fruits Basket. I think I like the parts with the dark family secrets and especially Akito/Shigure much better than the parts with Tohru[who is growing some angst and Kyo. The part about Tohru wanting to break the curse for Kyo? good. But Kyo blaming himself for her mom's death? Eh..Kyo's got enough angst already. You have to balance it. Akito is OK for a lot of angst because his/her evil actions need explanation. Kyo? a regular guy with a hot temper and some cousin rivalry issues. You don't need that much angst- just make him the outcast with a dead mom, and it's fine,ok?
