Notes
Written and drawn by Natsuki Takaya, the sixteen-page chapter is the fifth of the second volume, with Sawa Mitoma, Mito, and Amane on its cover. Near the close, Chiaki Hasada praises the vacation house because a bear named Jason supposedly lives there, a callback to the original series moment when Shigure Sohma frightened Kyo and Tohru with the same claim. In truth Jason was the name of a serial killer rather than any bear, a fact the two of them never caught. Hajime jokes that he is crushed his father is still needled over the Jason story years afterward.
