Chapter 108 opens the nineteenth volume of Fruits Basket. Facing the thought of a life without Kyo, Tohru is pushed to examine what she actually feels, and she admits that he is the true motive behind her wish to lift the family curse.
This installment stands as the very first entry of the nineteenth volume and the one hundred and eighth chapter of the series overall. Tohru comes face to face with the possibility of a future that no longer holds a place for Kyo, and the prospect leaves her unable to keep avoiding her own heart. Pressed by that fear, she finally puts her real emotions into words.
Tohru arrives at a confession she has long held back, naming Kyo as the reason she has wanted to see the Sohma curse broken all along. The realization reframes her long effort against the family's bond as something rooted in her feelings for him rather than duty alone.
