Opening Volume 12, the sixty-sixth chapter marks the end of summer break and a return to the school routine. Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki all carry visible changes, and while Yuki grows into his role on the student council, Tohru turns to Kazuma for answers about the curse.
Summer vacation has run its course, and the group eases back into everyday school life. Anyone paying attention can see that Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki are not quite the people they were before the break. Yuki grows closer to his fellow student council members and starts to accept his standing as president rather than shrink from it. Away from campus, Tohru pays a visit to Kazuma and puts a direct question to him about how the curse might be undone.
The new term begins with all three leads noticeably altered. Yuki forms real bonds within the student council and embraces the presidency. Tohru seeks out Kazuma to ask about breaking the curse. Familiar faces from school return, among them Arisa, Saki, and the members of the student council, alongside Kakeru, Machi, and the Prince Yuki Fan Club.
