Oh, um. Well. Let's see. The curse I don't understand either. When I find out I'll let you know... possibly it's to isolate them. Everyone in the family is seriously messed up. Tohru coming in changes that... I guess is the point. Maybe if the story had really finished it would have made more sense.
Shigure's just weird. But on the other hand apparently a better parent than any of the actual parents.
There are a lot of missing parents, for sure.
And the ones that aren't missing...you kinda wish they were...
I don't get Akito, especially - why he has ta die. I'm assuming he's the dragon, but beyond that...huh?
