Oh! I didn't think about the doubling of all the couples -- I picked up a little on Kyoko/Katsuya in vol. 1, but forgot the others. I'll have to pay more attention to that.
Oh man, I adore Kyo so much more the second time around, now that I'm not worrying about the possibility of a romantic triangle driving me nuts.
Oh! I don't even remember Kazuya being in wafuku! Awesome! I also agree re: Yuki being a very liminal figure; his child-wafuku and his teen-uniform really symbolize how he's moving away from the main house and Akito, and also how he's in that odd role of being Akito's favorite while also wanting to leave the Sohma family as far behind as possible. Neat note on Haru and Rin's really non-traditional clothing, I hadn't thought of that!
Also, didn't think about Akito and birds and Kureno! Awesome!
This reread project is so fun! I mean... there is just so much going on; I can't believe this is just vol. 2!
