I had no idea what the premise of this manga series was. But, I knew it was very popular with manga-philes, so I decided to give it a go. Much, to my surprise the premise follows an orphan who is taken in by a family harboring a deep, dark secret...oooh! Apparently, the members of the Sohma family have been cursed and whenever they are touched by a member of the opposite sex they turn into an animal from the Chinese zodiac. The premise and artwork are fantastic! The narration is only so-so. I'm glad I was able to check out the first couple volumes of this series as I had been curious as to why it was so popular. Now I know, and as the great and wise G.I. Joe used to say, "and knowing is half the battle."
