After a long summer vacation, the students are back in school, and the Soma family is no exception. In this episode, titled "A New School Term Starts!", we are introduced to a new character, Hiro, who is a classmate of Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo. Hiro is a little condescending, and he appears to be obsessed with Kisa, another member of the Soma family.

Initially, Hiro seems to be a bit of a brat, picking on Kisa and acting superior around the other students. Kisa has been undergoing some tough times, and we get to see a bit of her struggles in the episode. Thankfully, Tohru is there to offer support and a listening ear, but she doesn't become the only one to lend Kisa an ear. We are also introduced to Haru, Hatsuhara, who is another member of the Soma family, and he has a unique approach to helping Kisa deal with the difficulties that she is facing.

The episode focuses on the three characters, Hiro, Kisa, and Haru, and we get to see a bit of their backstories. Hiro is particularly interesting, as we get to see a side of him that is vulnerable and scared. He doesn't want to be left behind by his friends, and he's afraid that he's going to lose Kisa to someone else. Kisa, on the other hand, is lonely and depressed and feels isolated from the other students. Haru provides a sort of balance between the two, as he's calm and collected and offers wisdom and support to those around him.

Throughout the episode, we see the characters grow and change, and we get to see the power of friendship and understanding. Hiro learns that being a jerk isn't the way to win people over, and Kisa learns that she's not alone, and there are people who care for her. Haru, for his part, provides a sort of stability throughout the episode, as he helps the two young characters find their way.

The episode is filled with humor and heart, and it's a welcome return to the world of Fruits Basket. The visuals are well done, and the voice acting is top-notch as usual. Fans of the series will enjoy the unique approach that this episode takes, and newcomers will be able to jump right in and appreciate the story.
