Furuba stays true to its message of healing, and getting better. No matter who you are you deserve love and affection and the ability of getting better and realise your mistakes. I love that despite everything the other zodiacs don't have and aren't expected to forgive Akito, Akito realises that she can still get better and she doesn't have to be forgiven to do that and that she can make amends while fully knowing that she might never be forgiven for her actions, she was both a victim and a perpetrator, but her being a victim never justifies her but explains why she was like that.

Things I didn't like:

I know this is a romance shōjo, but the way that breaking the curse just puts everyone in cisheteronormative gender roles was awful to see. Uo and Kureno meet each other two times and they're head over heals for each other and Uo even suffers that greatly over two meetings. I actually don't think Yuki was ready to be in a relationship and the one with Machi isn't that developed, he even covers a role with Machi similar to the role Tohru had with him, but with Tohru he claims it was parent like, while with Machi it was love I guess, despite being very similar, overall I don't think a relationship was supposed to be a thing for a bit longer

The mangaka kind of erased her own queer themes and it sucks so much. Momiji, after the growth spurt, despite still having his child like personality, he starts to dress in a more gender confirming way and the irony of his curse breaking just as he starts doing that feels almost like a joke.

Ritsu says that she has always felt more comfortable in wearing women's clothes and presenting more feminine and after her curse breaks she cuts her hair, starts presenting like a man again, gives away her feminine clothes and is mentioned she is an a relationship with another woman (we could have had lesbians with one of them being a trans woman, but I guess we can't have that) because I guess after the curse was broken she could return to be her true self and that's a straight man apparently.

Despite having canonically bisexual characters like Ayame and Haru, they still have to end up in a m/f relationship, because you still have to fit the mold of everyone having to end up in an m/f relationships despite having more gender options (saying this despite liking Haru and Rin). To be honest after all this the characters queerness felt more like they were put into two categories 1. The one you use for gags (Ayame and sometimes Haru) 2. The one that you will get older and get over it (Momiji and Ritsu).
