I really loved the story that Tohru's mother told Kyo as a child about her life, how she ran away from home, got her life turned around by a teacher who she later married, gave birth to Tohru, and her feelings after her husband died. As much as I love it though, I feel like her mom's story has been told before in previous volumes. Nothing happens with the characters in present day (the remaining chapters were pretty dull). For something that's already in the 16th volume, I had hoped for more progress rather than reflection.

Bonus is just a summary/character intro page.
