Fruits Basket Volume 1
Fruits Basket Volume 1
Tohru Honda was an orphan, living with her grandfather, when one day fate kicked her out of the house and she was forced to take up residence in a tent in the forest. Little did she know that the land she was staying on belonged to the Sohma family, a clan of beautiful and mysterious people. After stumbling upon the teenage squatter, the Sohmas invite Tohru to stay in their house in exchange for cooking and cleaning. Everything's going well until she discovers the Sohma family's greatest secret: when hugged by members of the opposite sex, they each turn into their Chinese Zodiac animal!

I have to say that, even as an adult (straight) male, I enjoy "Fruits Basket" thoroughly. The character interactions are much deeper than in any other series of anime/manga, and because it IS anime/manga, the overemotional aspect of a lot of these interactions don't quite tingle my suspension of disbelief. (In other words, I don't say, "How cheesy," because, well, it's nothing compared to people turning into animals.) This is an amazing thing about the series. Furthermore, I really feel that all of the characters, especially Tohru, show an inner strength that a lot of people should attempt to emulate in their lives. I find myself both admiring characters like Kisa, Tohru, and Hatori and asking myself in real life, "How would Tohru act?" I think that this series is a landmark in entertainment. If Hollywood knows what's best for them, they'll take a few lessons from "Fruits Basket", such as how to make a proper love triangle. They should also note that the comedic aspects do not overlap with the romantic and pain-centered aspects; too many American romances are based around the "comedy-of-errors" storyline and too few are serious romances with comedy elements added onto the outside. Witholding nothing, "Fruits Basket" is the archetype of aesthetics. My only hope is that everyone is able to see it for what it truly is: pure beauty.
luv it

After reading just the first one, I was imediatly hooked. I'm just waiting to get the eighth one from the library.
I don't know how many people know this, but anyways... Have any of you heard of Haruka Naru Toki no Naka de? It's this game/anime/manga that's sorta like Fushigi Yuugi. There is character in the anime version that looks A LOT like Kyou-kun. And I mean seriously. They have the same colour and same style of hair, SAME VOICE ACTOR, same personality, etc. etc. Yeah...you get the picture. BTW, his name is Tenma something.
