well fruits basket is my favorite it is so cute.








love, comedy, and a great story.








Fruits Basket follows the life of high-school student Tohru Honda, who was recently orphaned when her mother, Kyoko Honda, died in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when his house needs remodeling, Tohru resorts to living in a tent in a forest and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains optimistic.


One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that is the home of her classmate Yuki Sohma and his older relative Shigure Sohma. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her inner strength. The entire area is Sohma property, and Tohru asks to be allowed to stay in her tent (affectionately dubbed %26quot;her castle%26quot;). Feeling sorry for her and desperate to end their bachelor days of filthy living conditions, the Sohmas offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. After a landslide buries her tent, including her mother%26#039;s picture and school clothes, she has no option but to accept. Soon after she moves in, Kyo Sohma comes to challenge Yuki.


Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family%26#039;s secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private and secretive at school: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac (jyūnishi in Japanese) plus the spirit of the cat who was, according to legend, left out of the Zodiac. They transform into animals when hugged by the opposite sex or when put under a great deal of emotional or physical stress (such as being sick). When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not %26quot;Inside%26quot; the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.


The story follows the lives of Tohru and the Sohma family, as they deal with each other and a society where neither quite fits in, as well as the feared Akito Sohma, head of the Sohma family. Soon, after living with the Sohma family she began to like, then love, all of the Sohmas, and sets out to break the zodiac curse.








well if you want to read it before you buy it

Reply:Fruits Basket is one of the most popular shoujo manga (or shojo, whatever you like to call it). Although I never seen it, I never hear anyone dislike this manga. The review is really good too and the storyline does seem great. If you want to watch the anime first, don%26#039;t and go read the manga, since the storyline is better in the manga.





Here%26#039;s some summary of it:





Fruits Basket follows the life of high school student Honda Tohru, recently orphaned when her mother is killed in a car crash. When we first meet her she has had to temporarily leave her Grandfather%26#039;s house and, unwilling to impose on her friends, is living in a tent in the woods. Despite suffering many hardships, Honda remains cheerful and optimistic.





One day Tohru comes upon a house in the woods which is the home of some young men from the Sohma family, including Sohma Yuki, a worshiped but aloof boy from her school. Feeling sorry for her, and desperate to end their take-out eating habits and pig sty living, the Sohma%26#039;s offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. When her tent is buried in a landslide, she has no option but to accept.





Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family%26#039;s secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private: many members of the family are possessed by animal spirits from the Chinese zodiac (%26quot;Jyuunishi%26quot; in Japanese), and transform into that animal when hugged by the opposite sex! When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohma%26#039;s allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that has previously befallen all who have found them out.





The story follows the lives of Tohru and the Sohma family, as they deal with each other and a society where neither quite fit in.

It%26#039;s basically about a girl who goes to live with a family who%26#039;s cursed to change into the animals when they%26#039;re hugged by a person of the opposite sex, i.e a cat or mouse!
