Lovely

If you've never read or watched Fruits Basket; I HIGHLY recommend it. It is defiantly one of the best shojo manga's out there!!! It is so beautiful and bittersweet. (I just bought this manga to complete my collection as I have already read it)
Love!

The Best Manga Ever!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I don't read manga. I don't buy manga. I have always thought that those who get interested in manga are over the top otaku's who love their anime way too much. However, I watched the show and ABSOLUTELY LOVED every minute of it and I could not get enough of it! I decided to pick up the manga after I read some online forums that talked about how much the show left out. After reading it, some things in the show just make more sense. I feel like I understand the whole story a little bit better, and understand the characters better. I really enjoyed everything about this manga and I plan to buy the rest of them! So, if you're wondering about whether you'd enjoy it, whether you should buy it... I would say that you should just do it! If you loved the show, you'll love these (especially because it helps to fill in a lot of the blanks!) If you haven't seen the show and are interested in reading this anyway, I say go for it, it can't hurt ^_^ Even if you haven't seen the show, I think you'll still love it.
A 5 second guide to Japanese honorifics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Quick review of the manga: Sweet, beautiful, slow-paced. Now, a quick guide to Japanese Honorifics (titles) used in Fruits Basket -san is the most common honorific. Comparable to Mr. or Ms. -kun is an informal and intimate honorific used by superiors addressing inferiors, or by males of roughly the same age and status. Also used among male friends. -chan is the imformal diminutive of -san, used by children to refer to friends and family members, or by family members, close friends, lovers, pets, etc. -sama is the most formal honorific used in everyday conversation. Used in addressing one of much higher rank.
Oh, the insanity!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Fruits Basket happens to be one of my FAVORITE animes, and ironically, it's completely insane. It will DEFINITELY remind you of Ranma 1/2. Tohru Honda is a very pleasant and independent High-school girl. When her mom dies, and her grandfather cannot give her a home, she decides that everyone would be happy is she lived by herself...in a tent. On her way to school, she meets Shigure, who just happens to be "Prince" Yuki's cousin, the school heart-throb. She also meets another relative of Yuki's; Kyo, a foul tempered red-head. But what is *really* strange about the three? They have a curse, that when hugged by the opposite sex, they turn into their animal of the zodiac. Tohru is given the chance to live their if she keeps their weird secret. So...everything will be alright? Maybe if this weren't an anime.
A great edition to a great story!

Fruits Basket is one of the best manga I've read in years, hands down, and volume two is just as good as the first one. It is a little darker (perfectly balanced, though) and you get to dig deeper into some of the characters. You learn more about the Sohma family and about the curse, too. You won't regret adding this to your bookshelf!
