This is the last volume of the series that I own a copy of. And I don't even know anymore. I think that reason I didn't get past this volume is just the absurdity of some of the characters. In this volume I'm especially thinking about Ritsu, Ayame and Shigure. Ritsu and Ayame are so over the top, while Shigure is just... weird.

This is the first volume we get a glimpse of Rin and how Hatsuharu has feelings for her, albeit it's a very brief glimpse of Rin that we get.

We meet Ritsu and I love how Tohru's compassion is able to calm them down to the point that they're wanting to meet someone to eat takoyaki with. As the series progresses, we see just how Tohru's kindness affects the Sohmas and how she is able to help them become happier with themselves just by being herself.

This volume was pretty boring ngl. The interesting parts that gave some characters backstory were really short yet the new character (forgot his name) was given way too much attention imo. He's kind of annoying.
Also I'm super confused about some things now? I thought Haru had a crush on Yuki but now suddenly he was in a relationship with Rin? Plus Rin looks way too old for him. Wasn't Haru like 15? She looks way older but idk the anime style has always made it harder to figure out ages haha
(How old is Shigure anyways? Mid-thirties? I guess I'll have to look at fanwikis to find out :')

This series took a while to get started, but it has some really great characters, storylines and pacing. The author takes his time to introduce the characters. Though I still sometimes get the feeling that Toru is too perfect.

I have read the cute, heartbreaking story of Fruits Basket years ago. And I read it about 3 or 4 times, maybe more. The story is a bit cliche, but the characters are memorable.

A story about closed off loners that broken, depressed and sad individuals hoping for a happiness they could never achieve. Each characters deals with the pain and loneliness differently, learning how to embrace happiness and bloom into individuals they never thought they could be.

Its beautifully written, heartwarming, with relatable emotions anyone can feel. This is one any manga avid reader should go through at least once. A classic that should honestly be recommend by anyone.

Do I recommend it:
