AWWW it's so cute how Tohru cares about them all. Even when they're fighting.
But it was so sad how Hatori couldn't marry the woman he loves, all because of the curse of the Chinese zodiac.
This is what I love about this series, there's sadness, and happiness and it's so complex. And I love the drawings!

This one gets it's own special review. This was my very first manga I ever read. Yes, number 5 in the series. Hilariously my error. I even taught myself how to draw in the manga style by modeling after this cover. I actually didn't like the way Fruit's Basket ended in the manga so it's strange that I have such a mix of nostalgic love and yet dislike for this series.

So there is not much actually happening other than characters working out their emotional issues and I am still really enjoying this series.

These books never really have much in the way of a solid story line but they often outline and discuss many morals and life lessons.

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:

I was disappointed to find out that this volume didn't include a sound effects index. Although I can remember some of the sound effects I learned in Volumes 2-4, I can't remember all of them. That's an English release disappointment though. It doesn't affect the amazing quality of the storyline!
