the first season was ok, the ending was iffy, i want a season 2!i read the mangas and i agree the animation just keeps getting better and better but i really do want to see a season2!!.........Ok?^_^
The story dragged on far too long for my taste, but he plot was surprisingly twisted in a way that kept me wanting to know more.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
poor thing loses everything.. Get taken in by the 12 zodiacs.. They battle their twisted ways while she holds them together.. She gets into drama with the boss.. Then all is well.
i highly recommend this manga!!! Its a really cute manga and its different to most shojo manga's.this is one of my favorite mangas as it has made me smile, cry and laugh out loud. i love, love, love it!! i love all the charters and their personalty's.I have never been so upset when a manga has finished.
Just that one word can describe this story. When I first started reading this series I was completely into it, but I broke off of it for a long time and just now finished it and I have to say, it was a very romantic and happy story. There was the tragedy, the hate, the unwanting, the unforgivefulness but the whole story was amazing. Everything fit into the spots. There were times I was confused but my confusion was cleared up very fast and I just loved this series.
If anyone wants a story with plot twists, angsty, loving, hateful, comedy filled, and all around wonderful plot this is a story for you.

This is one of the most amazing manga I have ever read. Sure, some chapters are slow, but Fruits Basket touches on many, many emotions with a brilliant plot. A great read.
compared to the anime,the manga of fruits basket is more revealing.And it really shows more of the romances arround everyone.Its a manga that people will likely read again.
I forgot that I saved the last three chapters on my computer, so when I started reading only those three, I ended up in tears. haha. Fruits Basket hit my emotional button so many times, but I loved it. This manga shows so much character development like courage and learning to love. One of the first mangas to touch my heart. <3
This was a surprisingly good manga. It's fairly lighthearted with just enough plot twists to keep it interesting all the way through.
Looking back, I notice that all the character development comes together to slowly build toward the conclusion. Their problems are slowly solved and there's not major shifts in anyone's personalities, which makes the story more realistic. Most importantly, every character was very well developed and there's no cliche good or bad guys or ridiculous drama.

Honestly it is one of the best manga out here! Do not compare to the anime! Manga is much much more awesome and has an u unspeakably better ending. Not to mention that the protagonist's IQ is higher than in anime (dunno why).
And the idea of the family curse, Chinese zodiac, romance, drama and hilarious comedy all over to the end. A must read for all!

Although i have seen better artwork in other manga's its not all that bad, what really hooked me in was the plot and the character development, their isn't a single character that is one dimensional. This story really balances fantasy with reality and touches on so many other things than romance (although romance does play a big part. This manga was the first manga that i read and was actually really happy with the ending. In reguards to the anime it just doesn't do the manga justice, they don't introduce enough characters and the whole story is rushed.
