Fruits Basket....It is practically impossible to summarize this manga. There is just so much to it. I know, you wouldn't think it with a name like "Fruits Basket," would you? But if you can get past the fluffy-seeming tittle and how ditzy the heroine looks, you will find a true gem.
Each and every one of the characters has depth, and even the dead get their stories told. The psychological aspect of this manga is huge. You'll get pulled into the characters' lives, their pasts, and of course, have a few twists and turns along the way. But you'll have to be patient. After all, it's not fun if everything is revealed in the first few chapters, right?Compared to your average shoujo manga, Fruits Basket's twenty-three volumes is admittedly long. The mangaka is Takaya Natsuki, and after reading this manga I have decided she is brilliant. One of the best things about this series is the way she ends it. It's not a rushed ending where everything magically falls into place in the final chapter. No, the "ending" starts several chapters before the manga actually ends, so that everything wraps up nicely, leaving the sweetest glimpse of the future for the last moment.
