What a sweet and optimistic manga! I only gave it 4 stars because I struggled quite a bit to keep up with this one, which took away from the fun of it. Perhaps, it's because it's the very first volume? But it felt like it was all over the place! There was a lot of dramatic and quick movements at the beginning which got a little confusing! It could also simply be from my minimal experience reading manga! Nonetheless, I still very much enjoyed it. There is a strong "found family" theme and the reo...

i think i’m getting used to the art style now

While I enjoyed this book, and the artwork was adorable there was something that I just didn't like. The entire plot seem very messy and half of the time I had trouble understanding what was actually meant to be going on. There was no character development and the scenes jumped around continuously, so it was difficult to figure out where the story was going.I actually felt like I jumped into the middle of a series,it was THAT confusing. There was no excitement, no action and really it ended up b...

1.5 StarsThis was a boring, hot mess. I never read this as a kid and I definitely haven't watched the anime, but I heard that this was really good from a lot of people. I'm so let down.None of the characters were named or fleshed out, the plot is nonexistent, there's absolutely no emotion to this, and the scenes skip around so much that I could never tell where we were or what was happening. It genuinely felt like I'd just skipped to the fifth book of a series because I had no idea what was supp...

This really was an adorable book! I hadn't read manga before this one, and I only picked this up based on some of my friends' reviews with no expectations. But it really didn't disappoint! I fell in love with the characters and the story from the beginning. -There's Tohru, who is very cute, but also awkward with a lot of things, and that resulted into some very hilarious moments. And if there are guys like Kyo and Yuki, I don't need anything else! -There's a secret of Sohma family, in which the ...

Initial thoughts:

1. I felt so nostalgic reading this manga again!
2. Toru is such an adorable, although naive, character. Love her!
3. Shigure and also Hanajima and Uotani are hilarious!
4. The fights between Yuki and Kyo seem to never end.
5. Amazing artwork!

Total impulse read! 4.5

I really just felt like continuing this story! I watched the anime about 5 years ago now, and the ending is still bothering me, and I just need to know what is going to happen next!

Cute, funny, typical rom com anime/manga. However, I hear it gets darker, which should be interesting.

Fruits Basket is probably my very favorite manga that I have read to date. Now, I wholeheartedly admit that the premise is weird and unlikely, but, hey, it's fantasy. Anyway, if you can get past the initial outlandishness, you discover a story full of heart and darkness. This is my fourth or fifth time through the series, and I just love it more every time.Having read through a few reviews on Goodreads, I know that this series, and the character of Tohru especially, gets a lot of flak for being ...

I just have one thing to say;

I LOVE this series. It's really cute! This was one of the first manga series I've read. I own a few of them. As always, I won't add all of the books to my self. Way too many.
