For an older manga, it was still pretty charming.

3.5 ( )

3.5 stars isn’t an option so I rounded up. I was a little confused at the beginning of the story but I didn’t give up. I had a hard time telling which character was talking when and some transitions were difficult to follow or didn’t exist.

I finally figured it all out about 1/3 of the way in and found myself really enjoying the story. It’s a sweet story of an orphan girl who finds and makes friends with members of a family that have a curse upon them related to the zodiac creatures.

The artwork is beautiful and the story cute. ( )

I finally am doing it, kids. I’m reading the thing. Sorry it took me 15 years and almost a dozen people over the years saying, “you should read Fruits Basket!” to finally pick it up. ( )

I'm glad it's still funny to me. ( )

Really cute manga. My niece recommended this series to me, so I'm planning to keep reading so that I can discuss the series with her. ( )
