The enigmatic Sohma family shares a great secret, its members are possessed by spirits of the Chinese Zodiac, and when they are hugged by members of the opposite sex, they transform into their Zodiac animal! Tohru Honda, an orphaned high school freshman, is given lodging in the Sohma household in exchange for taking care of household chores. The humble Tohru is quite grateful for the Sohma family's generosity, and the longer she stays with them, the more they realize what a blessing she is in their lives, as well.
Fruits Basket, sometimes called Furuba, is a manga by Takaya Natsuki. There are a total of 136 chapters. This is a very popular manga, with a huge fan base. This is actually the very first manga I read, after falling in love with the anime. The manga has great art, and a wonderful story. The characters are funny, loving, and each one very unique. The anime is fairly easy to find, and is 26 episodes long. It has a wonderful soundtrack and good story and art. The anime only goes through part of the manga, ending at around volume 8. Though there are small details that are left out of the anime, and the last volume in particular has some information that may be missed if skipped completely. The story continues on with great plots, twists, and a wonderfully happy ending for everybody. This is a highly suggested manga if you like shojou or romantic comedy stories.
