Product ReviewsFruits Basket #1 (Tokyopop February 2004)

READ THIS SERIES

I recommend watching the anime first, because it's nothing compared to the books. Don't judge by the descriptions. "Oh...it's a nice story about these magical people who turn into animals.."

NO! This series is so much more than that! The fact that there is magic is pretty much on the back burner. The point of this series is the human emotions of each and every unique character. EVERYONE has inner demons to deal with. EVERYONE is flawed. This series deals with growing up, developing bonds, and dealing with pain and hardships. This is THE BEST book series I have ever read. You are doing yourself an injustice if you don't read these books.

What amazes me the most (other than the genuine emotions of all the characters) is that the characters GROW UP! Literally - they get taller, their faces and wardrobe change... It's so realistic! The characters become more than people in a book... they become realized. Takaya is amazing. She's so talented!

Great Find!

This is one of my favorite series of manga. It was pretty difficult finding volume 1 in a bookstore; it's difficult finding volume 1 for pretty much any manga at a bookstore now. I am very thankful to have come across this one. Thank you.Read full review...

Fantastic story!

It came in in great condition, I've watched the original anime so many times and now the new one, but the manga truly does tell a fascinating story. It's great for slice of life fans as well as rom com fans, but has a more compelling plot than those genres entail. Read full review...

Fruits Basket

I adore Fruits Basket. This is the most romantic story ever. I pretty much cried during each Chapter of the manga except those parts when you would see a new character. The ending is really good. The characters and story are amazing. Everyone should read fruits basket. It's a good lesson on life, and friendship, being strong, and just beliving in ureself. Great for kids or adults. I love this manga!!!!!! : )Read full review...

Bought it as a gift for my sister and she loves it. she has read the book 3 times. any book she reads more then once has got to be real good.

Fruits Basket 1-12

Thought these were novels. These are comic books. Nice pictures. I bought this for my kid. I wouldn't buy anymore, because these are comic books. My kid is hooked & begs me to buy the rest of the series each day.Read full review...
