Fruits Basket is by far the greatest manga I have read and will ever read. It tops both my manga and anime experiences. So far, I have read 22 out of the 23 volumes, but I can say that it is my favorite with no doubt in my mind. The story is truly a Romantic Dramedy, a love story with extreme drama splitting it apart, but with comic relief intertwined within the pages.

The story blew me away with it's deep emotions and feelings. It is the kind of story that makes you experience a ray of emotions, but in the end you still enjoy ... it. It is only enhanced with the wonderful art, that really helps your own emotions come out as you picture the emotions in the eyes of each character. It is a wonderful ride as the volumes increase, and the characters both look and act older. The details become even more exciting as you think about how the characters have changed from the first volume to the last.

Fruits Basket is not just another manga you should read on the computer. Since I received the first volume, my goal has been to own them all. It is a very deep story that keeps you on your toes, and is even something that you can incorporate into your own thinking process and life. All of the characters have their own unique look, personality, back story, and dynamic changes that make it that much more enjoyable. Over the course of reading, I've laughed, cried, blushed, felt angry, overjoyed, and a rainbow of other emotions. I am proud to say that volumes 1-22 are sitting upon my shelf while my other owned manga stays hidden away in another area. Soon, 23 will be up there to complete my collection. Fruits Basket is amazing, and recommended for anyone who enjoys a dynamic story filled with ups and downs, but mainly ups. Once I finish the series, Fruits Basket will definitely be a manga that I reread, and be one that I pull off my shelf to read as my release.
