Why is this manga REALLY REALLY similar to Fruits Basket? Did it copy Fruits Basket? That's the downside to it, the fact that it is way TOO similar. The three guys part, the personalities, and also theres this part where one of the guys have to dress up in a girl's outfit, that's the same in Fruits Basket too! I really wanna know whether Iyo Takarada copied Natsuki Takaya or not. We can't say that Takaya copied Takarada because Fruits Basket was published before 2004.
The people that are similar to Fruits Basket are like this:
Yuzuki= Kyo (the temper is similar, but it was Yuki who
...
was dressed up in the dress in FB)
Sanai= Shigure (the pervertedness)
Shuuichi= Yuki (the calmness)
Of course, there's no curse in this one, and the ages are different, but i find the personalities and events are the same. Also with the main girl protagonist with no parents. There has to be slight difference and a storyline so they make it that the dad is still alive.
I still think the art is quite nice. The story loses points because I find it too alike to Fruits Basket, which is one of my favourite manga/anime and I definitely would not like a repeat of it, no matter how much better. It would just seem like plagiarism, manga-style.
