I always felt the main character (Haine) was like Tohru, optimistic, clumsy, lovable, loyal. She always appeared happy and warm to her friends but she was facing an internal conflict. With her opitimism she cheers the Student Council. She also was an average student, but worked hard at after school jobs, dense. In the story she helps a boy who also faces family problems (no spoilers) and she turned his unhappy, dark ways, and made him see the light and he protected her. In my opinion he wasn't really a part of the family, like Kyo who was not a part of the Soma family (forgive me if I spell this wrong) because he was born the year of the Cat. Both men in my opinon have a temper, but lighten up after they meet that girl. Both the characters have family problems due to the family and the family system they are involved in. I read this and I thought "This is a lot like Fruits Basket!"
