I don't even know where to begin about this amazing manga. I might be a little bias about how good it is simply because it was the manga that started my addiction. But I can back up why it is one of my favorites. Fruits Basket while chalked full of cliches is an endearing story that just touches your heart. You fall in love with all of the characters even the ones whom you hated at first. At first the naivety of Tohru might grind on your last nerve but over time she grows on you and you really support her through all of the trials that she has to go through. My favorite character by far is Kou, he just pulls on my heartstrings and I always wanted to gather him up and sooth all though worries and frustrations away. I honestly could go on and on and give several very detail lists about why you should read this manga but that would take up too much time, so I'll just end this with review say that I highly recommend this manga!
