I loved Fruits Basket when I first watched it, and then my friend told me about the manga. The manga is perfect for any fan of the anime since it tidies everything up and creates a satisfying end for a great show!
The story was great, although at certain times it felt like there was too much going on at once, which made it slightly confusing. But the story was truly accented by the characters themselves, once I stated reading I couldn't stop and I read for eight hours straight because the characters drew me in so much. The relationships within the manga were written extremely well and I felt like any one of the characters could be a real person (well without the curse of course).
The art was a bit confusing at times because some characters looked similar which left me wondering who was talking at sometimes but it certainly didn't detract much from the story.
Overall, I loved this manga and I'm glad that it was the first I read,; it's perfect for fans of the anime or for anyone looking for a wonderful story with awesome characters. I rated it a nine instead of a ten due to the slight problems I had with the story and the art but it is a manga that is worth the read!
