This is the first manga that I think is worthy enough for me to leave a review. Although I like most romance manga, I am pretty strict when it comes to whether the title contains high quality content or not. Fruits Basket is the most beautiful and inspirational manga I have ever read. Even though it is a shoujo manga targeted at young girls, the deep content makes it readable for everyone. The manga starts off slowly and innocently but as it goes on it becomes deeper with dark themes of psychological and physical abuse, abandonment, and the real darkness that goes with the curse that at first seems not so bad. It shows you that the flaws and wrongdoings of humans, although inexcusable, are not without a reason, purpose, or cause and that everyone deserves another chance. Torhu is a character that I think everyone will come to like and even aspire to be even though she is a fictional character. With detail, the background of the suffering each character has gone through is told and how they overcame the darkness surrounding them. I don't think there will ever be a manga written as beautifully as this one. If you are looking for a manga that contains solid romance, serious drama, and something that will make you want to change as a person, Fruits Basket is for you.
