Hi! smile After being persuaded by several of my friends, I began reading my first manga ever; Fruits Basket! It's still hard to remember right to left instead of left to right, but I'm learning! smile I'm on book 11 (Hiro I think...) and loving it so far. heart I really enjoy all the characters along with the twists and turns in the story. smile I can't wait to discuss my favorite characters and moments in the story with my fellow elves!

YAY!!! *GLOMPS* ANOTHER FRUITS BASKET FAN!!! ^-^ I absolutely love Fruits Basket. I began reading it a few years ago, and it was also my first manga. I now own 1-16...and have read the whole series. The last couple books aren't out in america yet, but you can read them for free, and with no downloads on, mangafox.com

Hmm, your on 11? That's a good spot. The next few books are going to hold a lot of surprises. Wait till you get to #17, you'll be in for a HUGE surprise. ^-^

Definitely one of the best manga series out there! razz Shigure is my fave character, but I also love Haru and Ayame. I'd like to use Yuki for my own evil purposes because he's so sexy. wink

*fangirl squeel* OMG!!!! *dies then comes back from the dead* FRUITS BASKET!!!!!!!!!! *hisses in a possessive fangirl manner* MY YUKI!!!!! *coughs* ahem. excuse me. I love the series, if you can't tell. I have also finished it, via mangafox.com. Thank you internet.... I own the first four books in french 4laugh I bought them when I was in Paris. And I have downloaded a good number of the episodes to my computer, though my collection is not complete. And I think they seriously fisked up the anime, though I suppose it works well enough.

So far, everyone thats voted loves Fruits Basket! Yaay!!!
To those of you who have seen the show, what do you think? Do you reccomend watching?

Emira ~ lol I'm guessing your a big fan too. smile oo! Paris? I've always wanted to go! Whats it like? smile lol and I guess its safe to assume that you're a Yuki fan. smile You finished? Were you happy with the ending? (Don't spoil please!)

Minerva ~ I love Shigure too! Hes so smexy and makes me giggle. smile Haruuu!!!! I envy how calm Haru is... and Ayame is just interesting and funny in general. smile

Aristaline ~ Thanks for the tip on mangafox.com! Really?!? Surprises?!? I can't wait!!!! I almost ran and got #17 after i read your comment, but i had to hold myself back. XD Which Character is your favorite?


Just some things I think...

I love when Ritsu went to visit Shigure and said "I wanted to bring you fruit, but I didn't know what kind you like, so I brought you books about fruit!"

I always feel so sorry for Yuki and his past along with Kyo.

KYO?!? WHERE?!? HE IS MINE!!!! Sorry, that was a little out of hand there. I haven't read the manga, but I have seen the show. I have to say I LOVE the show!!! I love the way Ayame is to Yuki. 'I am your older brother, and I order you to respect me!!' He is just soo funny!!! I also think that Kyo and Yuki fighting is really funny. 'Stupid rat.' 'Damn rat.' They're all pretty funny to be honest. I should watch it soon. Maybe I will this weekend.

The last four episodes of the anime are terrible because they tried to end the series before the manga was even complete. I think there's more episodes in Japanese. The rest of the anime is great. biggrin

Well if you ask me if they don't end the right way in the show its okay because they didn't end the maga so there!!:d

Hello Fruits Basket Fans!!!!

Chief Lover of Animals~
lol I love Kyo too! smile I almost cried while reading #11... Kyo crying tugs on my heart strings sad You MUST read the manga! Its amazing!!! razz lol Me too. smile Everything Aayame says makes me 4laugh laugh.

Chief Blackfoot (wow we have a lot of chiefs! ) ~
Well then your kids have great taste. smile lol Its a very addictive series smile

Minerva~
Oh, yeah! I remember you telling me that.... sad I think that is a stupid desicion... why would you try to make up an ending when the manga isn't complete?!? Do those people have a death wish?!? They have many, many fan girls to answer to!!! Alright, I'll try to watch some of the series. Both you and Chief Lover of Animals speak highly of it. smile

Mistress of Kitty Cats~
Although I respect your opinion, I must side with Minerva's statement. I don't think its acceptable to end the show wrongly.
But other than that, it sounds like the show is great! ^^ I plan on watching! smile

(I had a little fun with the colors this time. smile I just now discovered all the cool stuff this can do!!!!! )

Nya! I'm so glad Tabby & I got you into fruits basket Minerva >w< can you imagine a day going by without one of my bad fruits basket puns?
PostPosted: Mon Jan 12, 2009 4:31 pm


Bruki :: Yes. I am a super fangirl!! 3nodding There was so much more to do in Paris than in London. I truly liked it better. It's beautiful.
Yes. Yuki fan. I have a Yuki hat. whee I prefered the manga ending. The anime was confusing and very stupid, but i suppose it worked. I'll give them a little leeway.

Chief Lover_of_Animals :: You can have Kyo. Yuki is mine. *hisses possessively* Yuki and Ayame's relationship is absolutely hilarious. I just hate Aya's voice actor. Thinking about it now, i hate most of their voices. I think they did a horrid job selecting them.

Minerva the Bookwyrm :: I sooooooooooooo agree with you. The last four episode's sucked.

I love the series and I've read all twenty-two volumes, plus the twenty-third one chapter Epilogue I guess it could be called.
I have to say, I really did love the series after my friend introduced me to it. The ending was the best, even though I read them online, it was just as good but a little harder to read with a few spelling and grammatical errors every now and then.
For my couples, my favorite couple out of the whole series, has to be Hatsuharu x Kyo.
YES I CLAIM KYO AND HARU SO BACK -hisses and snatches the two away locking them in a closet-
You may be saying "eww guy love" or whatever, but like I mentioned before, I am bisexual, plus I think they make the cutest couple. For my favorite Hetero couple, of course it's going to be Kyo x Tohru, especially the last few volumes in the manga. It was so cute how they slowly fell in love, plus all the funny things they did through out manga. Like in Volume fifteen when they had the School Play "Cinderella" at the Cultural Festival, I laughed When Kyo had to be Prince Charming, but I won't spoil it for anyone else who hasn't finished the series or who hasn't gotten that far.
I also loved in Volume twenty-one I think it was, Tohru and Kyo's first kiss! It was quite adorable.
For my favorite Character, I would definitely have to say Momiji or Shigure. I guess because I'm like both of them a lot. I can be a mega pervert at times, I read kinky stories when I'm bored, and I like to embarrass and tease my friends. I can also be like Momiji because I'm hyper, I adore cute things and I can also be loud and obnoxious... Well that's Momiji before volume twenty. Why'd he have to -covers mouth with hands- Sorry Sorry, forgot, no spoiling.
Well I better end my post here before I actually Do spoil it for you all who haven't gotten that far.

Also: I just noticed... it think I'm one of the only guys here D:
Well at least I haven't seen any others and YES I'm a guy, it just hard to tell 'cause of my cross-dressing avi xP

Nothing much to say except.... blaugh heart YAAAY FRUITS BASKET!!!!! heart blaugh

Emira ~
lol Me too! Really?! I would've thought It'd be the other way around! smile I bet it is.... I'll visit someday. smile Did you see the Eiffel Tower?!
lol Yaay for the Yuki hat! XD
Yeah, I've heard from a few people that the ending to the show didn't really work. I can't say much about it, seeing as I've never watched it, but I'll take your word for it. smile How was the rest of the show? Have you read the manga?

Psychotic Happiness ~
I'm still only on the 14th, but I'm loving its so far! smile Haru and Kyo...that would be interesting. XD
*NOOOOOOO!!!! HARUUU!!!!! HARU AND KYO ARE MY FAVORITES!!!!! I CALLED THEM FIRST! SO THERE!* XP lol sorry bout that. smile
Kyo and Tohru are perfect for one another. smile She really is the one who excepts him most...well other than his "dad" maybe...
Kyo? Prince Charming? Isn't it practically the LAW at that school that Yuki play that part?! Hm... that'll be a fun one to read. smile
Ahhh!!! Momiji!!! What happens!?! Wait! DON'T tell me!!! Wait! DO! No don't!!! Is he okay?! sweatdrop
Oh, and your avi is awesome.
