3.0

I don't know how I'm feeling about this series right now. I think that Takaya is very good at crafting individual emotional scenes that really tug on your heartstrings, but I think a lot of the outside circumstances of this series make it less charming than the original Fruits Basket. The age gap between Shiki and Sawa, while not explicitly romantic feels a bit weird. I definitely don't feel as connected to these characters.

ALSO if my friends told me they only became friends with me in order to heal someone else's emotional issues I would be pissed. It seems like it should have set Sawa back. <spoilers>
