A review by glomdi
Fruits Basket, Vol. 2 by Natsuki Takaya

1.0

I have no idea how, but this was even worse than the first volume! Thirty pages into it I almost put it down, but I forced myself to finish it, and let me tell you, I'm sorry that I even picked it up. The writing is so atrocious I don't even know how anyone likes this. The characters are all annoying except for the cat, who's only fun because he's the only character that I don't feel like choking with a fork. Rather, I think he wants to choke everyone in this manga with a fork, which is the reason I like him.

When I finished the first volume, I hated it. But I thought maybe it got better. Sometimes it only gets good after a few books. I had up to volume 6 on my to-read list. After this, I'm taking them all off. There is no way I can stomach more of this.

The idea is fun, however, it's executed very badly. The whole hugging thing is just stupid. What a dumb way for them to change. It would be sooooooo much cooler if they were just shape-shifters.
