Fruits Basket: The Complete Collection by Natsuki Takaya

4.0

On a whim I decided to reread Fruits Basket, a manga I had enjoyed as a teenager. I was pleased to find it held up well; like many YA series that follow their characters as they grow, the early books were fairly juvenile (appropriate for 12+ readers) while the later volumes were a bit more complex and sometimes even dark. After reading the series (at 30 years old it took less than a week) I watched the 2019 series and found it remained very true to the source material. It made my inner teenager very happy to watch a faithful adaptation after rereading the series!
