ijsselmeer13 's review for:

Fruits Basket, Vol. 1 by Natsuki Takaya
5.0

This is more of a rating for the entire manga series.

I gave it five stars because it has just the right combination of serious and funny parts. There are some moments where all you want to do is laugh, but then in other parts you'll be crying or about to start crying. it really is a beautiful balance, making Fruits Basket a really special story.

There are so many beautiful quotes that the characters say, teaching readers so many wonderful things to remember about life as we find our place.

I love all of the characters in their own quirks and ways, and it was so great to see them grow throughout the span of the manga series.
