Fruits Basket, Vol. 1 by Natsuki Takaya
4.0
It's been such a long time since I last read this series (and watched it), and you bet I'm excited about the remake, especially after rereading this first volume.
While the art hasn't kept up at 100%, it's still visually appealing. The characters are all humorous and complex in their own ways (well, our mains so far, which is the important part). While Tohru is a little too optimistic for my tastes, it's also very refreshing. Her mother is such a wonderful person who gave her so much wisdom and unknowingly, she is healing and helping everyone around her and even educating readers, imparting words of love. Reading this series now that I'm older is also very interesting. There are certain dynamics between Kyo and Yuki that are ironic and sad, and the gender expectations jump out at me a bit more.
Really excited to keep reading this!
