Complete manga? Even though it's not finished yet? The last chapter goes on sale November 20th in Japan.

Myself, I'm holding out for the tankoubon before reading it; hopefully I won't get spoiled for the last two or three volumes, like I did about the enormous Akito twist.

Its the e-book versions. They said it was the full manga. If not I'll just purchase the ones that get released.

The anime ie very good yes, especially the penultimate episode which is just heart-wrenching at its conclusion. But the manga is far superior, and takes the story much longer. I just wish it would come out more quickly over here.

Love Kyo and Hatori especially, and the student council in the recent volumes are a real hoot.

Fantastic series. I'm only familiar with the anime, since the manga's too expensive in my region, but the story and characters are great. I'll have to agree with everyone who admires Kyo; at first I was kind of surprised to find him becoming my favourite character. Drum solo!

The manga is love <3 Though all the characters are really screwed up.

I can't wait to see the unfolding of the future events :D 'Specially since I kinda sorta cheated and wiki'd the series...

I love this series as well. Though the Trio are my favorites I still love Shigure the best (probably cause we share the same signs;) ) Although every time I mention this to anyone who has read most of the manga, I get evil stares...:cry:

Please don't hate the dog...

... :D 'Specially since I kinda sorta cheated and wiki'd the series...Me too, I was kinda struck by the developments that take place in the manga... just makes me hope all the more that there'll be a second anime series after the manga's run its course.

Yeah, I found it interesting how Natsuki Takaya was talking of shortening Fruits Basket to FB, "Like Final Fantasy!"

But Furuba sounds cooler in my opinion :cool:

This anime is about people that will turn into animals right?

I remember watching the anime but I missed the last episode. :(

One of my friends let me borrow his DVD and I fell in love with it :love:

Now I hear that it's going to be a loooooooooooooooooong time before the next season comes.

I couldn't stop laughing at the episode where Toru invites her friends over.

Well it is on the face of it a series about people that turn into animals but to be honest that concept is not used that much beyond the introduction to characters (when you see what animal they are), and in the manga it doesn't really happen all that often. It's really much more than that.

And yeah, the episode where Tohru invites her friends around is pure hilarity - also one of the few times (apart from the last two episodes and the introducing Hiro and Ritsu before they turn up in the manga) where the anime deviates from the manga to a large extent.

Don't worry I realize there is "More to it than that" (like most shows I like) but as that's what the asked I answered,

It's still a brilliant show though.
