Because the manga is nothing like the anime. It’s almost a completely different story and, in my opinion, a much better (and more sensible) one.
I was introduced to the anime first, and I wasn’t that fond of it. It was okay, I thought.
But when I read it, that’s when I truly loved the series - and found more characters to love (or hate) also, as many of them don’t appear in the anime, which was (abruptly) finished before the completion of the manga and, thus, left out several critical reveals, background information about even the included characters.
also the older version anime of fruit basket missed out lots of information, scenes, and characters unlike the newer version of the anime, they did add those scenes but still reading the manga is much better because it includes everything.
so I recommend reading the manga then you can enjoy watching the anime.

Hi guys! I want to ask the people who read and watch fruit basket, should I read the manga before the anime or should I read it after finishing the anime? Because I am so curious and hype about the story that is currently in the anime (ep8), and you know it takes a long time to have 1 episode. So I am wondering should I just read the manga?
