Fruits Basket

Complete | takaya natsuki | 1998 released

- i read it before up until when momiji first entered when I realized I prefer watching the anime - I read a bit after the s2 finale when I realized (again) I prefer the anime for more emotional impact of the music and narrative - would've been god tier if not for the questionable themes like sexism, pedophilic remarks, age gaps - the redemption arc is u needed - tohru is actually strong but sometimes the message they're trying to deliver is too naive - I love how gentle haru can be when he's serious. he's firm yet comforting at the same time - machi's dislike of order in contrast of yuki's life maintaining his high reputation
