　　Fruits Basket (フルーツバスケット, Furūtsu Basuketto?) is a shōjo manga series created by Natsuki Takaya (pseudonym) serialized in the semi-monthly Japanese Hana to Yume (Flowers and Dreams) magazine, which is published by Hakusensha. It won the 2001 Kodansha Manga Award for shōjo. Fruits Basket has also been adapted into a 26-episode anime series, directed by Akitaro Daichi, on TV Tokyo. The word "Fruits" in the title is always plural, and this apparent misspelling most likely originates from the name of a popular game in Japanese junior school, which has the same misspelling.

　　Story

　　Fruits Basket follows the life of the student Tohru Honda, recently orphaned when her mother, Kyoko Honda, was killed in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when remodeling is needed on the house, Tohru resorts to living in a tent and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains her optimistic self.

　　One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that she is temporarily living in which is the home of Shigure Sohma, Kyo Sohma, and Yuki Sohma,of the Sohma family. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her inner strength. The entire area is Sohma property, and Tohru pleads to live upon the property in her quaint tent (affectionately dubbed "her castle"). Feeling sorry for her, and desperate to end their days of filthy living conditions, the Sohmas offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. When her tent is buried that night in a landslide, burying her mother"s picture and school clothes, she has no option but to accept.

　　Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family"s secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private and secretive: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac ("Jyūnishi" in Japanese) and the spirit of the cat who was left out of the Zodiac according to legend. They transform into animals when hugged by the opposite gender, or when they are under a great amount of stress. When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not on the "Inside" of the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.

　　The story follows the lives of Tohru and the Sohma family, as they deal with each other and a society where neither quite fits in, as well as the feared Akito Sohma, head of the Sohma family.

　　Tohru Honda (本田 透, Honda Tōru?) Voiced by: Yui Horie (Japanese), Laura Bailey (voice actress) (English)
　　An orphaned high school student, Tohru ends up living in the same house with Shigure, Yuki and Kyo Sohma. She loves to cook, is an excellent housekeeper, and has an after school job as a custodian to help pay her tuition fees (since she doesn"t want to be a burden on her grandfather). She is always polite, and is extremely kind, loving, and naive; in fact, the other characters sometimes have to tell her that she needs to look out for her own interests. She wishes to break the curse that engulfs the family.

　　Yuki Sohma (草摩由希, Sōma Yuki?) Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (Japanese), Eric Vale (English)
　　Yuki is the rat of the zodiac. Known as "Prince Yuki" at school, Yuki is very attractive and refined, and has many admirers at school, but has a hard time being social. He wishes that he could be with people as friends, rather than admired and worshiped from afar, no thanks to his infamous fan club. Yuki has suffered a traumatic childhood at the hands of Akito, the head of the Sohma clan, who locked him up and tortured him. Because of this, Yuki has a somewhat low sense of worth and is claustrophobic. With Tohru"s help, however, Yuki is gradually able to loosen up. He is jealous of Kyo because he thinks Kyo can have a normal life, which is something Yuki has always wanted. He is often considered "absolutely the most adorable little mouse in the world" when he is crying in the manga.

　　Kyo Sohma (草摩夹, Sōma Kyō?) Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (Japanese), Jerry Jewell (English)
　　Kyo is the cat, an animal not in the zodiac, but which legend says would have been if it had not been tricked by the rat into missing the induction feast. Kyo hates Yuki and is determined to defeat him before high school ends. After the alleged suicide of his mother, and abandonment of his father, Kyo has hated Yuki for everything wrong with his life. He made a bet with Akito: if he defeats Yuki before he finishes high school, he"ll officially be accepted along with the other Jyuunishi by the Sohmas. If he does not, however, Kyo would be forced to live "inside", within the Sohma estate for the rest of his life, which means being locked up in a cage made specially for the cat Jyuunishi. Despite many months of strict training, Kyo has never managed to even land a decent blow on Yuki. Kyo runs away even from the people that want to help him, because he is ashamed of his true form, which he turns into when his rosary bead bracelet made from the bones of a miko (the red ones are blood stained) is removed. When Tohru sees his true form, however, she still accepts him and begs him to stay with her, which forms a bond of sorts between the two. He wants to be appreciated and be special like Yuki. Orange is his natural hair color; a fact proven by Haru. Tohru"s favorite zodiac animal was the cat as a child.

　　Meaning of the title

　　The phrase "fruits basket" means simply a basket of fruit in Japan. In Japan, where arable land is in short supply and fresh food very expensive, a basket of fresh fruit is a costly and desirable item. It is written in Japanese as フルーツバスケット, fu-ru-u-tsu ba-su-ke-t-to, where the "tsu" kana represents the "ts" in "fruits", making it plural.

　　The series is named after a children"s game, Fruits Basket, in which everyone sits in a circle, and the leader of the game names each person after a type of fruit; when the name of a child"s fruit is called, that child gets up and swaps positions with others with the same name. When Tohru first played this game in kindergarten, she was assigned "Onigiri" (rice ball), which was fine with her, since she always thought that onigiris are delicious. However, everyone but her was called, and she was the only one left sitting when she realized that an onigiri isn"t a fruit and that she"d never be called. She was purposefully excluded from the game; another of the mean tricks that other kids used to pull on her. She realizes that an onigiri can never belong in a Fruits Basket. Then Tohru starts feeling like she belongs in the Sohma clan. There is one part where onigiri is called and she runs up to play with her classmates. It means she starts feeling like she isn"t the onigiri that is left out, but somebody that actually has a place where she belongs, hence the name Fruits Basket.

　　During the course of the story, lines spoken by members of the Sohma clan are often illustrated by a super deformed (SD) head of the corresponding animal: for example, when Yuki speaks from off-screen a small rat head might appear, and when Kyo snaps in reply there might be an angry cat face. Uotani and Hanajima"s SD heads are based off of their names and are a fish and a flower, respectively (although at the beginning of the manga, before the Sohma curse was revealed, Shigure and Yuki"s SD were shown as the first letter of their names enclosed in a circle). As the series goes on, Tohru"s comments are illustrated in the same way with an animated onigiri, illustrating that although Tohru might have been rejected by classmates at school, she has found a place she can belong with the Sohmas.

　　Manga

　　Fruits Basket has finished its run in Japan; chapter 136, the final chapter, was published on November 20, 2006.

　　The contents of the manga Fruits Basket is much more detailed than the anime series. Where the anime ends with volume 8, though little content is included, the manga continues to cover Kyo, Yuki and Tohru"s relationships, the student council and other things happening inside the Sohma family, including Akito and Kureno"s secrets. In addition, several notable main characters are only present in the manga.

　　As of March 19th, Fruits Basket has been completely published in Japan with a total of twenty-three volumes.[1] In 2003, the manga was licensed for United States distribution by TOKYOPOP after it topped a poll of requested manga on their website. The first translated volume was released in February, 2004. In Singapore, an English translation is adapted by Chuang Yi, and the Singaporean translation is imported to Australia and New Zealand by Madman Entertainment. The TOKYOPOP addition of Fruits basket is at volume 16--as of April 2007. Meanwhile, in Europe, the French translation of the manga is available up to volume twenty-one, as of April 2007. In Mexico, there is a Spanish version by Editorial Vid. In Brazil, the Portuguese translation is published by Editora JBC since April, 2005. A runaway hit by volume five in the U.S, it had taken the title of "Best Selling Shōjo Manga in 2004." [2]

　　Anime

　　The Fruits Basket anime is a 26-episode series adapted from the manga by Akitaro Daichi. It aired on the TV Tokyo network from July 5, 2001 to December 27, 2001, at 18:00 on Thursdays. As of March 2007 it airs as part of the FUNimation programming block on CoLours TV. The beginning and ending songs are "For Fruits Basket" and "Chiisana Inori" (Little Prayer), both sung by the late Ritsuko Okazaki.

　　The anime series follows the manga up to approximately the end of volume 8 of the manga. Characters from volumes 7 and 8 are shown within the 26 episodes. Also, many situations within the anime series are left unresolved because of lack of source material at the time.

　　Following the series release in North America by FUNimation, a grassroots effort has been mounted by the fan base to have a second season of the series produced in Japan. Funimation has had a sizable hand in this effort, organizing origami crane folding events at various anime conventions. These cranes were then sent to Japan as a form of petition for the production of a second season. At the beginning of 2006, however, Takaya and Daichi announced in two separate interviews that there will not be any more work on the anime for a number of reasons.[citation needed]
