Tohru Honda a kind hearted, orphaned, high school student who use to live in a tent in the woods. She loves to cook and describes herself as an excellent housekeeper. She also has an after school job as a janitor to pay for her tuition fees to avoid being a burden on her grandfather.
Kyo Sohma is cursed by the cat, an animal not in the Chinese Zodiac but some legands say that the cat would have been included if the rat didn't trick, but really did, the cat to not go to this party. He has orange hair, he has anger issues and is charismatic, if initally awkward around people.
Yuki Sohma is the rat of the Chinese Zodiac. Yuki is attractive, reserved, and accomplish man with many admires. He has low self-esteem. He is also known as "Prince Yuki" and "Prince Charming" at school where he has a fan club run by Motoko Minagawa that tries to "Protect" him which makes him feel isolated. He is presured with his popularity to become president of the student council despite his missgivings.
Overall I think fruits Basket is rated 3 and a half stars but it is my opinion on this. BTW SPOILER ALERT: In the end of Fruits Bascket I cried because Momiji Sohma had a sad childhood and I think you would like this series if you enjoy the plot to it. My next review will be posted up soon. Keep you all up-to-dated on everything anime related. Peace!
