fruits basket has been around since I was about 6 years old. and now, I'm 15. but still, everytime I read the manga or watch the anime, i still feel that it is refreshing and it has been my favorite ever since because of the interesting characters (especially Kyo!!!) and the cute and inspiring plotline which ensures a happy ending for everyone. Ive already read the manga more than 50 times and saw the anime a lot of times too. It is very unrealistic, that's why i love it so much. and I think it would never be replaced because it is so unique and there's no anime like it!
