[Manga Review] Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya

Hello everybody!

Today, as promised, a bit of Japanese air. One of my favorite manga is the graphic artist Natsuki Takaya: Fruits Basket. You know, perhaps, that in China are signs of the zodiac instead of star signs. For each year there is a different animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Where an old legend is based, without being told in this manga. can complete

Content:
The girl loses Toru her mother in a car accident. Her father is moved shortly after her birth. Since her grandfather she would not be a burden, Toru Honda moves into a tent. There she is discovered by her classmate Yuki Soma.
Yuki, Shigure and Kyo live in a small cottage in the forest and Toru invite you to live with him. You are sorry the girl, in return, it takes the household: cooking, washing, dressing. The mystery of the soma is safe with Toru.
Thirteen of the soma that is transformed into one of the 13 zodiac signs. 13? Well, according to legend, God held a great feast and invited his friends, the animals. The rat named the cat but the wrong time, whereupon the cat came too late for a party and was not allowed to participate.
This transformation occurs only when an interested party is embraced by the opposite sex. Her secret is kept strictly secret and therefore affected the soma seem partially inaccessible. Many have problems with their parents because the children see as a monster, the mother can not hug their sons, because otherwise they would be transformed into an animal of the zodiac.
The head of the family, God provides, Akito Soma dar. He is irascible and indulge his "subordinates" not a piece of luck. Bad is it for him to see how to win the somewhat naive but good-hearted Toru Honda, the soma is slow for them torus on very special way to help and gives them a little happiness and hope. This is exactly Akitos worst fear: being left alone to lose his "friends" and can not control them.

Natsuki Takaya tells the story of Toru, Yuki, Shigure, Akito, Kyo Soma and the other very emotional, sometimes almost philosophical. The drawing style matures with each band and we see clear progress. The story is developing, much time can be about the characters enough depth to give.
The aspect of the legend of the Zodiac and the transformation of people in just such is the only amazing aspect of the series. Rather, it consists of interpersonal relationships together. From the past, present and future of all the protagonists. You get to know better, love, yes, maybe even hate. But here is deceptive sometimes the first glance like a puzzle to put the pieces together slowly.
sometimes brings the history of the cursed Somas something in the background to make room for another story from the life of the protagonists. You follow Toru on their hard road to find themselves and in their attempt to free the soma of her curse, turning to hug with the other gender in animals.

short, a very touching story, all aspects of life includes - with a bit of mystery and legend!
