☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume launches the beloved manga series Fruits Basket, introducing Tohru Honda, a kind-hearted orphan who ends up living with the enigmatic Sohma family. She soon discovers their secret: members of the Sohma clan are cursed to transform into animals from the Chinese zodiac when embraced by the opposite sex. Natsuki Takaya's story blends comedy, romance, and emotional depth as Tohru's presence begins to affect the family's dynamics.
This 2004 Tokyopop edition of Fruits Basket #1 opens with a playful "Omake Theater 1: Life in the Sohma Household, pre-Tohru," a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Sohma family’s daily antics, presented as a mock interview with the voice actress for the anime’s main character. The story, rendered in Natsuki Takaya’s signature style, features her as both cover artist and interior creator, with lettering done in typeset form, offering a charming, lighthearted look at the household’s quirks before Tohru arrives.
