Fruits Basket - Anime

Fruits basket is a story about a curse of the chinese zodiac. The Sohma family has for generations been living with the curse; when a member is born under the curse he or she turns into one of the animals of the zodiac when hugged by a person of the opposite sex. This causes social problems and leaves many of the cursed in a fragile and dark mental state.

Tohru Honda is a sweet girl who manages to smile and help people even though she is without any family. In the midst of her personal despair she suddenly finds herself an adopted part of the Sohma family and tries to understand them and help them. Although many of the Sohma are nice to Tohru, the curse is not something easy to deal with as scars and mystery shroud them.

A wonderful 2001 anime that has a series of great characters and storyline. Although taken from the Manga, the Anime finishes quite a way before the comic but luckily that does not affect the storyline or leave you wondering. A must see classic!
