5 Fruits Basket Manga Moments We Can't Wait to See Animated!

It’s finally here—the full-length Fruits Basket adaptation we’ve all dreamed about for 20 years! The 2001 anime is a nostalgic classic in its own right, but only gets as far as the 6th volume out of 23 before ending a bit anticlimactically. No storylines get resolved and some characters like Zodiac members Rin and Kureno as well as fan-favorite psychopath Ren don’t even get the chance to show up. But most importantly, the first anime doesn’t reach the point where Fruits Basket shifts from a high school comedy with a few sad backstories into the complex family drama that manga fans love so much.

So, to celebrate the release of Fruits Basket’s 2019 anime, we’re showcasing our five favorite manga moments that we can’t wait to see in glorious modern animation. When newcomers see these amazing scenes, they’ll finally understand what a captivating story Natsuki Takaya’s magnum opus truly is!
