I'm giving this 5 stars because I love this series. This is the best manga series I've ever read. I love all the characters. There were no parts that dragged. The ending was wonderful (I honestly didn't think everyone deserved a happy ending, but that's not the theme of this manga, so whatever).
I just have to say I didn't like this volume. Half of it was just filler.

Wow! One amazing journey. Fruits Basket was not a story that focused on three main characters but every character mattered. Everyone was connected to another. A story of healing, growth, self-discovery, and change (good change). I imagine myself to achieve something like this. The feeling of breaking the curse isn't just supernatural. It was much more. The curse was the pain, troubles, anxiety, and loneliness. But once the characters learned to break it they also understood that their efforts weren't vain.

Tohru Tohru Tohru! The heart of the story (the real God! well I assume). Everyone wants to be like her. Everyone loves her and yes I do understand because I wish to have someone like her in my life or well atleast any person (not like Tohru also works) who can help me grow and change for good

Kyo, Yuki, Machi, Momiji, Haru, Rin, Hatori, Mayuko, Ayame, Mine, Shigure, Akito, Kisa, Hiro, Kagura, Ritsu, Mitsuru, Kureno, Arisa, Hana-chan, Shisho san, Kakeru, Komaki, Momo, and well Ojiisan, Katsuya, and Kyoko (and maybe some others too)
so well saying these names is kinda fun so yeah why not

And yes Thank you Takaya San! Thank you!

Okay, not as good as volume 11 in my opinion but that was a great ending, nevertheless. If you read the collector's edition, there's a lot of extra stuff in the back of this one, which was kind of fun to see. I like that we see how all of the characters are moving forward with their lives, now that they have the freedom to do so.

I can definitely see why so many people enjoy this manga. It has a lot of great stuff going for it! You'll fall in love with the characters and be rooting for them from the very beginning.
