{{Nihongo|'''''Fruits Basket'''''|フルーツバスケット|Furūtsu Basuketto|lead=yes}}, sometimes abbreviated {{nihongo|'''''Furuba''''' or '''''Fruba'''''|フルバ}}, is a Japanese [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Natsuki Takaya]]. It was serialized in the semi-monthly Japanese {{transliteration|ja|[[shōjo manga|shōjo]]}} manga magazine {{transliteration|ja|[[Hana to Yume]]}}, published by [[Hakusensha]], from 1998 to 2006. The series' title comes from the name of [[Fruit Basket Turnover|a popular game]] played in Japanese elementary schools, which is alluded to in the series.

''Fruits Basket'' tells the story of [[Tohru Honda]], an orphan girl who, after meeting Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Sohma, learns that 13 members of the Sohma family are possessed by the animals of the [[Chinese zodiac]] and are cursed to turn into their animal forms when they are weak, stressed, or when they are embraced by anyone of the opposite gender who is not possessed by a spirit of the zodiac. As the series progresses, Tohru learns of the hardships and pain faced by the afflicted members of the Sohma family, and through her own generous and loving nature, helps heal their emotional wounds. As she learns more about Yuki, Kyo, and the rest of the mysterious Sohma family, Tohru also learns more about herself and how much others care for her.

Takaya began a sequel titled ''[[Fruits Basket Another]]'' in September 2015, and the [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] series ''The Three Musketeers Arc'' in April 2019. The original manga was first adapted into a 26-episode [[anime]] television series in 2001, produced by [[Studio Deen]] and directed by [[Akitaro Daichi]]. A second anime television series adaptation, by [[TMS Entertainment]] and directed by Yoshihide Ibata, premiered from April 2019, with its first season airing from April to September 2019, its second season airing from April to September 2020, and its third and final season airing from April to June 2021. The reboot anime series was initially a co-production of [[Funimation]], who released the series through a partnership with [[Crunchyroll]], although the series would later be completely moved under the latter. A compilation film titled ''[[Fruits Basket: Prelude]]'' premiered theatrically in Japan in February 2022, and was released theatrically in the United States and Canada in June 2022 and in the United Kingdom in July 2022.

By December 2018, the manga had over 30 million copies in circulation, making it one of the [[List of best-selling manga|best-selling manga series]], as well as one of the best-selling ''[[shōjo manga]]'' series of all time. It has been described in academic works as "a classic fan favorite in shoujo manga around the world".<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Arivett|first=Erika|date=April 2022|title=Year of the Cat: Abuse, Healing, and Intergenerational Trauma in Natsuki Takaya's Fruits Basket|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpcu.13123|journal=The Journal of Popular Culture|language=en|volume=55|issue=2|pages=476–497|doi=10.1111/jpcu.13123|s2cid=247993065|issn=0022-3840|access-date=5 June 2022|archive-date=5 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220605100704/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpcu.13123|url-status=live|url-access=subscription}}</ref>

== Plot ==
{{See also|List of Fruits Basket characters{{!}}List of ''Fruits Basket'' characters}}

When high school student Tohru Honda's mother dies in a car accident, Tohru is taken in by her grandfather. A few months later, her grandfather decides to remodel his house and asks Tohru if she can stay with one of her friends until it is finished. Not wanting to impose on her two best friends, Tohru buys a tent and begins living in a forest near her school.

While exploring one day, Tohru discovers a nearby home where her popular classmate Yuki Sohma lives with his cousin Shigure. Soon after, a landslide destroys her tent and the Sohmas invite Tohru to move into their house. As Yuki and Shigure show Tohru her new room, they are interrupted by Kyo Sohma, Yuki and Shigure's  cousin, who crashes through the ceiling and challenges Yuki to a fight.

Tohru tries to stop him, and—accidentally falling into him—causes him to transform into a [[cat (zodiac)|cat]] in front of her, discovering the Sohma family curse; that twelve members of the family, excluding Kyo, are possessed by the spirits of the {{nihongo|[[Chinese zodiac]]|十二支|Jūnishi}}, and turn into their zodiac animal when they are weak, under stress, embarrassed, or when hugged by someone of the opposite gender. Kyo is possessed by the cat who was excluded from the zodiac, and is cursed to be similarly bullied and abused by the clan.

When Tohru discovers the Sohma family secret, she promises not to tell anyone, and is allowed to keep living with them. Although the Sohma curse stretches far deeper and darker than Tohru initially thinks, her presence and her acceptance of them soon become a large, positive influence on those possessed by the zodiac. She sets out to break the curse and, on the way, meets and discovers the Sohma's vengeful zodiac spirits, including their leader, Akito, who occupies the position of "God" in the Chinese legend, and who both keeps the family together and chains them to their spirits.

== Production ==
The title of the series is taken from a children's game, {{nihongo|[[Fruit Basket Turnover|Fruits Basket]]|フルーツバスケット|furūtsu basuketto}}, in which the participants sit in a circle, and the leader of the game names each person after a type of fruit; when the name of a child's fruit is called, that child gets up and has to find a new seat. When the protagonist, Tohru Honda, first plays this game in [[kindergarten]], she is not given a fruit, and is instead assigned "{{transliteration|ja|[[onigiri]]}}" by her classmates, who do not want her to play. However, Tohru, thinking that {{transliteration|ja|onigiri}} are delicious, does not realise that her classmates are intentionally leaving her out of the game; once the game is finished, and all of the children but Tohru have been called, Tohru realizes that {{transliteration|ja|onigiri}} are not a type of fruit at all, and she realizes that she does not belong.

Tohru comes to associate this game with the Sohma family, and that she does not fit in among them any more than an {{transliteration|ja|onigiri}} does in a basket of fruit. In volume 1 of the manga, after Yuki and Kyo bring Tohru home from her grandfather's house, she begins to feel like she belongs with the Sohma family; after this, she imagines herself as a child hearing {{transliteration|ja|"onigiri"}} called in the game, symbolizing that she has finally found her place.<ref>{{cite book|last=Takaya|first=Natsuki|author-link=Natsuki Takaya|title=''Fruits Basket''|url=https://archive.org/details/fruitsbasketvolu00nats|url-access=registration|series=Volume 1|chapter=Chapter 6|year=2004|publisher=Tokyopop|isbn=978-1-59182-603-3}}</ref>

In April 2005, Funimation Entertainment started a project calling for convention attendees to help them fold [[One thousand origami cranes|1,000 origami paper cranes]]. In Japanese folklore, folding 1,000 paper cranes would grant someone a wish. When they had at least 1,000 cranes, Funimation sent the cranes and pictures of the events to Studio Deen and Hakusensha to try to convince the company to produce a second season of the ''Fruits Basket'' anime.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animeondvd.com/conitem.php?item=197|title=FUNimation Panel Coverage: Sakura Con 2005|first=Chris|last=Beveridge|publisher=AnimeOnDVD.com|date=9 April 2005|access-date=14 March 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061101142124/http://www.animeondvd.com/conitem.php?item=197|archive-date=1 November 2006 }}</ref> Fans successfully folded the required 1,000 cranes by the end of the 2005 convention season,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fruits-basket.com/extras/fb_news.htm|title=''Fruits Basket'' News: ''Fruits Basket'' Paper Crane Update|publisher=[[Funimation Entertainment]]|date=13 October 2005|access-date=14 March 2008|archive-date=10 March 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080310024939/http://www.fruits-basket.com/extras/fb_news.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> starting at least a 13-year gap that culminated in the announcement of the new ''Fruits Basket'' anime in 2018.<ref name=2018version/>
