Fruits Basket

Following a tragic accident that claimed her mother’s life, 16-year-old Tooru Honda finds herself living with her grandfather. However, when his house needs renovations, she can’t stay there anymore. Unwilling to impose on friends and wary of family criticism, Tooru opts to live secretly in a tent in the woods.

One evening, after returning from work, Tooru discovers her tent destroyed by a landslide. At this moment, Yuki Souma, the school’s “prince,” and his cousin, the well-known author Shigure Souma, find her. They offer her a place to stay at their home until her grandfather’s renovations are finished.

At the Souma residence, Tooru uncovers a bizarre family secret: when hugged by someone of the opposite sex, the Soumas transform into animals of the zodiac. This is no mere quirk but a severe curse with a dark past. As Tooru gets to know more zodiac-bound family members, her compassionate and tough nature is put to the test. Will she be ready to face the deep secrets that dwell within the Souma family?
