Fruits Basket is a Japanese manga series originally serialized in the semi-monthly Japanese shōjo manga magazine Hana to Yume from 1998 to 2006. It was written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya.
You might think this is a strange name for a manga series, but the title comes from the name of a popular game played in Japanese elementary schools. The game is a bit like musical chairs and tag.
The series follows the story of Tohru Honda, a young orphan girl who meets Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Sohma. She learns that the thirteen members of the Sohma family are possessed by the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Most everyone knows of the 12 animals of the zodiac: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and the boar.
The missing 13th animal, according to legend, is the cat. However, all 13 animals are part of the curse attributed to the Sohma family. They transform into their animal forms when they are weak or feeling stressed.
Their animal forms are also triggered when they are embraced by anyone of the opposite sex that is not possessed by a spirit of the zodiac. Enjoy these Fruits Basket quotes!

What these Fruits Basket quotes teach us about life
Throughout the series, Tohru learns of the hardships and pain faced by the afflicted members of the Sohma family. She is a kind and generous person with an innately nurturing personality who helps them heal from their emotional traumas.
While doing so, she learns about life and also herself. One of my favorite quotes from Yuki is the one where he wishes he could have lived his life without “any wrong turns.” He mentions how we push forward and that is all we can do, on our own two feet. Quote the life lesson from the last of the family members to have the curse removed.
The original manga wasn’t adapted to an anime television series until 2001. It consisted of 26 episodes. A second anime television series adaptation, produced by TMS Entertainment and directed by Yoshihide Ibata, premiered in April 2019.
