Just got through with reading the first omnibus collection volume of Fruits Basket. It was..nnnot what I was really expecting. o-o ! But in a good way! Sorta,..
I remember my friends in high school reading and watching it and everything but I never got into it since I had studies and other stuff I was interested in. >->; I was really sunny and naïve back then, and the main character kind of reminded me of how I was, but without the hardships she went through and everything...I didn't go through my hardships until well in the middle of junior year, when my friends weren't there to see me everyday anymore, and the only support I got were from books and from myself, even though I was feeding delusions.
So I'm glad I read it. <:] I was honestly expecting more cliched comical/romance tropes than anything else, so it was a surprise to see there's more drama and in-depth character involved beneath the surface. I'll continue with the second volume tomorrow likely...if there isn't too much to do. >.>;
Hooooouhh, so much to doooo..
