Summary: After the accident in which she lost her mother, 16-year-old Tooru moves in with her grandfather, but due to his home being renovated, is unable to continue living with him. Claiming she will find someone to stay with but also fearing the criticism of her family and not wanting to burden any of her friends, Tooru resorts to secretly living on her own in a tent in the woods.
One night on her way back from work, she finds her tent buried underneath a landslide. Yuki Souma, the "prince" of her school, and his cousin Shigure Souma, a famous author, stumble across Tooru's situation and invite her to stay with them until her grandfather's home renovations are complete.
Upon arriving at the Souma house, Tooru discovers their secret: if a Souma is hugged by someone of the opposite gender, they temporarily transform into one of the animals of the zodiac! However, this strange phenomenon is no laughing matter; rather, it is a terrible curse that holds a dark history. As she continues her journey, meeting more members of the zodiac family, will Tooru's kindhearted yet resilient nature be enough to prepare her for what lies behind the Souma household's doors?
My opinion: From the first episode I was hooked. Honestly, I never heard of the show a friend had recommended it to me. So I had just a basic idea of what I thought it might be like. And it was nothing like I imagined it to be. At first, I just thought ok this show is interesting I can't wait to see what happens next. All of the characters were unique and had something special. I have to say this is one of my favorite anime's. The end was a bit confusing but if you like it they also have manga of the series. I heard explains the ending better.
P. S 5/13/19 In case you didn't know they have done a reboot of this show in others they are making the show exactly like the manga is. You can find it on kissanime it is called Fruit Baskets (2019) at this moment there are only six episodes that have been uploaded.
