This was one of the first manga's I ever read. The thing that really drew me in was the way the author could have me laughing my butt off on one page and in tears(of sadness not laughter) on the next. She has a real way of making you feel for her characters so when they make mistakes or smile you feel like your doing it too. I still hold most manga's up to Fruits Basket when rating them.

Last night I had a dream. In that dream I was a beautiful Butterfly, dancing in the air, without a care in the world. When I awoke this question came to mind: Am I a Butterfly dreaming that I am Human. Or am I a Human dreaming that I am a Butterfly?
How do we really know?
