I discorved it and many other manga titles in the library in my tireless search for books with many pictures. I guess I'm just a visual person like that. It's hard for me to sit down and read a thick book unless it has adult theme and content in it (more entertaing and real).
And, I guess that why i love manga and anime so much because it deals with a lot of real life issues that people face everyday that you don't particularly find in the slapstick, carefree and uber-censored cartoon and comic book medium in America.
i love fruits Basket because i'm all about cute things and i'm also an animal lover, and, i'm particularly fond of kittens and mice but only for their cute little beady eyes and squirrels for their cute little bushy tails other than that squirrels are ugly and who really likes rats?
A good example as to how real manga can be is a title called "Bitter Virgin" you should definately look into it and another example as to how surreal but delightfully charming would be, you guessed it, "Fruits Basket".
There are many other great manga titles out there and for the one that is the cutest and most charming "Fruits Basket" is definately second to none
So, sayonara everyone!
