Fruits Basket Collector's Edition, Vol. 1: Volume 1

Fruits Basket has been my favourite series since I was about 13. On the surface, it seems like a silly tale full of fluff and slightly ridiculous plot points, but if you stick with it you start to see a truly beautiful story that would be as heartwarming even without the antics of a cursed family and a schoolgirl who lives in a tent. You'll see past the slightly-dodgy artwork of the early volumes (it gets better, trust me!) Stick with it, and you see a story of friendship, and all the redeeming qualities therein. You see these characters, all of whom are victims of circumstance and carry back-breaking emotional baggage, learn to like themselves and to forgive their pasts and each other. You see romances blossom, and friendships form in unlikely places. This story, fundamentally, is about healing. The characters' journeys towards self-acceptance is a beautiful thing, but the magic of Fruits Basket will, in some small way, probably heal you a little bit too. I have to admit, this manga has been a source of great personal comfort for me over the years, and after losing my original copies in a house move I honestly thought I'd never own it again, once it went out of print. And yet here it is, in all its glory (and more, the collector's edition is beautiful!) Give Furuba a shot. You won't regret it. I still cry at the final chapters, after all this time.

I've loved Fruits Basket for about 7 yrs now, it was the first manga I read and I have copies of the first and second Tokyopop manga, this book is both together, with the bonus of coloured illustration pages and translators notes. While this edition does not have the mangaka's original notes and commentaries, they are replaced with new, adorable, illustrations. The cover is beautiful with Tohru on the front and Kyoko on the back. Overall, an incredible book and would recommend to anyone, especially Fruba fans!

One of the first mangas I ever read and it's still a firm favourite! The story is nice and light, but intriguing too. Characters are all very likeable and I'd definitely recommend this to anyone starting out ready manga. (It's great that's there's a brilliant anime for it too!). The book itself is lovely quality, nice and big, with clear pictures and writing. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend.

Very happy with volume 1. Cant wait to start reading it. Beautiful artwork. Book arrived in immaculate condition, no damage. Excited to receive volume 2 and 3 😁 Hopefully they will be in as good condition as Tohru and Kyoko was in 😁😁

This is one of my favorite mangas ever, the characters are funny and the story is light hearted to begin with but as you read through it starts to get darker while still having heart warming moments and it never get old no matter how many times you read it. I would recommend anyone to read this story

Great book

I love this, the manga is so adorable and the story itself is amazing, however the book arrived with damage, sad as the story itself is great.

its very beautiful, planning on buying the rest

Llegó rápido y sin ningún daño! Estoy encantada 🫶🏻💕

Lindo demais!!! Chegou tudo certinho, levou cerca de 1 semanas pra vir. Sua lombada, capa e papel são de alta qualidade e vieram sem defeitos (amassados ou rasgos) deixando muito confortável de ler e colecionar!! Para os fãs, vale muito a pena, mas se possivel comprem em promoçõe! Amo essa obra de paixão ❤️

The collector's edition brought out by Yen Press was exactly what i wanted. The pages are real good quality. There is really nothing to complaint about. As for the manga itself, it is one of the best ever made.

A minha filha adorou ler o livro

Helaas was de manga aan de voorkant gebogen waardoor er een grote vouw in zit. Erg jammer voor de verzameling
