IT is interesting... Have you ever seen Ranma, because its kinda like that. Well in the sense that people turn into animals. (when hugged by the opposite gender.) Its funny and you should watch it. Its really hard to explain. And thats that for my answer... ^.^

Fruits basket aka Furuba is not really a cutesy type story as many think it is (cutesy with a dark side). Also it is DEFINITELY NOT YOAI!!! It's about a family named Sohma who is cursed by the chinese zodiac animals. If you know the story... it goes like this...

Oneday King Jade announced there would be a big race and all the animals must compete. Rat and the Cat both thought about it and they feared they would never win because they were the smallest therefore, the slowest. So, Rat and Cat (best friends) went to Ox and asked if he could wake them up bright and early and allow them to ride on Ox's back. Rat told Ox that he would sit on Ox's head and keep a watch out in return. Ox agreed and bright and early in the morning came and woke Rat and Cat up. Rat and Cat both got on Ox's head and they made their way towards the finish line. While they were on Ox's back, Rat became a bit selfish. He wanted to be the first in line but he had to get rid of Cat. When Ox was crossing a river, Rat told Cat that there were many yummy fishes swimming around. Cat got excited and looked over into the river. While Cat was looking for fish, Rat gave Cat a push and Cat fell into the water. Cat hated the water very much and began scrambling to get back to shore. Ox not noticing a thing kept on walking. As Ox and Rat came near the finish line, Rat jumped off Ox's head and was the 1st place winner, Ox came in 2nd, then the other animals of the zodiac (don't remember the exact order), Cat seeing the animals pass by her began swimming even faster! King Jade finally announces that 11 have passed the finish line yet they needed one more. Boar ran right pass Cat to become the 12th winner. Cat finally gets out of the water and runs with all her might to the finish line to find out that 12 animals were already chosen. So King Jade congradulates all 12 animals except Cat. She was soo angry that Rat deceived her that she tried to kill Rat. That is also why they say Cats chase Rats. THIS IS JUST ONE VERSION OF THE STORY!!!

Knowing this, the Sohma family is cursed with the 12 zodiac animals, whomever that is cursed is hugged by the opposite sex or is nervous, they become (transform) into that animal. Don't think this is all cutesy and happy story, it is quite sad. The leader of the Sohma family is the one born with the full extend of the curse. That person is born to die. Always lives a life suffering. Well this girl named Tohru comes along discovers the Sohma curse and from there, it goes on...
