   'FURUBA!'
My first impression: I thought it would be crap. From what I had hear about the series, it seemed it would end up being an overly cutesy cross between Ranma 1/2 and DNAngel. I was not expecting much from it.

Thoughts after I read it: I was wrong... so very wrong. There was much more depth to the story and the characters itself. Man... the characterization in this manga was awesome... there's so many layers to it. It was just wow... I was blown away.

What I love about this manga: The plot and most of the characters, there's all these shadowy undertones and such... so much left unanswered. GEH! I'm addicted! Oh and the little stick figure-esqe drawings, crack me up.

What I hate about this manga: Some of the character designs, like Yuki's for example. I find very creepy. Yuki's eyes to me are very unsettling and I don't understand why he has a fan club... And Tohru... perky/happy female main characters always seem to annoy me.. don't ask me why.

So... here's how 'Furuba' (or Fruits Baskets) rates up on my scales...

Plot: 10
Characters: 9
Art: 7
Overall: 8.7

Laugh/Cry Meter (I love a good series that makes me laugh or cry, greats ones, I do both): Cried

Priority to buy: HIGH!
