So, which do you prefer?

I prefer the manga, it makes much more sense and has a much better ending!
I'm glad i read the manga first! <3

I watched the anime before reading the manga - the anime was good, and I love it because it got me to read Fruits Basket, but it is pale in comparison to the manga. The manga goes much deeper, and hits you way harder, than the anime ever did. In the anime, the story had barely just begun. The manga wraps everything up perfectly.

I re-read the manga about a month ago, in a few day stint. Once I got to the later volumes it was just like the first time - rapid page flipping, my eyes gobbling up every single word and picture. When I finally finished, I sat back, and ... I cried for about 5 minutes (I'm embarrassed to say). I just felt so much emotion, I think I needed to release some of it, haha. And of course, I could only think about it for the first week after.

This series is just one that gets to me like none ever has before.

The manga because more stuff happens, and the anime only went up to the manga's 7th volume while there's over 20 volumes.

I dont like the way the anime ends...
I guess because the manga wasn't finished at the time.So it just... ends
im buying the manga because i love it too much to read it on the internet... so its taking me sooo long to finish

I enjoyed the voice work in the anime. But then, voices and music are why anime is always better than manga.

Interesting.
I've never thought of it that way, but it's not that i dont enjoy the voices and music.
I just think that the manga's storylines are usually more powerful (if made before the anime- like this case). Also the artwork is what draws me into the manga/anime most of the time. I read the manga first also, so when it came to the anime i was a little disappointed, although the music was good.
I understand your point though, its strange how that has never crossed my mind before though.
Thanks for the opinion!

I prefer the manga because you get more of the story. And the horse isn't in the manga! ^_^

Manga, definiteeeeely.
The anime makes me laugh during more parts, though.
