SynopsisOur heroine, Ruu MACHIDA, is having a hard time. Her mother died when she was little, and her father, with whom she had been living, has disappeared without a trace after getting into debt. Ruu is on her own.
To make ends meet, she takes a job as a live-in maid for a very wealthy household. To Ruu's surprise, the house she ends up working at is the home of three cute brothers, and she already knows one of them! They agree to let Ruu work there because they are often alone and they could use the help. Their parents are often away on business. Ruu moves in and works hard as a maid, and they all become very close. But things aren't always smooth sailing. Ruu has a lot of pressure on her because of her father's debts, and three very cute guys to deal with! |

Why is this manga REALLY REALLY similar to Fruits Basket? Did it copy Fruits Basket? That's the downside to it, the fact that it is way TOO similar. The three guys part, the personalities, and also theres this part where one of the guys have to dress up in a girl's outfit, that's the same in Fruits Basket too! I really wanna know whether Iyo Takarada copied Natsuki Takaya or not. We can't say that Takaya copied Takarada because Fruits Basket was published before 2004.
The people that are similar to Fruits Basket are like this:
Yuzuki= Kyo (the temper is similar, but it was Yuki who was dressed up in the dress in FB)
Sanai= Shigure (the pervertedness)
Shuuichi= Yuki (the calmness)
Of course, there's no curse in this one, and the ages are different, but i find the personalities and events are the same. Also with the main girl protagonist with no parents. There has to be slight difference and a storyline so they make it that the dad is still alive.
I still think the art is quite nice. The story loses points because I find it too alike to Fruits Basket, which is one of my favourite manga/anime and I definitely would not like a repeat of it, no matter how much better. It would just seem like plagiarism, manga-style.

Similar story and charakter.
Fruits Basket is more developed, but these have the same backbone storyline. Both stories follow a somewhat naive, kind hearted girl who doesn't have parents. This girl ends up living with three guys, while working as their maid. The three guys she ends up living with are the perverted/friendly type, the princely type, and the awkward/honest type. If you enjoyed the humorous interactions in one, you will definitely like the other.

A girl living with popular/handsome boys. Both are comedies with small/slow romance development.
