Fruits Basket 1st Season

Synopsis

Hatsuharu brings over an exhausted Kisa Sohma, who is the Tiger of the Zodiac, to Shigure's home. He reveals how Kisa ran away from home after being constantly bullied at school and has since been unable to speak. After biting him, she runs off, prompting Tohru to follow her. Kisa's situation also forcefully reminds Yuki of his own earlier suffering from Akito. Tohru soon finds Kisa and meets her mother. With Yuki eavesdropping out of sight, Tohru tells of her own experiences of being bullied and unable to tell anyone but felt relief when Kyoko found out and comforted Tohru. Kisa is moved by this and embraces Tohru after transforming back into a young girl. To allow time for both mother and daughter to heal, Kisa stays at Shigure's house for three days, never leaving Tohru's side but still mute. At school, Momiji believes that Kisa's bullying is due to her physical appearance as an effect of the Sohma curse. That afternoon after school, Hatsuharu brings a note from Kisa's homeroom teacher, stating that she needs to find the good in herself in order to recover and move on. Yuki disagrees, believing that one can recover only when someone else accepts them for who they are, referring to Tohru's acceptance of him. Kisa finally speaks in agreement, and resolves to better herself by returning to school. Yuki also resolves to move forward; unwilling to consider the offer earlier, he now accepts becoming the next student council president.
