Fruits Basket Collector's Edition
| I'm watching Fruits Basket and there's something I don't understand, why people say they're team Kyou and generally prefer him over Yuki (even if you look at the number of favs) while Kyou is clearly aggressive, abusive and even toxic towards Tohru, hence he even hits her once, not to mention how sometimes he just humiliates her because why not. Meanwhile Yuki is gentle, caring and much more comprehensive as a guy, so I'm a bit surprised about this situation. I understand that Kyou is probably traumatized by his past or whatever, not sure how much tho, but Yuki is no different (he was clearly abused by Akito as far as I understand) and he's not a complete dick. Anyway, tell me your thoughts. |

| People like Kyou more because he has character development and gets much better in the next two season |
 |
| You’ll learn why as you get farther into the series. |

| I mean, without spoiling anything Kyo has major reasons for how he acts and you find out more about their respective backstories and I would say Kyo's is more central to Tohru's development throughout the series. |
Sachyan said: Well there's one episode left for 1st season and I'm still considering if I'll continue the series or not. If you like it, just continue. If not, just stop watching, but you can't say things like that without watching until the end. I mean, you can, It's just not rocommended since you haven't seen everything from the characters. |

I'm just asking a question, this has nothing to do with what I think about it, or if I like it or not, you can answer by stating specific facts about each one of the characters. It's a very objective question. |

That’s why Yuki is out of the running, but I do understand that Kyo can be a pain in the ass. The reason people love him though is the same reason men love characters like Mai Sakurajima and Taiga from Toradora: people love a tsundere. |
| Oh also whether you continue or not is totally up to you. Personally, I love the show but Kyo only gets worse before he gets better. If you already don’t like him you honestly might not be able to get through it. No judgement at all that’s just my two sense |
| First just finish the entire show and then if you still feel like this then ... who cares man it's your choice if you like him or not personally it's my favourite show and I really LOVE Kyo but we're all different beings ... |

| Troubled guys always make better characters. I wrote fiction with two perfect gentlemen and a broken bad boy and guess who was everyone's favorite? Guess girls like the whole "I'll try to fix you" cliche. I'm no different. I married a gentleman, ofc, which I advise, but I like my characters in various shades. Yuki is tasteless, even girly, while our boy is rough around the edges and acts like that to keep Tohru away, his twisted way of protecting her. But he also wants her close, hence the push and pull. It's all about fantasy, not logic. |

| manabe better then both and yuki is better written then kyou but kyou was more fun to watch. |
 "I don't know about you But I'm feeling 22 Everything will be alright if You keep me next to you You don't know about me But I'll bet you want to Everything will be alright if We just keep dancing like we're 22, 22" |

Well makes sense, honestly so far I'm not shipping Tohru with anyone lmao. dohani said: Troubled guys always make better characters.

It's all about fantasy, not logic. That's true, I'm not particularly fond of the cliche irl but Kyou does receive more attention and depth, Yuki is clearly just there for the most part and Kyou has a much more stronger presence. That being said, I guess I was kinda upset when he hit Tohru, I found that kinda hard to deal ngl. |

Anyway, tell me your thoughts. Have u watched Season 2 and especially Season 3, in season 3 Kyuo will tell her about his past connection with Her mother. That will make u understand better. |

| Maybe you should finish the anime and let his character development speak for itself. |
| Kyo is a better fit for Tohru because Yuki simps for her. Yuki grows out of this by the end. |

ScionOfCyan said: And I'm not saying it's a character flaw that Yuki did this. Actually, it's totally understandable. Akito fills his ears with poison about everyone inevitably hating him, and when Tohru reveals those to be lies, and that there do exist people who will accept him, Yuki pedestalizes her. She's pretty much the first person to ever do that after all.Kyo is a better fit for Tohru because Yuki simps for her. Yuki grows out of this by the end. Pedestalizing a girl makes you much less attractive to her than doing what Kyo does. Which is treat her alternately with disregard and occasional contempt (but we realize that he puts her down while still hoping for the good for her, which allays our anxieties about him). And only sparing moments of affection. Finding this more attractive is the way girls work. |

Yuki always felt a lot more like family to her than anything else, imo. But as people are saying, you should finish the whole show and then review your perspective. Perhaps it'll make more sense then. ^-^ |

| Oh, Sachyan, definitely watch the whole show. Fruits Basket is special. 💕 Also, have you watched Horimiya? I believe you might like it. |

| Nah, I prefer Yuki than Kyou. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
