Fruits Basket Collector's Edition
| well, i prefer the manga becouse it explains the things much better than the anime and have a better ending |
| 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. |
 |
| Manga it was a lot more detailed an Yuki was drawn a lot, a lot better!!!!!!!!!! |

 |
| the manga is a lot better for sure |
 |
| 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. |
Asako said: 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 all the way. they didn't even really finish the anime, just sort of stopped half way through. |
      |
| the manga rulez!! |
| Manga, definiteeeeely. The anime makes me laugh during more parts, though. [: |

| The manga is better, of course!!! I wasn't satisfied with the anime's ending...and I heard the manga's ending was much better. I started reading the manga, and it is so much better than the anime. |

| The manga is much better. |
| manga, i have just seen one episode of the anime but the manga was better |
   |
| The manga is sooooooooo much better than the anime. The anime took out the deepness that made the manga so moving. Not to mention Isuzu and Kureno aren't in it and there's the whole Akito details that we never see in the anime. The one point I give to the anime is the Teru Teru Momiji song XD It was so cute lol |
 |
| I wached the anime first, and I didn't find it that interesting. But, since it was one of the very first anime I had ever seen, I continued into the manga anyway, 'cause I really didn't have anything else to read/watch. If I were to watch Fruits Basket now, I'm sure I wouldn;t have continued into the manga. BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID. The mange was freaking amazing. It made so much sense, and it had such a great ending... I loved it. manga >>>> anime. ftw <3 |

| Manga :D by faaar. |

| the manga is best i think |
 |
| Manga, all the way! It's one of my favorites too! =) |
    *^*Random Rant*^* |
| I do love both...but the manga is sooooooo much better! As soon as a new volume comes out I buy it asap and read it that day! I just can't wait to find out what happens next! I understand that the anime came out way before the manga had an ending so they had to come up w/ one that was different. Which that does put a different spin on it, but with all the suprises and drama and excitement the manga has, it just keeps me reading and rereading them! I love Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki! Fruits Basket is my favorite manga! (which is why I have the user name I have) ;) |
| I saw one episode of the anime ages ago, and it really didn't appeal to me. But since I noticed so far that some series have a huge difference between the quality of the manga and anime, decided to take a look at the manga. And got hooked. I'd say the manga is probably definitely better, but I'll come rate after I've read the whole thing, plus made myself watch it. :) Good luck to me. |
 |
| Manga The anime doesn't do the manga much justice. The ending left at a huge cliffhanger, so the anime seemed a bit off too. |
| Manga. The anime was disappointing. |
| I also like manga more^^ Because I like this story very much and manga is much longer than anime. That's why I'm glad I can enjoy manga longer^^ |
 |
| The manga. The anime leaves out two of the best best characters! >< |

That's all I feel and I couldn't express it perfectly in English. |
 |
| I've only read the manga, but from what I know the anime ends halfway through and it doesn't have a proper ending, so the manga wins for me. |
| MANGA I watched the anime long before I even started reading manga, and the manga was the first that I ever read and the only full set I own. Even so, I found the manga far more intriguing and indepth than the anime, which seems silly in comparison to it's original form. I love how the manga seems "darker" in a way, and of course that it has a proper ending that makes sense to the story. The character developement in the manga is better too, but I may just be bias. It also helps that I love to read, so naturally I'd be drawn to it. ^^ |
| Definitely the manga, although I enjoyed the anime as well! The manga was so much more detailed and longer, plus it had an AWESOME ending! I think if they made more episodes in the anime it would be much better! |
| MANGA of course! IMHO, the anime sucks. LOL. especially the ending. |
titiembe said: I'm currently finishing up the anime and I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what chapter or volume of the manga the anime stops at. I REALLY love the anime and from what I've read here the manga is even better, so I would appreciate it if someone helped me out... thanks :) The anime's final scenes take place in volume 6 of the manga. However, the anime switches around certain storylines; for example, some of the characters that were introduced early on in the anime actually turn up in the later volumes. So, it would be kind of confusing for you if you started at volume 6. =) Anyway, I'd suggest reading from the beginning. You won't regret it, and it won't take you too long to catch up either.

| The manga is much better. Purchased it in France. Love it. |

| Manga (your vote) I watched the anime first, it was good, I have to say. but this year I read the manga and I found it better than anime itself^^ |
| Manga, of course. The anime is not even close to be called "a good adaptation". |
