 The 13th and final episode of Fruits Basket: The Final, the third and final season of the anime series, announced a new anime titled Kyouko to Katsuya no Monogatari (The Story of Kyouko and Katsuya) following its broadcast on Tuesday. The anime will debut in 2022. The side story anime will adapt chapters from volume 16 of the original manga, centering on Kyouko and Katsuya—parents of the female protagonist Tohru Honda. Miyuki Sawashiro (Noragami) and Yoshimasa Hosoya (Bungou Stray Dogs) will are reprising their roles as Kyouko and Katsuya, respectively. Fruits Basket adapts Natsuki Takaya's supernatural shoujo manga, which ran in Hana to Yume magazine from 1998 to 2006. Takaya serialized the Fruits Basket: Another sequel manga between September 2015 and December 2018. The first two seasons aired in 25 episodes in Spring 2019 and 2020. The third and final season began airing on April 6. Crunchyroll and Funimation simulcast all three seasons with subtitles and in English dub, respectively. Funimation also licensed the anime's home video rights and released the first two seasons on home video between November 2019 and March 23.

| My body is ready. I'm ready for another dose of sadness in 2022. |
| Um, I haven't read the manga in a long time buuuuut if I remember right Tohru's mom was a student who fell in love with her teacher right ? Right ? And Tohru's their kid right ? I do not see this being well received. |

| Good to have more Fruits Basket. |
 |
| Un-adapted chapters getting such a treatment, how beautiful is that? And the fact that there’s more of the series to look forward to in animation. Age-gap romance can be hit-or-miss but I’ve full confidence that this will deliver and, for that reason, I’m hyped! |

| This will be good, looking forward to it |
| In that case, how about Another? I really liked the Souma twins. |
 |
| I was a bit sad seeing they skipped their story, but this announcement made my day better! Can't wait for it. Now i have hope for Furuba Another to be adapted too at some point too. |

| Never read the manga, but from these comments it seems there's an age gap. Personally I don't care at all about age gaps if handled properly, so this is a non-issue for me. Excited to watch this. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| I was literally crying while watching this Commemorative Movie!! It's like they're bidding farewells from the story. The Again instrumental was heart-breaking. I can't.... the feels T_T |
 “Once you've been loved once and have loved once, you cannot forget it.” ― Natsume Takashi |
| So this is where Tohru's parents adaptation from the manga was removed from the main anime, to its own eventual anime/OVA/movie which is still canon to the FruBa source material. Not complaining though for the reason why their many chapters are worth its own standoff series. |
 |
| Now I understand why they removed Kyoko's back story from the anime. Honestly, they could have kept it in season 3 by adding two or three additional episodes exploring her backstory. There was enough detail in the manga without going overboard, so I'm concerned they may just add unnecessary stuff to pad it out. Let us wait and see. |

Yessss I even thought it will be included but I think it's better to have an OVA like this one 😍 By the way, they didn't cover about the incident with Kakeru's GF and Tohru in the anime right? Or I just missed that part.. hmmm 🤔 |
