Publishing company Hakusensha announced on Sunday that Natsuki Takaya, the creator of the Fruits Basket manga, is launching a new manga. The new manga, titled Kakumo Chiisaki Sekai nite (In such a small world.), will begin on Hakusensha's Manga Park app on September 4.

Synopsis
Sui Nodera (23) left home. Her apartment neighbor, Kaoru Seto (21), suddenly barges into her house. It turns out that Seto's dog, Tino, had entered the veranda of Sui's apartment. This encounter gently blends into Sui's life.

Takaya serialized Fruits Basket in Hana to Yume magazine from July 1998 to November 2006. Hakusensha published the supernatural drama manga in 23 volumes. The Fruits Basket: Another sequel manga ran in Hana LaLa online from September 2015 to August 2020.

Studio Deen adapted the manga into a 26-episode television anime that aired from July to December of 2001. A new anime adaptation by TMS Entertainment aired in three seasons in the Spring of 2019, 2020, and 2021.

@Memore Apparently quite a few people want to enjoy the gay aesthetics and tropes without actual gay premise.

@RobertBobert, thanks, I read such novels.

This hot ML + plain FL + animal + neighbor sounds very similar to "Tonari no Aki to wa Kakawaranai" which I just finished reading a few days ago.

I enjoy this type of story so I'm pretty excited.

@Memore It's called "pseudo-BL" or "pseudo-GL" when the story resembles fake yuri or fake yaoi for some reason. You could see a bunch of examples of this in VN where an androgynous character is forced to hide in a school for the opposite sex.

@-YUMMY- The tragedy is that while she's always been blunt about her age gap fetish, the author of The Seven Sins has always tried to find excuses for his dubious ships?

For a second I though this will be Yaoi, as I see two males on the picture... but oh well : D

Great news! I'll be making sure to read this...

Sep 3, 2023 2:39 AM by Redcher

@Piromysl, I also thought so.

Sep 3, 2023 2:28 AM by Memore

Holy shit. I literally thought it is some sort of BL from the cover. :D
Seems like girl just looks tomboyish.

She now specifies the age of the characters so that no one makes age gap memes about her romance, lol?

Sep 3, 2023 1:35 AM by RobertBobert

Oh, that's awesome news! I do like "Fruits Basket," and hearing that the creator is launching a new manga is super exciting. I must not forget to read it :)
