Takaya, Natsuki(2004)
Fruits Basket, vol. 1
Young Adult

Tohru Honda is a homeless orphan, but she tries to always stay cheerful, despite her troubles. When Yuki Sohma, the handsome prince of her school, offers to let her live with him and his cousins in exchange for housekeeping, Tohru discovers that the members of the Sohma family are under an ancient curse. Her determination and love might be just what this troubled family needs to break free from the chains of tradition binding it together. Takaya?s extremely popular manga is drawn with a gentle romantic style that perfectly complements this sweet story, filled to the brim with friendship, romance, and the powerful pull of family ties and obligations.
