Story
Fruits Basket follows the life of a High School student Tohru Honda, who became an orphan when her mother, Kyoko Honda, was killed in a car accident. Tohru went to live with her grandfather, but his house needed some remodeling. So she said she would stay with a friend until it was done, but actually was living in a tent. Little did she know she was on the Sohma Families property...
One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the woods with Zodiac Ornaments drying outside and found out that was the home of Shigure Sohma and Yuki Sohma. Yuki was first year and most popular guy (Prince Charming) in her high School. Later the two found out Tohru was living in a tent. She pleads to stay offering to pay a rental fee for living on their property and catches a fever. Her tent is then buried in a landslide. Shigure and Yuki felt sorry for her knowing she'll get worst without any care, as they are desperate to end take-out eating habits and poor living conditions. So they offer her a spare room in exchange for housework and cooking.
Later on, she meets another member of the Sohma family, Kyo Sohma after he crashes through the roof to challenge Yuki to a battle. She accidentally bumps into him in a hug-like way, causing him to turn into a cat. Tohru understands the cat-spirit's hatred of the rat through Kyo's rivalry with Yuki. This discovery leads her to discover the whole Sohma family's secret: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the twelve animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac ("Jyūnishi" in Japanese) and the spirit of the cat, who was left out of the Zodiac. They are transformed into their animal forms when hugged by the opposite gender or when they feel weak or stressed. Tohru shows her loyalty through keeping secrets so the head of the Sohma family decides that she can keep her memory, unlike others who had found out and had their memories erased.
