10 Lessons Fruits Basket Taught Us and Is Reteaching Us Today | Its Impact, Themes, and Importance

i felt compelled to share the 10 lessons i learned from Fruits Basket when i was growing up and am relearning now as a young adult. Fruits Basket holds a special place in my heart since it was one of my very first anime and one of the first manga series i read through entirely. 

rewatching it in my twenties has given me a wonderful sense of nostalgia and also humbled me quite a bit. its reminded me of truths that are easy to forget and has inspired me to be a more positive, kind, and forgiving person. i hope yall enjoy taking this little trip down memory lane as we discuss some of the lessons we can walk away with as well as how this points us to the importance of the series and some of the bigger themes in fruits basket.

I Got Too Carried Away With My YukiKyo Headcanons Again

Well, anyway. 

Was asked by Shark on the discord if I had fluffy headcanons for them. And I thought about what it would be like if Kyo proposed to Yuki. And then apparently I couldn’t stop. 

Have a half ramble/half freeform drabble about Kyo proposing. 

SFW Warnings: This Is Cheese Central Word Count: ~2500 (because I haven’t been concise one day in my goddamn life)

So I've always had a long standing headcanon that Yuki and Kyo really like to hike together or go on long evening walks. They're just really outdoorsy people, and I imagine if they go on vacations they avoid cities and go on more nature-esque type trips. Like they would go to California and not go to any of the LA tourist stuff, just go right up north to the redwoods and spend time in those kinds of places.

Anyway, I think they have their normal walks that they go on (and really, it's a shame that they're not pet people because any dog would be over the moon to get such long walks all the time).

They've talked about marriage a little back and forth, they've been living together for a good while now. But they both agree that they're not super romantic people, and if they get married it won't be this big thing. The conversation is really..... tepid? And wildly unromantic and very "straight to the point". Anyway, Kyo and Tohru are having lunch together just the two of them as they often do, and Kyo kinda just mentions casually what's going on with him and Yuki.

And Tohru FLIPS out, she's so excited. She wants to know who proposed to who and what the wedding is going to be like when it's going to be and HAVE YOU TOLD KAZUMA YET and just bombarding him with all these questions

And he's like "woah woah, chill out, it's not like that. We just kinda decided on it. No one proposed. We're not gonna have some dumb big wedding. It's just something we're talking about is all."

"....Oh."

And Tohru just kind of deflates and pouts, and Kyo gets irritated like, "We're not romantic people, Tohru. In case you haven't noticed."

And Tohru's like "that's not true, what about the time Yuki surprised you for valentine's day at that restaurant" (Yuki found this place that served sepcifically country-style food that was close to the region where Kyo trained in the mountains that Kyo really likes -- took him there, and then surprised him with an overnight trip at a hot springs like an hour away from where they live).

"Or what about the time that Yuki surprised you at the dojo," Tohru adds. (Kyo got his official teacher certificate for karate, and Yuki asked Kazuma if he could borrow the dojo for the night, and threw a small surprise party for him with all his tolerable friends).

And she just starts listing example after example until Kyo's like -- “I GOT IT.”

Cause the difference between them is that Kyo is all about the little gestures, which Yuki isn't great at, but Yuki is much better at the grander gestures that throw Kyo off and make him feel so important and special and loved.

And Kyo kinda puts his head on the table like "fuck." And Tohru waits for a second before she's like "soooo..... you'll do something special then?"

"Yeah, yeah, get off my back."

Because Kyo realizes he's never really... done something like that for Yuki. Never done something that focuses on him so much and makes Yuki feel like the special one. And.... Yuki’s never really had that in general. Any praise he got from their high school peers or the main house were based on things that weren't true about Yuki, or that Yuki didn't like about himself. And Kyo knows that by now. (But also Kyo’s an idiot, and if you were to ask Yuki who is the more romantic one between the two of them Yuki would say Kyo without a doubt. He’s so consistently considerate on an everyday basis without even trying. Yuki’s a little insecure about the fact that his affection has to be so deliberate at times, but I digress).

So Kyo huffs, and realizes it actually would be really nice to see Yuki caught off guard by that.... and it makes Kyo feel happy to think about how happy it would make Yuki to receive some kind of gesture like that.

So Kyo does his best to plan something. But despite it all he's not great at it. Until he kind of comes up with an idea.

(Also he's acting a little weird throughout this whole period of trying to figure something out, and Yuki figures he's freaking out because they talked about getting married and Kyo's realizing he’s not ready.

Yuki actually confronts him one night, and is like "You know... things are fine the way they are. I didn't mean to pressure you into anything." And Kyo is like ???? he never even considered not marrying Yuki as an option?

And he wants to open his mouth and say that he's wrong, but all the things he wants to say kinda step on his speech he's been working on for like a week now, so he just says instead "Don't worry about it.” And kisses him, and sorta just goes to bed. Even though he knows Yuki is still feeling a little uneasy.)

So anyway, one night, he goes up to Yuki and asks if he wants to go on a walk with him -- which is a pretty standard happening. And Yuki stretches and smiles and agrees, and they walk down the path they've walked since they moved into their new place. Their first apartment was small and crowded, and they were still young and figuring things out. The new place they've moved into is more of a town house, and they've been there about a year now. It's closer to wooded areas, like Shigure's place, and they're close to a temple that goes up a huge amount of stairs (they went there for their first new years in the new place and watched the sunrise from one of the benches at the top of the hill. They both decided they were gonna invite Tohru to come with them next year).

Anyway, Kyo leads him down the path, and they're pretty silent. Yuki tries to start conversation, but Kyo's really nervous and kinda tongue tied and can't really focus so Yuki gets the hint that Kyo's probably just lost in thought and just walks by him comfortably.

Now, more backstory because apparently even random headcanons that I come up with on the spot need this kind of bullshit:

There was exactly one (1) maid that Yuki liked in Sohma house when he was growing up that worked in Akito's house. She had other duties, but once a week, she would also clean the whole house -- and often times Yuki was there while she would. She was a nice, older woman and at first they didn't interact much. But when she would clean, she would play English songs on her little radio and hum along to them -- in particular Ella Fitzgerald. It was such a nice sound, and the woman's voice on the radio was so comforting and rich — it was so unlike how people talked to him, so cold and dispassionate. So he would silently follow her around from room to room to listen to the music.

The maid thought it was really cute, and wouldn't say anything because she didn't want to scare him off. It's a few weeks of this when Yuki finally asks who the woman singing is, and the maid tells him. Yuki starts paying more attention to his English studies because he wants to understand what she's saying. When the maid comes over, instead of lurking outside the rooms, he sits in a corner out of her way as he reads a book and she does her work silently. She also starts commenting on how skinny Yuki is (he didn't eat much at the time) and would always give him little candy treats that she usually gave to her grandkids.

She tells him how she was a little girl when the war ended, and they lived in a place that got flooded by a lot of American activity, and so she was exposed to a lot of English music growing up, and how it reminded her of her family.

There's one song in particular that Yuki starts to sing along to -- Someone to Watch Over Me

When he and Kyo start dating, and they stop being spiky little shits, and become more relaxed, Yuki starts opening up a little more. Kyo is over at Yuki's place one day and Yuki puts on Ella Fitzgerald, because once he was old enough he was sure to track down all her records and CDs and plays them while he's working now.

Someone to Watch Over Me comes on and the two are just sitting, idly, Yuki working on homework, Kyo reading one of Yuki's books, and when the song plays he starts to hum it and then clumsily sing along to it. He sits next to Kyo and takes his hand and says "You know, this song always makes me think of you."

And he sings along (though he's half tone deaf and still has a pretty bad accent, despite his grades lol)

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me

And Kyo kind of snorts, and squeezes Yuki’s hand back and goes "What does it mean?"

And Yuki hums and goes "You should have paid more attention during English class."

Back to the present day, Yuki's interest in Ella Fitzgerald doesn't go unnoticed.

He walks Yuki along the path, and it's about a mile and a half until they reach this really pretty clearing. It's almost summer so there are some fireflies around, and the bamboo is really high and creates this cool little secluded place that they've found. When they're about to reach it, Kyo takes Yuki's hand and Yuki, still not aware of anything, takes it easily and smiles.

And Kyo stops him and is like "Hang on a second."

And Kyo looks really nervous now.

And Yuki kind of looks at him and asks "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

And Kyo is looking around all frantically before he kind of snarls out, "you assholes have NO sense of timing, do you?"

And there's this really faint voice off in the bamboo that goes "sorry."

And all of the sudden the area is lighting up. There's lights placed all around the bamboo, and it gives off this really beautiful, glow. And then, music starts to play. it's Ella Fitzgerald, but it's not Someone To Watch Over Me -- it's Night and Day. And Kyo puts his hands on Yuki's waist and goes "this is the one that reminds me of you."

And Yuki is already fucking floored and is looking at Kyo and goes, dumbly, "What are you doing?"

He sways with Yuki a bit back and forth in this really awkward dance, and because Kyo isn't all that conventional of a person he just says "I want to marry you. And you'd be dumb as hell if you didn't want to marry me too, cause no one else is going to take your shit other than me."

"I want to marry you," Yuki says immediately, still shocked.

"Good. But. Shut up. Let me just. Talk."

"I want to be with you. And I'm not gonna hide that. You're not something in my life that I'm gonna hide. I don't give a shit who knows I--no, I want people to know. That I love you. And that I'm choosing you. And that you're gonna be part of my life. Forever. If you want."

Yuki opens his mouth but

"Shut up, I'm not done. I'm tired of you talking. You always have to have the first AND last word, and you don't think about what I want half the time. Let me tell you what I want without you thinking you're dragging it out of me, or whatever. Because I'm about to ask you to marry me, and then I'm gonna tell you that I don't want to just sign a piece of paper, I want people you care about... and I care about with us. I want a big fucking party because I should get some kind of congratulations for agreeing to deal with you for the rest of our lives, got it?”

And Yuki just kind of nods, and his face is starting to turn kind of red and he's breathing pretty hard.

"Good."

Kyo goes on one knee, finally. Even though this is all really out of order, and digs something out of his pocket and pops up a ring box for a gold band.

"Let me marry you, Yuki. Please. Keep me around, alright?"

And before when his expression is kind of still pinched and irritated like Kyo gets when he's embarrassed and nervous, now it's completely sincere and vulnerable. And Night and Day is still playing in the background. And he can HEAR people rustling around and he has no idea who yet and he still can't believe this is happening.

He sinks down onto his knees in front of Kyo, takes the band and holds it up. "Aren't you going to put it on me?" He asks, but he doesn't sound smug he sounds winded. And Kyo nods. And he does.

And Yuki holds his hand up in front of him and is kind of holding back tears, until he slides that hand through Kyo's hair really gently and looks at Kyo.

"Can I speak now?" Yuki asks, a little teasingly, but still pretty much caught off guard.

Kyo snorts, "If you gotta."

"I want everything you want," Yuki says. "I think that's how it's going to be for awhile. And I want to marry you. I. Yes. I don't even think you technically asked, but I'm still saying yes. Kyo."

And he leans in and kisses him, and the two kiss there in the clearing both on their knees, holding each other really really really tight, and Yuki can't help it maybe ONE tear slips past.

Anyway, the people who were hiding in the bushes were Haru, Kakeru, Momiji and Tohru. Haru was taking pictures the whole time, and the one of them breaking apart after that kiss they have framed. Because Kyo's hands are wrapped around Yuki's waist, and Yuki's hand is on Kyo's cheek, and his other arm around Kyo's shoulders, and they're both smiling at each other.

Yuki keeps the rest of the photos in a photo album along with all their wedding photos.

Once the proposal is over, Kakeru and Tohru roll out a whole picnic that Kyo had prepared for them. And Momiji is the one who set up the lights and the music, so. They all fuck off and let them have their dinner together, but not without all of them hugging them first.

Kyo tried to shoo them away after they helped him set up, but they refused. Yuki seemed happy enough that they were there, so he guesses it’s fine.

thoughts on furuba reboot ep 5

ok is it just me or do the episodes feel like it goes by so fast???

shigure looked so un-phased when tohru said she was leavin

LIKE HE ALREADY KNEW SHE WAS COMIN BACK LOL

yuki and kyo on the other hand 👀

tohru looked so miserable when she went to the house and my heart broke for her.

they treat her so horribly and i was about to THROW SOME HANDS ojichan did it for me already.

shigure purposefully left the address on the table and knew the boys were gonna rescue her SHIGURE YOU SLY DOG

We got some kyoxyuki getting along. well somewhat...

yuki: *politely knocks on door* no one answers

kyo: *SCREAMING* EXCUSE ME

YUKI TACKLED HIM DOWN SO FAST I LAUGHED SO HARD

my eyes were SWEATING so much when tohru started to cry

yuki could literally kill someone with a flick to the forehead ngl

MISSION SAVE THE PRINCESS WAS A SUCCESS !!!

shigure: never have I seen yuki go into pieces like that before

BLUSHY BOI YUKI HAS APPEARED. 

also. side note, but forehead yuki is an actual LOOK 👀

[zodiacursed]

Kyou

Send me a Character and I'll tell you if my Muse would sleep with them

Not Enough Alcohol in the World || No || Maybe if I were wasted || Maybe || Eh…Sure || Yes || TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF NOW!

It depends on the Kyo. Like rn I’m working with @catscourged to set up the kyoxyuki ship in a believable way so it doesn’t just come off as crack-y. But let it be known I do ship it, and any Kyo that approaches me to let me know it’s okay to ship with them I would totally be up to it!

As long as it doesn’t just switch from fist fighting to kisses. XD

[agents-of-sobs]

Alright guys I'm feeling hella inspired today for some reason and I want to write some short fics! Send me prompts for KyoxTohru! Depending on the prompt you may also convince me to do a MinexAyame, HartorixMayuko, and MachixYuki. Also some KyoxYuki brotp only! But I'm mostly leaning towards KyoxTohru.

[hueylaforet]

Fruits Basket reminds me a good time in my life in which I used to be cringy af and roleplayed it with friends on msn (I don’t even remember which character I used to be, though) and would post the result of the mess on fanfiction websites. Also, all my fujo friends used to send me KyoxYuki yaoi fanfiction even though I never shipped it myself, lmao.

Oh yeah, I used to like Yuki x Tohru more so I was disappointed when I found out who she ended up with as well.

[jujyfru1t]

hello my name is *yells about Furuba*

I dunno what I’m doing but I have Feelings so let me rant about them, by me.

Some of y'all may not know that Fruits Basket is my favorite series on the planet– well you do now. That comes with a caveat of favorite manga, not favorite anime (that honor goes to either Noragami or Chihayafuru, with Madoka Magica as an honorable mention). I do also love the anime dearly! But comparing them is like apples and oranges, horses of different colors, etc etc, not least because the anime was made before the manga was barely halfway through. futile hope springs eternal for a full remake. So most of my feels rant will be manga-centric although the general feels apply to the anime, and uh there may be spoilers idk it’s been out for a long time???

The first volume came out in the US five days after my *deep breath* 15th birthday. I got it for the next year’s bday present from my big sis, aaaand that was when the gates of otaku/manga hell swallowed me up (I was somehow unaware that Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh were also Japanese pop culture, go figure.) I have no memory of how I found the anime– my anime-bittorrent-whateverthefuck knowledge was nonexistent but I don’t think it was airing live. I got the box set for some Christmas but that would’ve been after I was a massive fan so *shrug*

Anyway I watched the dub first and holy hell if I wasn’t planning to marry Yuki Sohma before then I definitely was after that, thanks Eric Vale. (I still have huge love for the dub cast fight me). Yun-chan was my first 2D crush and tbqh I’m still in love with him. Also I stg he’s the whole reason why pretty boys are a Big Thing of mine. And wait omg Shigure’s first appearance?! Like, that’s probably why dudes with glasses are also My Thing wow I just blew my own mind but moving on

Fun fact I couldn’t choose between Kyoru or Yukiru bc they were both cute (present me@young me: u will realize eventually grasshopper) but I was 100% cool with Kyoru happening because of course then I could be with Yuki. Cue me dabbling in a few paragraphs of self-insert fic.

uh lemme cut this it’s becoming a novel

Random things (this whole thing is random wtf):

I was blessed enough to get my hands on the entire Tokyopop run, plus the fanbooks!!! before they shut down. I’ve been warring with myself for ages over whether to start collecting the Yen Press specials but. my resolve is weakening. I also have all of Takaya-sensei’s other stuff yeet (Phantom Dreams, Those with Wings, Songs to Make You Smile) except for Twinkle Stars which I’m def gonna get and OBVIOUSLY THE INSTANT FURUBA ANOTHER COMES OUT IM GRAB meanwhile if I remember to check out the scans

been a while since I reread it(it’ll be my third one~) but off the top of my head some favorite arcs etc are: obviously the major one at the end of vol 6. The Red Cap. Hatori and Kana (RIP ME) The Summerhouse (Jason the bear jfc). Akito’s reveal. Kyoko and Katsuya’s entire thing obviously (EXTRA RIP ME I’m crying just thinking about it). “The plum on your back” scenes. Kyo and Kyoko. THAT FIRST NEW YEAR’S WHEN YUKI AND KYO RACE BACK TO THE MAIN HOUSE BECAUSEtheir girlfriend MY DAUGHTER IS SAD AND LONELY AND THEY MAKE WISHES ON THE ROOF heck me upppp– also literally all roof scenes (karate kid Tohrutm) BUT THAT ONE HHGBNCCSV!!! Also my fav episode along with the AU-ish final 2.

Furuba fandom is my biggest fleet of ships by far which is hilarious bc I have a lot of fandoms and a lot of ships and you can see them bc i’m a derp but since nobody looks at that and nobody will read this (?) I’ma talk about them here. I DO WANT I WANT YO

but seriously I support

literally all the canon ships except HanaxShishou, pardon me Takaya-sensei but why. Wtaf.

a metric fuckton of non-canon ships bc of COURSE I DO

my low-key ships include

MomijixKagura. pairing the spares if you will XD

KaguraxTohru

RinxTohru. yes I have bi Tohru headcanons mmkay

Future!Kisa/Tohru (blame this fic)

KyoxUo.

YukixHana. all symmetrical-like (but wow i forgot i highkey shipped it for a while until…)

GurexAaya. like, come on. Also poly Mabudachi Trio

MomijixTohru. they’re super hecking cute ok, edging into high-key

my high-key ships include

HanaxUo. ok this??? is a big OTP, and 99% why I’m hella salty over HanaxShishou (at least KurenoxUo had an actual subplot!!). They are Tohru’s adoptive moms and I will forever protec (and yet. HanaxTohru and girls OT3 are also Good Ships but tbh super low-key) also I MADE SOMEONE SHIP IT

YukixTohru. see the start of this post way up there somewhere

KyoxYuki. my first rivalshiptm

HaruxYuki. “He was my first love” one cannot simply– have a character say this and not expect fans to ship. Also bi Haru is canon. lotta bi folks up in here imo

KakeruxYuki. CUTE GODDAMN DORKS WOW

But my flagship, my OTP to end all OTPs and my polyship to end all polyships in any fandom is the SS Yukyoru. KyoxTohruxYuki.

I’ve had polyship predilections for 6-7 years now, though it’s more recent I’ve started polyshipping every love triangle i encounter bc I‘m so done with them… there wasn’t really any lightning-bolt moment when I realized I shipped them much more together rather than apart. but like, I ship all three permutations so at some point my brain went HERE’S AN IDEA which tbh is how a lot of my polyships happen, i mainly have OT3s (if I ship 2 outta 3 there’s a good chance ima poly it)

but anyway! there’s absolutely no way to convey how much I adore this ship and IT’S A HUGE EMPTY YACHT I NEED CREW MEMBERS PLZ

I am building it up one fic at a time and if you’ve made it this far and have any interest at all plz read my shit and general Furuba screaming is appreciated as well of course!!! (also look at the most beautiful piece of fanart ever)

More fic! have my mixed bag of bookmarks (Sure For The Axis is my absolute fav, 2nd is Little Prayer) u can also find my Yukyoru stuff on AO3 ehehe~ and oh look HanaxUo!

and holy whoa i’m done. TLDR FURUBA IS THE BEST MANGA EVER AND YUKYORU IS THE PUREST RARESHIP EVER

THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT

[kyoxsohma]

Rp rules

Basics

The mun is 18+ but I’ll tell you right now I have never in my entire life role played smut. I have no clue how to and honestly I am not interested in it. So if you don't want awkward and crappy smut, I suggest not writing with me. However some gore is okay I’ve done that before.

I can do one-liners or script(?) I tend to get really wordy on those. I tend to write in that style with messaging so message me if you would like to rp that way. Other that para or lit (?) is what I do.

Also just a heads up I do tend to reply pretty fast. Like almost immediately. If I don’t that’s because I’m a college student and I’m in class or busting my ass doing homework.

Timezone is EST

Interacting

I made this account to rp with other fruits basket accounts. If you aren’t a fruits basket character or a fruits basket OC then I will not rp with you. However, I will literally talk to anyone about anything so if you wanna talk just send me a message! I swear I don’t bite. I do rp with multiple muses I literally don’t care about that but rping with people that have my muse makes me uncomfortable so I won’t be writing with them.

Portrayal

I have seen the anime and have read the manga so many times I can’t tell you. Though I prefer the manga a lot more, I will write in the anime verse as well. I have also been caught up with Fruits basket Another so if any of those characters want to write with me please do! I would love to interact with the children. Also Kyo is like 16-17 as I’m writing him maybe 18 depending but that can change depending on the rp.

Ships

If anyone knows me, I am a huge KyoxTohru shipper. I’ve always have and will be. That doesn’t mean I won’t do rp that involve kyo being with someone else. Like I love KyoxYuki a lot. I will not however  rp with Kyo being with the mabudachi trio and characters that are a lot older than him. As for OCs I will not write with kyo being in a relationship with them and during those rp I’ll just assume that Kyo is crushing or together with tohru.

[kiridork]

Favorite FB non-cannon pairing?

Hmmm I think I’m going to have to say uoxhana. Idk I read a fanfic of them before and I like absolutely loved it it was so cute. I also really like tohruxuo and tohruxrin. I guess I like them gay ships cause I love kyoxyuki Imma hoe for that and have read so many fanfics for that (it’s hard to find cute ones they’re all smut honestly) ….. Does that answer your question at all?

[tsuki-art]

"Let's create beautiful memories together"

[bariastone]

Here’s the sin of the week

[zodiacursed]

I have come to the realization that the KyoxYuki ship wouldn’t be 100% fluff, and it wouldn’t be 100% angst either. The ship, once they got to the relationship point, would still have bumps.

and that’s okay.

Ships don’t need to get along 100% of the time to be healthy. Just because a couple argues or has differing viewpoints doesn’t make it toxic. The point it would become that would be how often it occurs, I would think. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows, I’m sorry.

I have been looking for a ship that’s not 100% perfect and I have found it in KyoxYuki.
