Fruits Basket Another, Vol. 1

Love this as the sequel to my favorite series

It wasn't encased in any way so it got scratched on the way here, otherwise it's a great manga

Tive que comprar versão em inglês mesmo. Eu amo esta autora todos os trabalhos publicados aqui no Brasil eu tenho. Somente este tive que comprar em inglês mesmo

The core plot is just a re-tread of themes explored in the original (socially awkward, insecure girl taken under the wing of an ever-growing party of handsome strangers) but it's done well, the humour is great and it was compelling enough for me to order the other two volumes as soon as I finished reading.The main reason to read it, though, is for the satisfaction of confirming if the Sohma couples (at least those revealed so far) panned out and had kids, what side-characters ended up doing, and the occasional references to the old characters (particularly, one now notorious uncle).In short, I'd describe it as wholesome fan service and worth reading if you're happy with more of the same.

I don't think anyone coming to this manga for the first time will get a great experience out of it- if you don't know what to hold your breath for, things like random character introductions and names mentioned in passing won't make much sense to you. But if you're someone who read through the original and it was important to you, this was a fantastic follow up. There are a few minor characters from the first series that show up, but mostly, familiar characters are mentioned by nothing more than name, or as someone's family member.
