Memorable Manga Moments – Fruits Basket vol. 6

Ah, so this week is my favorite moment of Fruits Basket coming out of volume 6. It also happens to be the conclusion to the anime series. One of the most memorable moments from the entire manga. If you haven’t read the series, then this could be a spoiler. ***Fair warning.***





Kyo’s guardian, Kazuma, decides to test Kyo’s resolve when it comes to his fate. He wants to see if Kyo will open his heart to Tohru. He takes off the bracelet that controls Kyo’s second transformation form. A monstrous and foul smelling creature emerges, and takes off running. Shocked at first, Tohru finally goes after Kyo. It’s hard for her, because she is scared and the smell keeps making her wretch. Once she finds Kyo, she tries to get him to go home. Even though Kyo tries to drive her away by scratching her, Tohru stays. She admits she is scared, but she doesn’t want Kyo to go away. She wants them to stay together. Kyo finally transforms back to his human form, and then turns into a cat from hugging Tohru. He is relieved that Tohru accepts him when even his own mother could not. Kazuma realizes that Kyo may finally find value in his existence when he has Tohru to share his experiences with.






An unforgettable moment between Kyo and Tohru, this sets the plot in motion for Kyo and Tohru to have a future together. The revelation of Kyo’s second form is somewhat of a shocker the first time, as is the image Takaya draws. Takaya strips Kyo down to his most vulnerable, stuck in flight or fight mode. When he finally resolves the deep fear, he can’t help but feel relieved. Tohru is so brave in this scene. Her feelings for Kyo overcome her fear of his alternate form. She literally saves him in this scene. Kyo can’t help but love her after this.
