Fruits Basket's Natsuki Takaya Ends In Such a Small World Manga
posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The romance manga centers on Sui Onodera, a 23-year-old who lives in an apartment. One day Sui's neighbor Kaoru Seto barges in, explaining that his dog Tino has somehow ended up on Sui's balcony. Through this meeting, Kaoru integrates himself into Sui's life.
Takaya launched the manga on Manga Park in September 2023. Takaya initially stated that she plans to write 10 chapters for the manga, and it reached up to 11 chapters (with the first and last chapters divided into four parts), excluding the prologue chapter and the epilogue chapter.
The manga's two compiled book volumes will release this fall.
Takaya serialized the original Fruits Basket manga in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine from 1998-2006. Tokyopop released the manga in English from 2004 to 2009, and Yen Press re-released the manga in 12 updated omnibus volumes beginning in June 2016.
Takaya launched a sequel manga titled Fruits Basket Another on the free "HanaLaLa online" website in September 2015, and ended the series with its fourth volume in February 2022. Yen Press published the manga in English.
The original manga inspired a television anime adaptation in 2001. The manga then inspired a new anime adaptation that premiered in 2019. Fruits Basket 2nd Season then premiered in 2020 and Fruits Basket the Final premiered in 2021. The Fruits Basket -prelude- film premiered in February 2022.
Yen Press has also published Takaya's Liselotte & Witch's Forest and Twinkle Stars manga in English.
