The ending bonus is a scene from Mutsuki's childhood where he's recounting his fav memory of home with his parents and how he learned about the Zodiac Curse from Yuki. Yes yes I'll try to see them as individuals. And while it's hard not to compare every one against their parents I felt somewhat chastised by Chizuru who apparently is compared against his father (positively and negatively) fairly often. Meanwhile the story itself is better paced and explained - I understand Mitoma better and she plays off Shiki well. I still think that Kinu is Hatori's kid (either Uotani & Kagure's kid or Hatori's), I.haven't seen anything about Ritsu. Hiro is mentioned, though little is said and Kisa not at all. Momo is Momiji's assistant and quite close with Mii.Īyame had two kids - a son Chizuru and a daughter Hibiki (who is a spitting image of her mother but practically Ayame in personality). Momiji and an unknown woman had a daughter, Mii, who's so darling. Hanajima meanwhile appears to have a son as well, Ryo, who is a third year in middle school (but not a Sohma.so then did she not end up with Kazuma?). Some amendments to my Vol 1 review - the kid who is weak and we see at the end of the volume is Shiki, Akito & Shigure's son (a first year middle school student). During her hospital stay, she gained an interest in baseball. Takaya made a full recovery, but complains that her handwriting had gotten uglier, due to the surgery. She had to go into surgery, and as a result, had put Fruits Basket on a brief hiatus. Also revealed in a sidebar of Fruits Basket, Takaya broke her drawing arm (left) after Fruits Basket volume six was published. Takaya also enjoys electronics and music, but dislikes talking about herself. In 2001, Takaya received a Kodansha Manga Award for shōjo manga for Fruits Basket.Īccording to Takaya (in a sidebar of a Fruits Basket manga volume), she enjoys drawing girls (girly ones) more than she does boys. Fruits Basket has also been adapted into a twenty-six-episode anime series. She enjoys video games such as the Final Fantasy series or Sakura Wars, or working on her different manga series, such as Fruits Basket, which is the second best-selling shōjo manga ever in Japan, and the top selling shōjo manga in North America. She was born in Shizuoka, Japan, but was raised in Tokyo, where she made her debut in 1992.

Takaya is left-handed and once revealed that she wanted to be a mangaka since first grade, when her sister started drawing. Natsuki Takaya (高屋奈月 Takaya Natsuki, real name Naka Hatake) is the penname of a Japanese manga artist best-known for creating the series Fruits Basket.
