**SPOILER ALERT**

I've always loved that Fruits Basket isn't a story that seeks punishment at all costs. That it takes on a path more secluded, of understanding and acceptance, which can be harder to cross but so much more fulfilling in the end. 

And I find myself at loss for words. 

I truly believe that I'll bring this story with me for my entire life and maybe that's all I need to say about it. 

And now that I've finished the anime, a re-reading of the manga is in order.
