Whats ur fave?

    If you havent heard the story of the cat and the chinese zodiac, then here's a quick summary for ya. A long time ago, god asked all the animals to come to a banquet the next day, at the mountain. "And don't be late!" he said. And so, all the animals were getting ready to go to the banquet the following evening. But, the mischiveous rat decided to play a trick on his neighbor, the cat. He told the cat, that the banquet would be held the day after tomarow. So the next day, all the animals lined up at the banquet hall, and the rat rode all the way there on the back of the cow and landed nimbly, first place in line. After him, fallowed the cow, then the tiger, and the rabbit,etc. The banquet lasted until dawn the next morning. But meanwhile, the cat was sleeping, dreaming of a banquet that would never come. And that is the story. This story took place in fruits basket. Kyo Sohma, a teenage marcial artist, is that cat in the story. Yuki Sohma, known as the school's "Prince Charming" is the rat in the story. When Tohru Honda, a polite, but slightly airheaded girl move into Yuki's home, (for various reasons), her life is turned upside down as she meets the other 11 members of the zodiac. Before Tohru knows what hit her, she learns about the Sohma family curse, and their "bond" to Akito, the head of the family. In my opinion, The Fruits Basket series is by far Natsuki Takaya sensei's best work yet! And if you've already read the series, then you know what I'm talking about. These books are filled with Romance, comedy, mystery, fantasy, and lots of action! But I don't think anyone really knows the secret ingredient to Fruits Basket, except for Natsuki Takaya herself! See if you can figure it out by reading all 23 books, like I did.
