The romance manga revolves around Sui Onodera, a 23-year-old man living in an apartment. One day, Sui’s neighbor Kaoru Seto bursts in and explains that his dog Tino has somehow appeared on Sui’s balcony. Through this meeting, Kaoru integrates into Sui’s life.
Takaya serialized the original Fruits Basket manga in Hakusensha’s Hana to Yume magazine from 1998-2006. Tokyopop published the manga in English from 2004 to 2009, and Yen Press re-released the manga into 12 updated compiled volumes starting June 2016.
