Fruits Basket my darling, my always

[timepiececlock]

I...I...just got spoiled for Fruits Basket.

...!!!!!!

It was a one-word mood spoiler, really. Barely even constitutes a spoiler. But at the same time, it's a huge spoiler, depending on how the reader views mood spoilers. For me, sometimes, mood spoilers are much worse than plot spoilers.

I found out... that it has a happy ending.

That's good, right? I mean, I figured it would... logically of COURSE it would... but I would rather have experienced it myself, let the angst and tragedies of the Sohmas loom as a possibility right up until the last page.

Oh well. Just because it has a happy ending doesn't mean Akito doesn't kill someone before the end. I can see Akito taking out Shigure in a murder-suicide. Anyway, DON'T TELL ME! Spoilers are leperous to me; I didn't even want to know this little and really very guessable one! Silence!

Oh damn, it's been far too long since I read Fruits Basket. I think I stopped somewhere around volume 16... I gave up on scanlations because the translations were becoming unintelligable. I wonder how many volumes are officially in print in the US by now? How many there are total? I should go to Barnes & Noble tomorrow and just read them in the aisles. Graphic novels are great for that; you can finish one in anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

OH MY GOD, IT'S BEEN AGES, HASN'T IT? Since I got a furuba fix. Okay, I'm definitely going tomorrow. I'd go right now but they're closed cause it's way late.

That's a good point about the traveling fool... but then again that story was just a less-awesome version of the giving tree. I think Tohru definitely represents the giver and the Sohmas the takers, but I don't think it forecasts an ending for the show. :shrug: I never cared for the way the parable was used in the manga anyway.
