Tohru Honda is 16 year old orphaned girl who gets invited to live in the house of her classmate, the handsome boy Sohma Yuki, and his cousins, 16 year old Kyo and 27 year old Shigure. However, these young men and parts of the rest of their family (both close and distant) hold a curse; if they are hugged by the opposite gender, they transform into animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Everyday is an adventure for sweet Tohru, as she gets to know everyone in the large family better (especially Yuki and Kyo), in both common and bizarre situations. But, the Sohma Family curse is certainly no laughing matter... it also holds horrible cruelty and heartbreak.

This was the first anime I watched and I couldn’t be happier that this is the one I stumbled on. When I first read the plot I thought it sounded stupid and honestly it took a very boring day to get me to watch it. But once I did I was mad at myself for ever thinking it was stupid. It is a such a sweet show that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. There is nothing super complex here (it does get deep and complex towards the end, but that plot only continues in the manga), but it’s very emotional and will tug at your heart strings. The characters are also very likable (my favourite being Kyo who is so amazing). If you want a light show that will let you express your emotions, definitely watch this one! Don’t let the weird plot steer you away!!
