The Transient Queerness of Fruits Basket

Content Warning: transphobia, queerphobia, gender essentialism

Spoilers for all of Fruits Basket

Fruits Basket is one of my favorite anime of all time. I adore its exploration of how people who’ve suffered incredible trauma can put themselves back together. I adore its portrayal of the radical healing power of kindness as an active choice in a world full of misery. I adore how it showcases the complexities of love and how it can be your greatest salvation if you work to nurture and cultivate it. This show makes me laugh, it makes me cry, but more than anything, it makes me hope. It makes me hope that no matter how bad things get, there will always be a second chance waiting just around the corner. Even two decades after the original manga began publishing, it shines just as brightly.

But I’m not here to talk about how much I love Fruits Basket. Today, I’m here to explore one of its most under-discussed problems: its portrayal of queerness.

Yup. Still thinking of Elation.... this time, my favorite Cat Boy has made me think of my other favorite Cat Boy: Kyo Sohma (Fruits Basket).

And now I’m over here cackling about an AU where Marinette gives Chat Noir the same speech Kyo gave Tohru at the end of the series (post-hospital-release).

*MariChat kiss as per the episode, but Chat Noir doesn’t pull away this time*

*When they do pull apart, Marinette keeps her face dangerously close to his and has a cheeky smile as she blushes and looks away.*

Marinette: “You know, that was our second kiss. Third?” 🤔 Chat Noir: “HUH!? It WAS!? BUT- WHEN!?” Marinette: “You’re gonna have to remember it on your own. If you don’t, then it won’t count. 😉”

In Fruits Basket, since Hatori is the Sohma doctor, do you think that means he acts as a midwife

Probably too young to have delivered Momiji, but maybe Hiro, Kisa and the rest of the non-cursed Sohmas?

I made myself sad, thinking that he's the Sohma midwife in case the mother rejects the baby again (´。＿。｀)

Another reason why Episode Nagi is a shoujo manga

One thing from Episode Nagi chapter 21 hit me hard. I mean the moment when Nagi was thinking about how Reo believed in him.

No one had ever placed hope in Nagi before. He himself has also never shown any initiative before. Nagi didn't seem like a person who would do something or be motivated to act because he believed in himself.

It wasn't until he realized that someone believed in him. Thanks to this faith, he began to act. And when there was no one around who believed in him, he was left with faith in himself.

However, Nagi would never believe in himself unless someone (Reo) believed in him first. Without it, he would still remain passive and do nothing with his life.

When I noticed this dependence, I immediately thought that a similar philosophy was presented in Fruits Basket (shoujo manga).

I'm specifically talking about story of Kisa, who had problems getting along with her classmates. She received a letter from a teacher who briefly advised her to like herself first so that others would like her.

However, Yuki did not agree with this.

When someone likes you, you will like yourself.

When someone believes in you, you will believe in yourself.

In both cases, the entire change depends on the other person. The character won't do much on their own because they need some motivator to influence them.

In Fruits Basket, this should not be surprising, because it is a shoujo manga that will focus on interpersonal relationships.

However, for example, in the main series of Blue Lock, where Isagi is the protagonist, the main character does not really need anyone's help for his development, because he is his own cause. Isagi does everything himself. Yes, he uses the help of others, but it is not perceived that way. He didn't need anyone else to believe in him to believe in himself. (Yes, this could be an example of his initial relationship with Bachira, when Meguru immediately began to have great hopes in Isagi. However, I don't see it as "Oh, Bachira believed in me, now I believe in myself! I wouldn't have gone this far, if it weren't for him.", because Isagi very quickly began to notice his own possibilities, which he was entitled to himself).

But Nagi is not like Isagi. He couldn't do anything on his own. He needed someone who would believe in him. If it weren't for Reo, his life would have come to a standstill. He would have no reason to believe in himself or work on himself.

Nagi is more like a shoujo protagonist who needs the presence of another person to initiate his development. He doesn't necessarily need this person all the time in order to continue to develop, but he certainly wouldn't be able to make any changes in his life without their constant presence in his mind.

And Episode Nagi (compared to Blue Lock) does not focus just on the independent development of the main character, but also devotes a lot of attention to his relationship with another person.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist in Blue Lock. It's just more emphasized in Episode Nagi, in a shoujo manga style.

Confirmation on Yuki’s MC Status & That Scene (Handshake) - Furuba Spoilers

I’m so glad that we have this text from Fruits Basket Another Volume 4 (English Translation). It’s from the note that Takaya-sensei wrote for Season 1 Volume 2 of the DVD/BDs. The transcript is as follows:

When it comes to covers, Tohru-kun comes first, and it’s fair to say that Yuki-kun will always be second. I did that on purpose, because Yuki-kun is the other main character carrying the theme of Fruits Basket on his shoulders...or that’s one reason.

Another big reason is that the first scene I thought of when I came up with Fruits Basket is the scene at the end with Tohru-kun and Yuki-kun. But of course every character is the main character of something.

I hop you’ll watch over Yuki-kun as he fumbles around, reclaiming his real self one step at a time, and learns to grow. Congratulations on the release of Volume 2!

Even though a lot of this information has been said before about Yuki, it’s nice to see it all here in one spot. It makes it really convenient when someone tries to argue otherwise or tries to pull the whole “Yuki’s bond with Tohru was romantic, but then Takaya-sensei decided to go a platonic route instead” kinda stuff. Now we have it stated very cleanly, clearly, and blankly that that isn’t the case, along with confirmation that she does, indeed, see him as the other main character.

SUBMISSION PROPAGANDA:

Saki -

"Goth weirdgirl rights. This post also talks about Tohru (my last submission), but it's got a section on Saki too. https://www.tumblr.com/melokaji/719332406389276672/autistic-coding-in-fruits-basket?source=share "

*note: there are a few submissions where people linked posts-- I will reblog these posts separately.

Richeh -

"her life's purpose is to live her life according to her own rules, regardless of society's rules that don't make sense to her. and she does that by wholeheartedly embracing her special interests of making delicate magic of crystally stuff and shiny ribbons! she's also prone to making lil puns with her name and the names of the other witches in her atelier, and nobody really gets them aside from the people in her found family <3

also (CONTAINS SPOILERS) her brother once told her that he loved her magic just as it was and that he hoped she never stopped making it and being herself (paraphrased cuz i don't remember the actual quote!) and she took that literally to mean that she shouldn't make magic that wasn't the kind of magic that was hers- i.e. shiny, small, ornate, and detailed magic. Being forced to change how she made her magic in order to "do things the proper way" during her original apprenticeship caused her intense distress, and she'd often refuse to do so and would instead think up her own magic to solve problems instead of doing things by the book. Doing that subjected her to harassment and abuse from her original professor, leading to her eventually needing to leave her 'traditional' witch apprenticeship and get her apprenticeship done at Qifrey's atelier, a place far removed from the main witch cities that accommodates her and allows her to grow the way she wants to."

Colour Association with Romantic Interest (OnK/Fruits Basket Spoiler)

As a fan of both these series, I noticed a vague similarity with ships.

Kana’s idol colour is represented through white, which also happens to be Aqua’s favourite colour. 

Similarly in Fruits Basket, Yuki is pinned to be “red” based on the student council being assigned colours, and its later revealed that Machi likes the colour red, which was also hinting at her feelings for Yuki.
