Is Fruits Basket a re-read? For some reason I thought you were already familiar with it--or had you only seen the anime? And if it's your first time reading it, out of curiosity, why did you drop it?
I'd never seen the anime or read the manga before - and it just didn't click with me. Some of my friends encouraged me to give at least the next volume a try, but with over 2000 books on my to-read list, it isn't a high priority at the moment.
Hmm. Okay. I usually find that with manga, I really have to read at least two or three volumes to know if they're any good or not, just because it takes that many pages to get the right amount of story out. But that's just me. Fruits Basket is my favorite manga, and in my top five favorite stories ever, of any medium, so I hope some day you'll consider giving it another chance. :)
I'm not in any way saying that the book was bad - it just didn't particularly grab me. There is plenty of manga that does manage to grab me in the first volume, this just wasn't one of them. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but right now it's not a priority.
