Not really. Not a lot of Furuba fanart out there, sadly.

That's a shame, the author draws the most beautiful guys I've seen. There a number of doujins out there that have captured the style very well. Apparently it's an easy style.

Agreed. It's so annoying. As if it was unthinkable for a shoujo manga character to remain SINGLE.

Closet-case mangaka is clooooooseeeettttt.

Seriously, no one writes a manga that full of homosexual subtext and then *forces* heterosexual normality onto *every* character without having some personal issues.

Okay... I watched Furuba, but had no real desire to search for doujinshi for it, so that might be why I don't know about this. However, since I started coming to 4chan a few days ago I've seen various angry statements about the mangaka... Is she doing something to prevent doujinshi and fanart or something?

No, all she did was make some of the "supposed" gay characters date women instead.

*blink* That doesn't seem like much to start an uproar over... especially since 9 times out of 10 people don't pay attention to canon when they're pairing anyway.

Don't know what your problem is. The author likes to draw hot guys who seduce the women in the story. The yaoi suggestions are hardly present and playful jokes, making fun of the tendancy to assume that just because they're drawn beautifully people think the characters are gay.

Sorry to say most of her characters were gay. but shes apperantly a homophobe or something cause she started bitching and ranting at fans who did yaoi fanarts and fanfics. so she made female characters to pair up every guy.

If can actually sit there and say that there were hardly any gay moments and that characters arent gay, theyre just beautiful. then you clearly havent seen much of this.

Bitching and ranting? o.O; Hmm...

Furuba was oddly one of the series that I didn't get a slash pairing out of. (My OTP there is Kyou/Touru =D)

Did you watch it completely then? kyo/yuki, yuki/haru, akito/yuki, ayame/shigure, hiro/momiji, momiji/haru, hatori/ayame...the pairings are endless. how can you not catch at least one pairing in an anime full of bishounen?

No they didn't. And what's freaky is that they gave her a definitively masculine voice.

I fail to see the problem here. As fans, you can ship whatever pairings you want, regardless of the characters' canon sexualities. As the creator of the series, she can do whatever she wants with her own characters. It's a shoujo manga. What's the big deal?

so? Akito wasn't grouped with anyone before then. It was revealed Akito was female in the same volume if not chapter that she was shown kissing with Kureno.

I know very little about manga Furuba, actually, aside from having seen the boobage picture of Akito and knowing that it goes further than the anime does.

What I meant was that the reason she had such a masculine voice in the anime is because everyone thought she was a he. If you think about it, considering the anime stopped before her gender was ever concretely revealed, one could consider anime!Akito to be completely male...

Oh so sorry, thought you were arguing that the author was enforcing a gay relationship because of the relationship with her and certain other characters.

Yeah that's true. It's too bad the way things turned out with the anime, they had to fabricate an ending for the anime because the manga hadn't yet finished explaining some things. And now they couldn't possibly make another season (now that the publications are done) because of the anime ending, even though the fans would kill for one.

The thing that irritates me about the Fruits Basket manga is honestly that all the female characters the author suddenly pulled out of her ass are BORING. They all suddenly start showing up around the same time and ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE gets hooked up with another generic female.

I think the reason the average fan is PO'ed is because the author used yaoi/shounen-ai subtext to attract readers, and then suddenly went "OH LOLZ I WAS JUST KIDDING IGNORE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED UNTIL NOW"

It honestly doesn't help that her art isn't that good..the anime character designer really did a great job with the series, you can actually tell the characters apart from one another..in the black and white manga, there are about five girls at school who look exactly like Tohru if she doesn't have her little hair ribbons.

But yeah, blah blah blah, why did I read it if I think it's so bad? I don't think it's terrible, it was funny and I cared about the characters..up to a point. But then I stopped caring.

In the end, I just do as a friend of mine once advised: just watch the anime, and say 'and then one day, the Sohmas all discovered that if they took a bath in butter, the curse would be lifted. And it was. The end.'
>> Namefag
I always thought the style was very ugly and unattractive... only a few of the characters were drawn any good, and all the girls seemed to look the same.

Second'd. You know how we can fix the problem between "fat yaoi fangirls" who happen to hate the fact that characters we've wasted our time on for the span of the manga only to pair up with some sudden, random, boring-ass broad and those Fruits Basket defender trolls?

FRUITS BASKET SUCKS. PERIOD. The author is a controlling bitch who added lures to get people besides the usual moronic shoujo fanfare to read her shitty manga with the terrible art, the whole plot is incredibly stupid and overdramatic, and the fanbase is 13 year old morons.

Shoujo fucking sucks.

Certainly not in this shit of a shoujo hellhole. Or in animu, period. Even once-good comics like Yami no Matsuei fell into the pit of suck (although YnM was always kind of shitty to begin with.)

Just say no to Fruits Basket.

Lol. Wow. Just wow.

Someone asks if "Hatsuharu is a regular" in hopes of receiving some nice art, and it turns into "HOMOPHOBIA!! ROOOOOOOAR! BUTTSECKS NAO PLZ!!"

Heaven forbid homosexuality exist in canon. Yes, yaoi is fine. Yes, I read the entire thread.

No, you fucking suck if you think that heterosexuality is at all a bad thing. WHICH CLEARLY YOU DO IS YOU FIND THE AUTHOR IS A "CLOSET CASE" FOR FUCKING PAIRING THEM OFF.

Ever think that, maybe, just maybe, the mangaka seen the kind of bullshit pairings that came from her work and decided to pair them off just to shove the heterosexuality in the online author's face?

Not ever mangaka out there creates a character for the sole purpose of seeing, or reading about, their character rammed in the ass by someone completely random that may be attractive.

Think about it.

You missed the point. Very few people would have a problem with these pairings if they weren't just suddenly and randomly created with no lead up or even a real basis to them. This goes for any show/game that does this, not just Furuba. There was no development whatsoever, it was last minute mass-Mary-Suing. Some characters who people didn't even know existed or who were so minor they likely completely forgot about were brought in and all the main characters were suddenly acting like they'd had a major role and had always been around. The fact is, regardless if you love or hate how Furuba ended up, all pairings except perhaps one was completely pulled out of thin air at the last minute. Anyone who tries to argue that she had these pairings planned all along is retarded because anyone who read it can clearly see otherwise. They aren't saying "OMG THERE'S NO BUTTSEX I WANTED BUTTSEX FUCK U AUTHOR!" but rather "WTF R U DOIN THESE PEOPLE HAD NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL WHY U MAKE RANDOM COUPLINGS OUT OF NOWHERE FUCK U AUTHOR!"

fkking drama! gawd. why can't we all just get along. read the whole thread and I must know. examples or your arguments are Bull. which pairings to do consider pulled out of her ass? cuz i'm pretty damn positive we knew about tohru and kyou all along. as for kureno and Uo It wasn't all that random either. both characters were around from the start. hana wasn't really paired with anyone so cut that shit out. and anyone who has issues with akito just neet to STFU. its been in the story all along that she was fukking shigure. so where are these random pairings of which you speak?
