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.'
