Fruits Basket (フルーツバスケット)
After losing her mother, Tooru secretly shelters in a tent until a landslide destroys her refuge, leading kind cousins Yuki and Shigure Souma to offer her shelter. Her new home harbors an astonishing secret: members of the Souma family transform into zodiac animals when embraced by the opposite sex, binding them to an ancient curse with depths neither Tooru nor her hosts fully comprehend.
