Seeing Machi and Kakeru interacting with Yuki, none of them knowing how much they're going to mean to each other makes me cry so much aaaaaa
In the school trip episode (17) Thoru thought something among the lines of "Someday will I also be pushed away in the same way?" about Kyo and knowing that they'll end up together and live happily ever after is just,, absolutely destroying me, I literally had to lay down for a bit after that. Every Kyoru moment is poetic cinema to me

Don't even get me started on everyone's backstories, they're so heartbreaking, but well written as well. The fact that at the end everyone lives happily is such a comfort thing for me that I can't even describe it in words. I'm so glad that fruits basket portrays so many things that people can not only relate to, but also at the end find comfort in. The representation of many uncommon things which are actually thought through in the story is great and I highly respect the author for that!
