You could try 'Ao Haru Ride'. It shares the elements of young love and emotional growth that make Fruits Basket so appealing. The character development and relationship dynamics are quite engaging.
I'd recommend 'Kimi ni Todoke'. It has a similar sweet and heartwarming tone like Fruits Basket, with charming characters and touching storylines.
