The ending of Fruits Basket is quite touching. All the characters find their own paths to happiness and closure. Tohru and the Sohma family overcome their curses and build a new life together.
The Fruits Basket anime ends approximately at a certain point in the manga, but it's not an exact match. Some storylines might be slightly different or left out.
Definitely! There's plenty of romance in the Fruits Basket manga. The interactions and developing feelings between the characters create a charming romantic atmosphere throughout the story.
One plot idea could be that the OC is a new student at the school Yuki attends. They accidentally bump into each other in the hallway, and Yuki's polite apology makes the OC intrigued. As the story progresses, the OC discovers Yuki's secret about being a part of the Sohma family and helps him come to terms with his insecurities regarding his place in the family and among his peers.
The relationship could develop uniquely if the OC is an artist. The OC could see Yuki as a muse and start drawing him. Yuki, who is not used to being the center of someone's creative attention, becomes curious about the OC. This mutual interest in art and the OC's view of Yuki as more than just a student or a zodiac member can lead to a deep and different kind of relationship.
