Fruits Basket was my first Manga I read and I decided to try it because of Hannah over at The Rainy Reader. The Fruits Basket story is super fun and cute. I read the first volume of the Collectors Edition and although it took me a bit to get used to the way you read a manga. Read right to left and you flip the pages from back to front.
The story was what initially intrigued me to try reading it. The story is based around a young girl name Tohru Honda. Her mother has recently died and as a result she ends up living in a tent on the private land of the Sohma clan. The owners of the land discover her and Tohru quickly realizes the most popular guy in her school, Yuki Sohma, lives in a house on this land. The family decides to take Tohru in and she discovers their secret… Anytime a member of the Sohma clan is hugged by someone of the opposite gender they turn into the animals of the Chinese Zodiac.
I love all the characters Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo are my favorites so far. Toward the end of this volume you start to meet other members of the clan, and I’m super excited for that! The characters are easy to relate to and I find myself so engrossed in the story that I’m often turning pages without enjoying the art work so I often must go back and check it out. The art work in this story is stunning, the way the emotions jump off the page is brilliant.
My goal this year was to start reading different types of books and break out of my comfort zone a bit. Fruits Basket allowed me to do that! I hope you’ll give it a try.

I loved Kei Sanbe's other manga, "Erased," so I was excited when I saw this book. After reading book 1, I feel like the story is just okay. However, I feel like the story was drug out longer than need be to set the premise. I hope it will pick up speed in the second book. I see where Kei Sanbe is probably trying to go, but I feel like the beginning focused too much on laying groundwork, and didn't have enough of a hook to reel the reader far enough in. I'll still read the second book to see if it moves forward more. It's just a slower pace so far than Erased was at this point. It's definitely Kei Sanbe's drawn characters, though. It looks like they could be in the same community as the characters from Erased.

It's always great to see new how-to books available, I enjoy leafing through them to see what hints and tips I can pick up, this one was an eye opener in as much as it is not for the real beginner. This book would sit well on the shelf of a more intermediate drawer and whilst it does cover basic equipment information the artwork examples and techniques could be off-putting to a beginner or less skilled but very enthusiastic individual. The quality of the instruction is good and allows for you to work through at your own pace although some stages did jump a little on and you needed to have covered all the material previously in order to get it.
Overall, this is generally a good book to have if you are into Manga and enjoy spending time submerged in drawing and creation.
