Covers all three volumes of Fruits Basket another by Natsuki TakayaWould you like to have another basket of fruit? Natsuki Takaya shows us what the kids of everyone from the original Fruits Basket cast are like in this sequel to the blockbuster series. Another centers around Sawa Mitoma, aka NegaTohru, as she suffers abuse from her single mother and meets the Sohma kids in high school. In this podcast, Fruits Basket fanatic Jacob and Shojo & Tell host Ashley get into whether this sequel series stands on its own, whether it's worth reading, how Takaya handles the same themes but with different power dynamics between the characters, and of course, and who the best Sohma kid is. (They may all love each other, but remember: The curse is family.)REFERENCESFruits Basket another is available from Yen PressYou can listen to our podcasts about the original Fruits Basket series hereWe assume that Hatsuharu and Isuzu's kids are named after Riku and Sora from Kingdom HeartsOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACTJacob on Twitter: @weebservationsSupport Jacob on Patreon or through Ko-fiShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter: @AshMcD00NOTE: We recorded this episode before the passing of Anime News Network's Zac Bertschy, who was Jacob's former partner.The next episode will cover volumes 1-9 of Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time by Tohko Mizuno, with guest Asher Sofman.
