Fruits Basket

Editions and box sets

Check the named run as well as the book number; these collections can cover different parts of the story. Each edition has a page listing every book in it, with its ISBN and release date.

Which edition to buy

Start with Collector’s Edition 1 to try the manga. The checked inventory covers twelve separately sold Yen Press Collector’s paperbacks and the Complete Box Set. Older Tokyopop books, Fruits Basket Another and supplementary stories are outside this scope.

Each Collector’s book is listed at $20 US: $240 for twelve. The box is also listed at $240, with new covers and lenticular cards. Yen Press’s October 8, 2025 promotional image shows twelve Collector’s books numbered 1–12 and the cards. It establishes the advertised count, not identical interiors, bonus pages or individual ISBNs against separately sold books.

A complete Collector’s shelf already contains the main story; buying the box repeats it. Continue using Collector’s numbering. Crossover points with older English editions remain unverified, and this catalogue gives no anime continuation or current-stock promise.

Lines from this series

• “As they played the game...I waited for someone to call "onigiri." But no one called. I was very little then. I had almost forgotten about that. But they knew...there would never be room for an onigiri...in a fruits basket.”

  Tohru Honda · Fruits Basket What the Japanese does→

• “A lot of people are too scared to admit that they're still children. They do everything they can to avoid it. So people who can admit that have a lot of courage.”

  Tohru Honda · Fruits Basket The strongest objection, answered→

• “Being away from everyone else may be lonely, but being away from you will be even lonelier.”

  Tohru Honda · Fruits Basket Read against the character's own history→

• “Maybe I'm not perfect. Maybe I have a long way to go. But someday... someday I'll be able to stand and walk on my own. Without hurting anyone... and without being a burden.”

  Kyo Sohma · Fruits Basket What the line costs later→

• “Be selfish, say what you want once in a while. It's okay to let yourself be sad.”

  Kyo Sohma · Fruits Basket Set against another series→

• “It's okay to feel weak sometimes. It's okay to be afraid. The important thing is that we face our fears. That's...that's what makes us strong.”
