I don't know who you are, anonymous rematch, but let me say that you made a good choice! I had actually been looking at Fruits Basket for the past month or so, but hadn't started reading yet. I love myself some shoujo fantasy romance! This has all the elements an enjoyable shoujo should have, and it's a great way for me to start off my collection!

Update: I received a copy of Sand Chronicles, too! The table of contents says "Age 12", and "Age 14" in it, so I think I can see where this is going. I love coming-of-age stuffs! All that romance stuffs is the icing on the cake.

Seriously, rematch santa: You are awesome, and picked out exactly the kind of stuff I'd like.
