Curses and True Forms: Reading Fruits Basket as a lesbian

Content warning: discussion of homophobia, both societal and internalized; familial abuse

Spoilers for Fruits Basket (manga and 2019 anime)

Though its name is fruity by nature, the best-selling and beloved Fruits Basketisn’t necessarily the first title that comes to mind when I think “queer manga.”

The first time I read the series, this wasn’t exactly a surprise to me. Despite shoujo manga serving as the foundation for both early BL (boys’ love) and early yuri, collective memory of 90s/early 2000s shoujo manga tends to center zany, at times melodramatic, and above all very straight plotlines. Even when these stories are riddled with queer subtext, it’s most likely by accident or intentionally played for laughs. The main or “serious” aspects of these stories always stay within the safety of cisheteronormativity… or do they?

In the article “The Transient Queerness of Fruits Basket,” Garrick Shultz gave an excellent critique of the problematic handling of queerness within Fruits Basket. Her analysis is thought-provoking and solid, and I offer my perspective not in opposition, but as a reclamation of sorts.

As a lesbian, Fruits Basket was not written for me. Even so, the romance between Kyo and Tohru resonates deeply with my experience of queerness.
