1. Initial Impression: This comic is in Manga form. Manga is the Japanese version of American comics. The art is very different but it has specific qualities that are important to the way it works. These comics are read from the back to the front or the book.
I like this comic because it centers on a young girl and her teen romances. But the twist is that each character has a strong connection to their zodiac sign and is affected by each other.
2. Rhetorical Analysis: The purpose of this comic is to show that people are more than just faces. We have deeper connections to our zodiacs than we may think and these connections change the course of our lives. We may butt heads with others who share the same sign. But we may also fall in love with someone who has a sign that complements our own. This comic brings out feelings of romance, hope, and conflict. All these feelings compiled create a great story. The intended audience for Fruit’s Basket is definitely teenage girls. The story revolves around love and friendship, two themes in every girl’s life. The tone is love sick and sweet.
3. Analysis question: Why is the girl so smitten with the boy in this comic?
I think she likes him because they have a deeper zodiac connection with each other, even if they are unaware of it.
The two main characters in Fruit’s Basket have a deep connection with each other because of their zodiac signs. The two of them never fight and they have an understanding between them that brings peace into the hectic house they live in.
