Fruits Basket: Anime or Manga?

[EkaCoralian]

The manga, on every level.

Has anyone else noticed how much the artwork style changes during the manga? Some characters looked totally different by the end!

Yeah. I remember getting Volume 14 or something awhile back and staring at one page, thinking, "... Is that Kyo? ... Nah, can't be. ... Is it?!" Ms. Takaya's art style changed as the manga series progressed, yes. She was deciding to change to a new art style about halfway through the series (which I loved, becuse it looked quite unique in my eyes compared to other art styles), and it was good that it changed, because it showed how the characters grew up quite well.

Yes, she obviously improved. It was nearly painful to read the volumes below 14. I think her new art style is much more mature, in a good way.

Reminds me of Black Cat, Rouroni Kenshin, Love Hina, Negima, if to name a few. As the volume number increased so did the prowess of the art. After reading the final few volumes, it gets harder to read the beginning ones.
