Who will Tohru choose? Kyo or Yuki? *Spoilers* Do you think Kyo and Yuki like Tohru? Who will Tohru choose? Why do you think that?
I have been asking this question many times, but I still couldn't have the answer.

The anime left out an important storyline about a mysterious boy in a cap who helped out Tohru in a specific incident, and who was sort of Tohru's "first love" (that is, she never found out who the guy was, but she always kept that boy's cap and hoped to thank him.)
Well, in the next volume of the manga, we will learn who that boy was. It's Kyo. Or Yuki.
EDIT: after reading volume 9 and reading up on spoilers,
Yeah, it looks like Tohru and Kyo get together. The other side is, though, Kyo has good reason for not feeling like he deserves Tohru's affection. When you find out, you'll be like "holy crap."
If you want hints, reread the last chapter of Volume 4 in the manga. Read Kyo and Hana's words very, very carefully.

hello fruits basket fan! hi my name is kandy and fruits basket is my favorite manga.when I was finish watching fruits basket I was thinking wouldn't it be great if I was like Tohru.I want to be her not because she live with to cute guys but because she is nice and she cares about other.I think Tohru is amazing.I bet girls who watched fruits basket would want to be Tohru.I wonder where the author get his /her idea?it would be so cool if I could meet the author.I also like kyo.I wish some day I would meet somebody like him and I wish there is more to fruits basket.

The manga-ka is really attached to her own mum, and so I think she wanted to write a manga based on family. My hunch is that Tohru was partially based on Anne of Green Gables; their circumstances aren't all that different.
I like Kyo a whole lot more after Vol 11 of the manga. Whereas I feel that the manga-ka's kinda put Yuki into some weirdo, loopy space. It's clear that she really wants to tell Kyo's story.

I don't really have an opinion on this, but anyway i think its more likely for Tohru to go with Kyo.
Quote: BTW, the boy in the hat was Yuki.
@slippy: Which volume have you read up to so far? The artist will talk about Kyo's story later in the manga. Or maybe its out already, i just don't remember. Volume 15 was about Yuki's story.

Up to Vol 11, just before the beginning of their final year in high school. I've read some spoilers up through chapter 90-something or so, but I've avoided looking up the scanlations for 12-15. But if the next release will be really in DECEMBER, I may change that. What the heck?!?
Yeah, at this point, I'd be really surprised if the manga-ka put Tohru with Yuki. Really, really surprised. Really. Basically after Vol. 11, I got the feeling that the manga-ka was closing the door on the triangle. I'm actually more interested in Shigure and Akito, and whether . . .
Quote: Kyoko was a Sohma, after all. I originally was 80% sure of that, because it was obvious after Vol. 4 that Kyo and Kyoko knew each other, and Kyoko's own youth was turbulent, and that she taught Tohru the zodiac story. Though, after Vol 11, it would also make sense if Kyo's foster dad and Tohru's mum had tried dating before, and the childhood incident with Yuki might have involved Tohru's memory being wiped out before. And that led to my hunch that Kyo may have been involved or known of Kyoko's death (again Vol 4), which by default would set up Tohru and Kyo as the principal couple. For me, real closure of the manga would involve with Tohru revisiting the loss of her mother and finding her own salvation through her love for Kyo. It would be GREAT if we found out that Kyoko was a Sohma all along.
I also assume Shigure and Akito were lovers, but somehow the curse destroyed their relationship. I've read that Akito in chapter 90-something is revealed to be a girl. Now, I don't know how the heck what that exactly means; maybe his monster-attitude comes from him being a transgendered?!?. I assume Shigure wants to save Akito by restoring his/her original identity.

Maybe i didn't read the book carefully enough??? I don't recall any of that... Some of that's probably from volume 16, which i haven't read because my sis hasn't bought yet. Not all of them are, though. But i wouldn't have missed such important stuff!!
Quote: I swear i didn't see anything which suggested that Kyoko was a Sohma... Nor anything which suggests that Akito's a girl.

Ah, let me clarify . . .
Quote:
I'm actually not sure whether Kyoko was a Sohma. That's just my guess, which I held to pretty strongly until Vol 11. But, if it turns out that Kyoko got to know Kyo because she was dating his foster dad (and made Kyo promise to take care of Tohru), then it's highly unlikely. I'm still a little confused why Kyo didn't recognize Tohru earlier, or why Tohru doesn't remember her mum seeing other guys. I'm mostly interested in Kyo's place with her death, and why he hasn't said anything about it earlier.
The Akito=Girl revelation, I believe, is supposed to come between chapters 95-100. I learned about that in a FAQ when reading up the differences between the anime and the manga. That, of course, helps to clarify what Shigure is planning.

I think i just missed all of that because i was getting bored with the series so i wasn't really reading properly.

I thought so too, until I read a spoiler that, though the boy was Yuki, the cap actually belonged to Kyo.
Vol 4 of the manga tips off that Kyo knew Kyoko. When they visit Kyoko's grave, Hanajima remarks that she was sensing intense waves of regret and sadness from Kyo. At the end of that chapter, Kyo goes up to Tohru (while she was sleeping) and says "I'm sorry, okay?" I've always read it as Kyo was involved, in some capacity, with her mother's death. But it could also be read as part of the promise that Kyo made to Kyoko, to protect Tohru and/or be her friend.
That also plays into what Kyo says in the first volume of the manga about only saying mean things to her. I think he feels uptight around her, not just because she's a girl, but because of the promise and his personal regret over the situation in their childhood.
When Tohru brings Kyo back in Vol 6 of the manga, there's a shot of Tohru as a child.
In Vol 11 of the manga, at the point Kyo realizes he loves her, there's sort of a flashback where Kyoko meets Kyo as a child and makes a promise with him. I personally think Tohru got her memories of Yuki and/or Kyo wiped out by Hatatori during the main garden at the Sohma estate. That, of course, might play into why Yuki shows Tohru the garden in the first volume. The manga-ka cannily points out that Kyo's foster dad and Kyoko both have similar zeal for their children, and that he tried dating before, but it didn't work out. Hmm . . .
There's another sequence somewhere in the first 5 volumes where you see Tohru promising not to forget. But I think that was from Yuki's memory. My hunch is Akito agreed to Tohru living with the Sohmas, because of went on with their childhood and -- at least from Shigure's point of view -- possibly prior knowledge of Tohru and her connection with the Sohmas. Again, my hunch is that Kyoko was actually a Sohma too. That would make Tohru technically not an outsider.

Quote: The hat is Kyo's because Yuki picked up Kyo's hat but Kyo didn't want the hat back because Yuki had touched it. So Yuki kept the hat. He was wearing the hat because he wanted to escape from the Sohma house.

OH KANDY!!!!!! I AGREE! KYO AND TOHRU FOREVER!!! i think that they will hook up! kyo needs and loves her too much to let her get away!! yuki could have his pick of ladies but kyo (my love!) has only kagura. tohru always did like that cate (if you recall in the first book she said "i liked the cats so much i wanted to be born in the year of the cat" she also said she wanted to be there for the cat so he would never be alone again!) also, i have noticed that kyo protects tohru more dilligently thern yuki. tohru and kyo are also more in touch with each other (even calling each other by first names....well kyo just kinda says "hey you!"). yuki still calls her honda-san (very annoying!). he has to many closed emotions that i don't think he will ever let anyone know. also, momiji is always pointing out that kyo has the "hots" for tohru. mind you, i am not particully (sp?) fond of yuki. however i am fond of other couplings to (tohru x haru) but kyo and tohru are my favorite...if u like that coupling and can't wait till they end up together try fanfiction.com

I'm pretty sure this is how it happened:
Quote: It was Yuki who helped Tohru find her way home, and it was Kyou-kun's hat. That's why he recognized it in volume 2 when Uo-chan and Hana-chan slept over. From what I've read, Kyou-kun and Kyoko-san used to talk to each other. Remember in Volume 11 when in the flashback, Kyoko-san showed Kyou-kun a picture of Tohru? "My Treasure." "I'm sure she's lonely too." Later on, Kyoko-san told Kyou-kun that her daughter (Tohru) was missing, so Kyou-kun vowed to find her. He looked all around and couldn't find her, and when he went to tell Kyoko-san, she said she was already found by a boy (Yuki-kun). Kyou-kun said how Yuki-kun wasn't that great, or something insulting like that, and when Kyoko-san defended Yuki-kun, Kyou-kun got angry and left. He never spoke to Kyoko-san again after that.
And then, years later, Kyou-kun saw Kyoko-san walking across the road, I think, and that's when he was hit by Komako's father's car and killed. Kyou-kun could've saved her, but he would transform, so now he blames himself for her death...
Well, I'm 99% sure that's how it happened.

machi and yuki may end up together because if you read the manga it shows alot of proof,( i think in volume 16,17,or 1 it shows yuki helping machi with the shopping and they hold hands walking together.so i think they might end up together and i did hear that he's going to kiss her to

I wouldn't care much who Tohru chooses between Yuki and Kyo, but I hope it's Yuki. Who's Machi btw? (don't know anything about the manga)
I wonder why everyone here loves Kyo

you're not the only yukixthoru pairing fan I was wishing with all my heart that they will be together,but it had to be kyo.Machi if you were wondering is a student concell(sp) member and is in grade ten(same as hatsuharu)she has problems with her mother and relives her stress by trashing places usually the meeting room.her older half brother is(frogot his name)I totally wished that yuki would end up with thoru but like i said before it's going to be koyxthoru and yukixmachi

well I and some other friends thought that the yukixmachi pairing was too abrupt, his feelings for tohru have been built up since the beginning of the series, then suddenly...he says that she seems like his....mother?!! then suddenly again he develops feelings for machi?!!
It just seemed too fast, like the author wanted to end it fast and purposely pushed for a kyoxtohru pairing, not that I'm against it, but it really didn't seem convincing

I never thought about that, and now that I think about it you're right it does look rushed.But I was really hoping for a yuki and thoru together ending.

'Cause I haven't read the manga,it's kinda irritating to hear that there's so much more in it.
But yeah,I think that Tohru should be with Yuki anyway,'cause he really seems to adore Tohru,and that's pretty important,don't ya think?
But in some way,I'd like Kyo have Tohru,'cause he has experienced a lot,and he would really need Tohru,so it's a fifty-fifty from me.

I hope she goes with Kyo. Kyo has more passion for her but he is unable to show it because of his personality. Yuki can get any girl he wants but Kyo needs Tohru.
