Spoiler Time Sunday: The Thing About Furuba is

The thing about Furuba is that you still watch/read it despite all these plots twists and pains…

Hi, dearies!

Welcome back to a Spoiler Time Sunday, which already has multiple entries, in case you want to spoil your fun or just know more about a favourite book, anime, show.

This Sunday will be for Furuba or Fruits Basket, which became a favourite of mine after watching about three episodes of the 2019 Anime Version of the manga, I was hooked, I was sold after the first episode even. The intro, I was there, in it.

Now, you see I am a fan of it, I like it. But I am a realistic person, and I know that if you look to close into things (shows, stories, character’s background) then you really get like: wow, seriously? Is that truly how it is?

So, today, I am doing that with Furuba because I enjoy rambling about these random things.

First off, this is my warning, there are spoilers as per the whole point of this blog post, spoilers ahead, this is my warning.

Is Horimiya an acquired taste or an innate one?

It was an instant enjoyment of Horimiya, but is it an acquired or innate taste? For others… what is it like?

Hello, everyone! 💬

I was going to do this and discuss whether Horimiya was an acquired taste or not, but looking further into that expression and what actually means, it might have been an innate taste for me.

So, an acquired taste is when you get accustomed to something after going over and over to it, right? And that might be the case for some.

Spoiler Time Sunday: Horimiya’s FAQ

Hori-san to Miyamura-kun, the anime and manga that you soon discover is very cool and want to know more about.

Welcome, dearies! 🧁

A new Sunday, a new Spoiler.

Why Horimiya? Because I was looking for a photo and saw these questions that made me snort and answer in my head, and so here we are… was that convincing? Lol. It’s partly true, the other half of that is that I like talking about stuff that I like a lot and have watched a bunch of times, sue me! 😅

Anyways… I hope you are here because you want some spoilers about Kyouko and Izumi because I am going all in without a filter. 🤭
