Can anyone tell me where I can read the Fruits basket books online?
Actually I'd like to download the chapters and then read them when I have time.
So, who do you get yours from, and who has the best translation?

Gomen ne, If someone has already answered this above.
I've only just finished book five, and I didn't want to come across any spoilers, so I didn't read the thread!
try directmanga.com.. that' where i'm STILL getting them.. LoL.. i got up to 24 and then stopped.. :P i'm d/ling them again now but.. :)

Why not support the Manga and buy it, besides it's kinda illegal with still having scanlations because they're not suppose to have anymore since it is licensed by TokyoPop, but I don't know.

I'd buy the books.
They are only up to number 8 here though, and they are up to 16 in Japan.
It seems like everyone here has read past number 8!

I've actually never read ANY manga online. I prefer the Del Rey translations for Tsubasa and xxxHolic, so I'm just waiting even though I think most people have read ahead!

I would like to go ahead and read Fruits basket up to what they are at in Japan though.

There are 16 in Japan so far. Number 17 comes out in May I believe.
Here we are only up to number 8.

I've only seen a little of the anime so far, and I think that the manga is a lot more involved. Plus the anime ends around book 6! So, you are missing everything after that, which would be more than half the story, and it's still going!
The anime is good though, if you want to see scenes from the first six books.
And the seiyuu are really good.

Arigatou for giving me the download site, ani!

maybe one of the reasons they did the anime is to get them into it, wanting more, and having them then buy the manga ^^

It looks like Direct Manga goes up to chapter fifty-something (can't remember exactly). That should probably go through about book 9 or so.

I'm getting ahead of myself here because I haven't read them all yet, but if anyone knows where to get the rest of the chapters that are out in Japan I'd be very grateful for the links!

Oh man, I never even guessed about Akito!
I'm only on book 7.
That's okay though. It's not as big of a spoiler as some of them!
Luckily, it's the only one I've seen!

I really wonder about that. Will TRC anime cover ALL the books?
It kinda would seem strange to me for Clamp to put out an anime that doesn't cover the beginning through the end.

If they add up another round of episodes that would be cool~ :D but then again there were a LOT of parts that the anime missed in the manga... so I wonder how they're going to do that *thinks* -_-
