Couple 2! – Tohru and Kyo

No, you don’t have to say anything, I already know. This general post may be met with WTF?! cause it deviates a bit from all the other couples. Well, That’s just to bad, ne?

I wasn’t intending to have Tohru and Kyo in the posts at all, but they just practically kicked my 2nd place couple off the list.

Lately I’ve been having Fruits Basket withdrawls, so I rewatched the entire show for about the millionth time. And though the anime is good, I prefer the manga much much more.

However, I don’t own the manga! T.T

I think the pairing of Tohru and Kyo is perfect. She is an immensely kind person, always trying to do for others and he’s hot headed and loud but shows his affection in very cute ways.

I support this pairing both in the anime and manga, but the manga more cause there is much more romance in there.

Now, I think everything about this couple is cute. The way they met, the fights they have, the way the grow…So on so forth! I especially love the way Tohru is slowly coming to realize her feeling for Kyo in the manga. And that he already knows his feelings for her.

Now, to all you Yuki/Tohru fangirls out there, I’m sorry but no. It’s just not happening. I’m not saying this out of my fangirl passion or anything like that.

But if you read in the manga, you will see that the mangaka is doing a very subtle job in setting Yuki up with Ms. Student Council (I can’t seem to remember her name). And though Yuki does love Tohru we all now know that, but he doesn’t love her in that way.

In the way of Shojo couples, this one is purely just amazing. From the beginning I supported the two of them. Everytime they had a moment, I was completely submersed in fangirl giggles and squeals. I’m very picky about couples and it’s hard to find one that can make me feel that way.

Not to mention the TohruxKyo pairing was one of the ones that originally got me into fangirl shipping. Though I suppose the fangirl thing really began with Inuyasha…

I love Tohru’s characteristics. She isn’t just your average shojo character. There’s more too her than that. The constant kindess she gives to others and her ability to realize their pain and help them begin to heal is a very special quality. I absolutely adore her. A friend mine once said she was too pure and that it got annoying…I almost bit her head off! xD

Kyo’s personality is beautiful as well. Like almost all of the characters in Fruits Basket, he has a dark back story but that’s to be expected. I love that he is loud, and wild but sweet when the moment requires it. I also very much enjoy his hate for leeks, cause it’s just hilarious! And being loved by Tohru most certainly changed his outlook, but not his personality! He’s still the same old loud, hardheaded Kyo. I would be sad if he wasn’t, because the difference in personalities is what gives this couple chemistry.

Tohru and Kyo accept eachother for who they are. Yes, Tohru accepts everyone but it very special when she accepted Kyo.

Kyo is always trying to make her happy in his own way as well.

And though the anime has ended, I will be quite upset if I don’t get to see these two together in the progressing manga.

Especially since Tohru is trying to break the curse to save him. <33

Now, only one couple left….woot! Bet you can’t guess who it is!
