My Dearest Fruits Basket

I rewatched my dearest Fruits Basket and some unsettling "depressive" feelings resurfaced.

I want Natsuki Takaya to know that even though years already have passed, I'm still suffering—that my beloved Yuki and Tohru didn't end up together, and to rub salt into my chronic wound, she invalidated Yuki's feelings to Tohru, and just randomly paired him with someone else.

I'm fine with the endgame though since I love Kyo as well and they do look good together, considering what they've been through and feelings wise, but the "Mother" scene triggered the shit out of me. It was unnecessary, out of character, and it twisted the story. It wrecked me.

It felt unfair to Yuki. He didn't get the woman he cherished and loved. His feelings to Tohru were invalidated by the Mangaka itself. He got paired with someone out of pity. He was abused as a child. He was taken for granted by everyone.

The Mangaka should've left Yuki's feelings alone, but the Mangaka made it a joke by making the Mother scene. She ruined Yuki's character—she messed us up.

𝐘𝐮𝐤𝐢 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐡𝐫𝐮 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐊𝐲𝐨. I want the world to know that.

I'll never forgive her for ruining a chapter of my life and for ruining the ending of my most cherished and loved series.

I used to love reading and watching the series with elated glee but whenever I'm reminded of how the ending went and how Yuki got badly mistreated by the Mangaka itself, I always get depressed.

I hope in a parallel universe, Yuki and Tohru ended up together, and lived happily ever after.
