Synopsis

The story circles around our main character Hondu Tooru (Tohru) and the cursed children of the zodiac. Hondu Tooru's mother has passed away leaving her alone in the world. The ditzy girl is determined to do her best and continue her school life despite living in a tent. She ends up camping in the garden of the Souma's and this is where our adventure begins. Our unfortunate Souma's live under the curse of the zodiac so that every time they are hugged they transform into their corresponding zodiac animal. It makes for some true comedic moments and will definitely make you smile.


Verdict

One of the cutest anime's I have ever watched with a lovely story and wonderful characters. Every so often it will throw you into a plunge pool of emotion which takes you completely off guard. All in all it is a wonderful story with characters that you can love and sympathise with. Sometimes I think everyone just needs a hug.
