I became a huge fan of Fruits Basket after I watched the entire season on netflix (Yes, I am one of those that stayed up all night just to watch an entire season and fall in love with it 😀 ). From there I had to know more of what happened to all the characters, Do Tohru and Kyo ever finally make their love work? Who does Yuki fall in love with? Do they ever break the curse?
Of course after just a little research I found that all my answers were in the Fruits Basket Manga. I eventually read all of those (that took a lot longer than 1 night hahahaha).
After my discovery of such a wonderful anime, I began making cubeecrafts of my favorite characters. It turns out that many of you love them so much that I am getting requests for other Sohma family members.
Today’s cubeecraft is of Momiji Sohma. He is the rabbit of the Chinese Zodiac. Momiji is a very cheerful boy who is often mistaken for an elementary school student although he is 15 years old. Even Tohru fell for his cute young boyish charm, making her think he was a cute little kid instead of a teenager.
Momiji, while most of the time appearing bubbly and happy, also has a tough past like most of the Sohma family zodiac members. His mom could not handle the idea that her son changed to a rabbit every time he was hugged by a member of the opposite sex. She eventually had her mind erased so that she wouldn’t lose her sanity. Momiji knows who his mother is but his mother is to never know who he is. While he sometimes appears sad over these events, he never really lets it bring him down. He is often overly excited and an annoyance to Kyo (but in all honesty who doesn’t annoy Kyo LOL).
