text: can someone please tell me were i can read fruits basket online?   i'll help point you in the right direction, so let's hope i do my best!  first off, if you have a livejournal account, join the livejournal community 'free_manga' ( the link should be down in the sources. ).  once that's finished, head to their profile and check out their tags page.  let me make it clear that you will not be able to check out their tags page, where they house all their anime links and such, without being a member of the community.  if you don't like, i'd go to gotlurk.net.  i'm serious, people think irc is so hard to understand, and i myself was irc stupid until i found this site.  their site has recent manga, and it's not hard to learn how to use irc if you go to their forums.  once in their forums, head to their support page, and it'll teach you all you have to do.  after you get yourself prepared, you'll easily be able to copy and paste the code for the manga into the irc chat, and you'll be able to download it to your own computer.  i'm positive that gotlurk.net/#lurk has fruits basket.  if you wish to choose this direction, you'll need the irc client, mirc.  you can find it at mirc.com.  believe me, it may sound complicated, but i now have all 42 volumes of dbz, and it took me an hour to download 'em.  i know it used to be available on directmanga.net, but i'm not sure if it even exists anymore.  if you don't like any of the ideas i've given you, you should try to search for, "fruits basket manga scanlations" on yahoo or google.  i'm sorry if this is too confusing.  i'm gonna go searching for some fruits basket manga for you, too.  good luck!
