The manga was serialized from 1998 to 2006 and has become one of the best-selling shōjo manga of all time. The story was first adapted into a 26-episode anime in 2001 by Studio Deen. Years later, the series received a complete reboot by TMS Entertainment, which faithfully adapted the entire manga. This new anime ran for three seasons from 2019 to 2021, earning critical acclaim for its emotional depth and beautiful animation.

Fruits Basket is a story about kindness, breaking curses, and finding your place in the world. Its universal themes of family, trauma, and healing transcend language.

While an official dub is a hope for the future, the anime is very much alive and accessible to Kurdish viewers today.
