Fruits Basket / Natsuki Takaya / Vols. 9-13: 976 pgs.

The first story arc of this series vols. 1-8 is also covered in the TV Anime Series.  Teens who love the show will be pleased to learn that the story continues for another 12 volumes.  In volumes 9-13, you get more of the back story of several of the Zodiac members.  I especially liked learning more about the character's parents since they live apart from them. 

This graphic novel is rated T (ages 13+) which I would say is appropriate.  There are a few sexual innuendos that are funny, but would most likely go over the heads of younger readers.  Other than that the story is about characters that are dealing with a family curse in their own way.  Every chapter has a little reflection at the end about what it means to live even when there are hardships in your life.
