juunishi is a Chinese zodiac :)
Yes, in the manga and anime series Fruits Basket, the characters are based on the Chinese zodiac animals, each representing a specific year in the zodiac cycle. The main character, Tohru Honda, for example, represents the Year of the Ox.
The 12 animals of the Zodiac are known aså二支 (juunishi) in Japanese. They are:å (nezumi) - rat 丑 (ushi) - ox 寅 (tora) - tiger 卯 (usagi) - rabbit/hare è¾° (tatsu) - dragon å·³ (hebi) - snake 午 (uma) - horse 未 (hitsuji) - sheep/ram 申 (saru) - monkey é…‰ (tori) - rooster 戌 (inu) - dog 亥 (inoshishi) - boar
Tohru talks to Akito and they become friends. After that, Akito has changed a lot. Eventually, he decides to take back the curse, which was never meant to be a curse at all. Kyo asks Tohru if he can hug her, even though he'll transform. He hugs her, and he doesn't become a cat! Then, Yuki is taking to Machi, and here's what happened:Yuki: It's something I definitely have to te-And you are the last. Thank you for keeping that old, old promise.Machi: Student President...?Thank you. Good bye.The 12 Juunishi's long banquet has come to an end. For the first time ever, with lots of uncertanty and some hope, they are free at last.Then he hugs her ( and doesn't transform) and.. kisses her. TT.TT I felt I was being cheated on.Akito had lifted the curse. Since she is the reincarnation of God._____I will always love Yuki Sohma.
