Fruits Basket is finally about to finish up with its third and final season. This has been years in the making—as the original anime released in 2001 failed to adapt most of the series. In season two, the happy-go-lucky atmosphere of the show faded away to reveal its dark innards. No one in the Sohma family is truly happy, and the amount of abuse and suffering that both Kyo and Yuki have gone through in their lives is immense.
Even characters like the cheery Momiji and eccentric Shigure weren't exempt from the Sohma family's twisted ideals. Season three will finally sever the ties of the cursed Sohma's and conclude the show's various storylines.

At the end of season two, it was revealed that Akito is a girl—and the season three preview revealed there is more to her twisted nature than viewers may have thought.

2 Does Kureno Choose Arisa Or Akito?
Kureno is currently in a twisted love affair with Akito even though he has been freed from the curse. Despite meeting Arisa and falling in love with her, he is bound to follow Akito around despite his true feelings.
