It has stood the test of time incredibly well + good as a first manga
Furigana are present everywhere.
Fruits Basket is a story like no other, you think it's lighthearted at first and then it dives deep into generational trauma and radical kindness. The premise is really good and fun, and the first few volumes focus on introducing a diverse cast of characters, then it explores their relationships and their past, and it all comes to a very satisfying end.
It's great for language learning as it has so many different characters with diverse speech pattern and different ages and status. I would recommend to watch the newest anime as well, it has modernized a few parts of the series and it is really pretty, on top of following the manga really closely.
