Happy lunar new year everyone!

It's the year of the tiger, which means, as a Fruits Basket fan, it's Kisa's year. And last year was the year of the Ox so (last night? Tonight? I feel uncertain when exactly) Hastsuharu and Kisa probably did a very delicate dance together. (Although I honestly think after the curse is broken, most of the zodiac members are going to spend every new year very drunk. But Kisa is young enough that it might not mess her up as much and she and Haru seem to have a good relationship, maybe they will hang out.)

(No, I'm not watching the new Fruits Basket anime. I always liked manga better than anime, I have Too Many Things To Watch These Days*, and I'm realllllllly not interested to see a fandom blow up depending on how they portray Akito. Just....no. Nope. No thank you.)

*CRITICAL ROLE. THERE IS TOO MUCH OF IT.

So, this is the weekend where I NEED, ABSOLUTELY MUST get down to studying for finals because stuff slid during the semester and I need to outline and law school is the hardest.

So naturally I decided this weekend was the best possible time to get back into manga fandom.

GOOD JOB, SELF.

Anyway, I recently re-read the last four volumes of Fruits Basket, the manga of my teenage soul, and I was trying to find any good fanfiction for it (spoilers: impossibly task) and then I found out THERE IS A SEQUEL MANGA CURRENTLY BEING PUBLISHED IN JAPAN.

O.O

I might have found this news out earlier had I been on tumblr, the land where even obscure fandoms live on in gif reblogs, but instead I googled LIKE A MAD FAN PERSON and found:

1) News releases in English
2) scanlations ETA: MOAR scanlations!
3) FAN SPEKULATION

Apparently Fruits Basket: Another is being released to commemorate collectors editions of the original Fruits Basket manga. With new covers and colored pages, which isn't so much that I need to mourn the fact that Tokyopop no longer publishes manga and IDEK WTF they are anymore, right? RIGHT???

*clutches my emotionally constipated faves*

ETA2: Aaaaand I found the [community profile] fruits_basket DW community and posted. Because the Fruits Basket LJ community that Fanlore links to is deeaaaaaaad.

Also, just because I'm an idiot, I watched 20 episodes of Nana to cap off my masterful procrastination techniques.
