In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Avary aka Kyoruyeye discuss the film Fruits Basket Prelude. Kyoko Katsunoma, a struggling teen with a poor relationship with her parents and a history of gang involvement, meets Katsuya Honda, a student teacher on a day she decides to attend school. He sees her pain and anger and gives a voice to it, and the two bond and become close quickly. Their love story unfolds on screen, ultimately bringing Tohru Honda into the world, but it ends abruptly with Katsuya’s unexpected death, and the impact it has on Kyoko and Tohru is immeasurable. Get ready for a heaping portion of hot fudge!
