Me watching Fruits Basket:
What I thought it would be about: Oh it's a typical shoujo anime with two pretty boys falling in love with the main girl. I can watch it and be relaxed. And they turn into animals! Haha, fun.
What it was: Trauma, PTSD, Parental neglect, isolation, self loathing, self depreciation, depression, physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, guilt, regret, grief, loss, heartbreak.
Now I need therapy.
(PS: as a girl who loves Girly media and Shoujo manga. I am so happy that this is a Shoujo that subverts a lot of people's expectations and makes you understand that Shoujo/Josei are NOT all the same as well as depict such a good story about familial trauma which is something we don't usually get.
I wish we could get more Shoujo/Josei anime each season 🥲)

Another reason why Episode Nagi is a shoujo manga
One thing from Episode Nagi chapter 21 hit me hard. I mean the moment when Nagi was thinking about how Reo believed in him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
No one had ever placed hope in Nagi before. He himself has also never shown any initiative before. Nagi didn't seem like a person who would do something or be motivated to act because he believed in himself.
It wasn't until he realized that someone believed in him. Thanks to this faith, he began to act. And when there was no one around who believed in him, he was left with faith in himself.
However, Nagi would never believe in himself unless someone (Reo) believed in him first. Without it, he would still remain passive and do nothing with his life.
When I noticed this dependence, I immediately thought that a similar philosophy was presented in Fruits Basket (shoujo manga).
I'm specifically talking about story of Kisa, who had problems getting along with her classmates. She received a letter from a teacher who briefly advised her to like herself first so that others would like her.

However, Yuki did not agree with this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When someone likes you, you will like yourself.
When someone believes in you, you will believe in yourself.
In both cases, the entire change depends on the other person. The character won't do much on their own because they need some motivator to influence them.
In Fruits Basket, this should not be surprising, because it is a shoujo manga that will focus on interpersonal relationships.
However, for example, in the main series of Blue Lock, where Isagi is the protagonist, the main character does not really need anyone's help for his development, because he is his own cause. Isagi does everything himself. Yes, he uses the help of others, but it is not perceived that way. He didn't need anyone else to believe in him to believe in himself. (Yes, this could be an example of his initial relationship with Bachira, when Meguru immediately began to have great hopes in Isagi. However, I don't see it as "Oh, Bachira believed in me, now I believe in myself! I wouldn't have gone this far, if it weren't for him.", because Isagi very quickly began to notice his own possibilities, which he was entitled to himself).
But Nagi is not like Isagi. He couldn't do anything on his own. He needed someone who would believe in him. If it weren't for Reo, his life would have come to a standstill. He would have no reason to believe in himself or work on himself.
Nagi is more like a shoujo protagonist who needs the presence of another person to initiate his development. He doesn't necessarily need this person all the time in order to continue to develop, but he certainly wouldn't be able to make any changes in his life without their constant presence in his mind.
And Episode Nagi (compared to Blue Lock) does not focus just on the independent development of the main character, but also devotes a lot of attention to his relationship with another person.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist in Blue Lock. It's just more emphasized in Episode Nagi, in a shoujo manga style.

hnnnnn i know i won’t shut up about this but my god the core themes of fruits basket are placed so well throughout the show. like for example, uotani joins a girl gang because she was emotionally vulnerable and wanted to be in a situation where she could fall as far as she wanted. she grew comfortable. she could make mistakes and take her anger out on others because she already labeled herself as mean and tough. tohru and kyoko help her realize that although she could go ahead and write herself off as a troublemaker, she doesn’t have to. she has her whole life ahead of her to learn and grow and be kind. limiting yourself to the label you gave yourself when you were at your lowest doesn’t do anyone any good.
there’s a similar narrative with kyo and hanajima, they let their mistakes define them and continuously punish themselves for them. hanajima had basically given up on future happiness because she thought her mistake had tainted her forever. eventually she found a way to forgive herself too. kyo was willing to isolate himself until death because he thought he was an irredeemable monster. but the thing is. other people in their lives didn’t want that for them, it wasn’t helping anyone for them to give up on themselves.
this whole idea comes to a head with akito. basically the most extreme and clear examples of this idea. akito surrounded herself with labels to avoid acknowledging anything. she excused herself from moral rules because she was told they didn’t apply to her. she used this easy control she had over others as a shield from facing the truth. eventually though, the shield breaks. she realizes that these rules that she has been ignoring DO apply to her. when you’re in a situation where you’re clinging desperately to something like a lifeline, you don’t really pay attention to how your fingers are digging painfully into it. akito’s whole world has shattered and she does the easy thing to do, label herself as a bad person. but. tohru doesn’t let her. tohru rejects labels like that. which in a sense, allows akito to take accountability. akito is able to acknowledge her wrongdoings and correct them. she’s able to move on from the sohma curse as well. she can be more than what she was.
