Jujutsu Kaisen Yuji Sad and the characters from Fruit Basket having lunch
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jujutsu Kaisen possesses nearly unmatched levels of popularity nowadays, earning sky-high ratings, a widespread and active fanbase, and even recently winning a Guiness World Record for most popular anime. One would expect the series to always come out on top, which made its loss to Fruits Basket in a fan-favorite Barnes and Noble poll astounding.
Furthermore, the series delves into heavier emotional situations than just a typical fighting shonen, exploring the complex interactions between humans and curses and topics like how to continue pushing forward after great loss. Jujutsu Kaisen won a handful of Crunchyroll Awards and was the subject of a 2024 Superbowl advertisement, revealing its cultural relevance. However, while shonen is usually considered the king of anime, it would be better to not sleep on the popularity of shojo.
Fruits Basket's manga is immensely popular, and the accompanying anime series was a smash hit too, especially the 2019 version. The franchise falls under the shojo subgenre, which includes series led by a female protagonist that often focus on romantic plots and slice-of-life moments.
The remarkable shojo series has earned a relatively lighthearted reputation with too many instances of humor and silly interactions between Tohru and the Somas to count. However, what many people who are unfamiliar with shojo don't realize, is that Fruits Basket gets very emotional and profound too, with messages about accepting oneself and others, how to cope with emotional and even physical abuse, and finding one's place in an often unaccepting society.
