Tohru Honda is 16 year old orphaned girl who gets invited to live in the house of her classmate, the handsome boy Yuki Sohma, and his cousins, 16 year old Kyo and 27 year old Shigure. However, these young men and parts of the rest of their family hold a curse; if they are hugged by the opposite gender, they transform into animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Everyday is an adventure for sweet Tohru, as she gets to know everyone in the large family better, in both common and bizarre situations.
