Fruits Basket: Personally, I don't believe any of the people are actually even blood cousins...it's just like if your last name was Johnson and you were to marry another person will the last name Johnson. The only reason they live in such close proximaty to each other instead of being spread out around the nation is because they are in the Zodiac, and Akito demands the Zodiac members to be within distance from him.
DNAngel: (which, by the way, I'm organizing an RP on right now
) Ahh, yes, the ever questionable SatoshixDaisuke pairing. THe same thing happened to me when I got to manga #3. I put the book down and went "Darn it!!! I thought I had found a good series, and they went and put yaoi in it!!!"
After considering this for awhile, I came upon the conclusion that it wasn't really yaoi, and the only reason Satoshi "loves" Daisuke is because he is in the same situation as him (if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's because it doesn't come up until manga#4, or anime episode #4), and he is also the only person who's ever actually been friendly to him.
Needless to say, DNAngel is now tied for my favorite manga series ever. In fact, it's actually tied WITH Fruits Basket!!! XD XP
