A Sweet Story for a Sweet Day

Valentine’s day is a holiday set aside for love and care. I’m sure you already heard this like a million times, but I’m going to say it one more time for the people in the back: VALENTINE’S DAY IS NOT JUST FOR COUPLES.  If you have been feeling stressed and overwhelmed take this Sunday as a pamper and love day. If you and a S.O, friends, or family are having an indoor day, I have a series for you that is available on Hulu. The best part, it’s an anime series, so if you are a sucker for a sweet, slightly romantic, and drama-filled show that will give your brain a nice cup of serotonin, then watch Fruits Basket!

So here’s the rundown with no spoilers: there’s a cute, clumsy high schooler who is having a tough time trying to get into college. She is also going through it all alone. Until one of her classmates lends her a helping hand. While becoming acquainted, she accidentally discovers the classmate’s family secret, which in the end makes them closer. However, the deeper you get into the series, the more family members you meet, and it gets even more dramatic. By drama, I mean some emotional trauma. Thankfully the spicy jokes (wink wink) and romantic tension make up for it. It’s what I like to call a balanced show.

It’s a very tear-jerking series that made me cry, and I didn’t even cry at the end of the final Avengers movie (I know right). I’m hyping this up, but it’s that great in my opinion. I recommend settling in with some comfort food and a fluffy blanket. This tv series is a way to enjoy your Valentine’s Day!
