History Heartwarming / FruitsBasket

* There's also the part where shy little Machi Kuragi [[spoiler:says she ran all over the school to just say 'hello' to Yuki.]]
** Again with Machi, [[spoiler:at the end of the manga, after the curse is broken, when Yuki hugs Machi for the first time. There's then a heartwarming SayMyName moment between the too.]]

** At the ''very'' end [[spoiler:hearing their grandchild talk about how "lovey-dovey" they are together and seeing the elderly couple walk hand in hand.]]

* Furthermore, Yuki's kindness towards Machi. The very fact that he asks her what her opinion is on things even when they're trivial like what colour she'd like for her pen.
* Why hasn't anyone mentioned the ending of the manga? Spoilers here but to me it's one of the most romantic and at the same time saddest moments in anime and manga history. The way Kyo realizes that he can protect and love Tohru and the fact that he himself was loved was just great and how both Kyo and Tohru reconcile and become a couple is really, really sweet. Lets grow old together indeed...
** And there's Kyo's thoughts: "It's taken me a long time to fulfill my promise, but now I'll keep it for the rest of our lives."

* A non-Tohru example, toward the end of the manga when [[spoiler:the curse is finally broken, and "God," surrounded by the spirits of all the animals from the banquet (including the cat) turns and says thank you and goodbye.]]

* In the final book, [[spoiler:after Tohru gets out of hospital, Kyo has to chase her down to explain how confused his was about her love confession and confesses to her and says how they want to be together. Tohru asks if they can hold hands and they already are. Then he asks if he can hug her. They do. Then there's a {{Beat}} and they realise he hasn't transformed.]]

** There's another one before his curse breaks: Satsuki asks him if he wants to hug his sister, but he declines because he's scared of turning and hurting her. Satsuki reassures him by telling him that if he turns, she'll just hug the both of them tightly.

* Tohru Honda is responsible for several of these: [[spoiler:At the end of Volume 6, where she chases after Kyou, who has turned into a giant, foul-smelling monster. [[IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight Tohru pleads for him to come back home]], saying that she wants to be with him. Kyou turns back in to a human, hugs Tohru and [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting turns in to a cat]]. Tohru then carries him home, which caused many people to go "awww".]]
** Another Tohru example: At the end of the manga, [[spoiler:Akito has a knife and has cornered Tohru at the edge of a cliff. Tohru, instead of freaking out, asks Akito if she wishes to be friends with her. This would be a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, except the purpose was for it to be heartwarming. At least in This Troper's point of view.]]
** Kyo and Yuki retrieving Tohru from her relatives-from-hell... Also the scene where they race back to the house after realizing they're leaving her alone for New Years.
** When Kisa, the CuteMute, [[spoiler:comes to bring Tohru home from work, running up to her calling her "Onee-san". Tohru broke down in tears.]]
** There's also the part where shy little Machi Kuragi [[spoiler:says she ran all over the school to just say 'hello' to Yuki.]]

** During Hatori's flashbacks of Kana, one of the things that leads fans to 'aww' in the middle of the sadness is [[spoiler: Kana's declaration that she doesn't feel any differently about him because of his curse.]]
*** Hell, the entire last chapter is made up of CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming and TearJerker amoments. From "You sure picked an odd place to get embarrassed" to "This is the key to my new apartment. You can come by any time" [...] * pretends to throw key out window* "YOU LIAR" and "When you go, will I have to come with you?" * blush* "You cunning child".
** When Kagura confesses to Kyo that [[spoiler:her love for him had only been because she was looking down on him; Kyo rejects her feelings but adds that, regardless of the reason, he was happy when Kagura played with him. Kagura then cries that she still loves him, and he hugs her and says "Thank you." Very heartwarming.]]
** In Volume 16, when [[spoiler:Katsuya turns up at Kyoko's parents' house just as they're kicking her out and lays into them about how they're treating their daughter. And then later on in that volume, when Kyoko realises that she's been neglecting Tohru in her grief and runs home...only to find Tohru waiting for her patiently and smiling.]]
** Ayame isn't immune to these, either. The one that jumps to this troper's mind is him [[CrowningMomentofAwesome interrupting Yuki's Parent-Teacher conference, effectively rescuing Yuki from their controlling mother.]]
*** Ayame, normally [[LargeHam so flamboyant, so outspoken,]] says sincerely and gently to Mine, when [[spoiler: his curse has broken: "I was born to love you -- and finally, finally I can tell you that!"]]
** A non-Tohru example, toward the end of the manga when [[spoiler:the curse is finally broken, and "God," surrounded by the spirits of all the animals from the banquet (including the cat) turns and says thank you and goodbye.]]
** Toward the end of the manga, there was speculation about who would be on the final cover, just Tohru or Tohru with the Sohmas or her friends or some other combination. Turns out, it was none of those, and even now, this troper gets a little teary eyed to see Tohru's mother smiling out from that final cover.
** Rin ''immediately'' stepping in to defend Tohru after Kagura slaps her (for not admitting her feelings to Kyo) struck this troper as incredibly heartwarming, showing just how far Rin had come since she was first introduced.
* What?! No mention of Volume 17, when Tohru was feeling upset, and Kyo made her a paper flower to cheer her up? This Troper thought it was so adorably sweet.
* I'm a little bothered this isn't here. It's anime-exclusive but personally one of this tropers favorite moments in any anime or manga: near the end of the last episode, when Akito is about to hurt Tohru, ranting about how the Sohma will be happy he's gone when he dies [[spoiler:Tohru tells him that she would be sad if he died and she believes so will the rest of the Sohma. It makes me tear up just thinking about it.]]

* Kyo, who hates leeks, making Tohru leek soup when she was sick. Also anytime he lets the jerk part of his JerkWithAHeartOfGold status go and acts nice, especially when he's around Tohru who he falls in love with.
