Looking for some sweet and spicy anime recommendations? Well, you’re at the right place! Fruits Basket is back with its reboot with the original cast! What year is it anyway? This all seems so nostalgic, right?

23. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K
Now you guys will be wondering how is the disastrous life of Saiki K relates to Fruits Basket? Well, I have the answer! We all have seen the characters of Fruits Basket trying their best to hide their superpowers or ability to transform into their Chinese zodiac animals.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is about a high schooler boy, Saiki who swore to keep his psychic abilities hidden when he was a child. Turns out, his abilities make his life quite difficult.
Saiki K tries his best to live a normal high-schooler life. However, there are so many annoying things happening around him that won’t let him live in peace. So, he just makes use of his psychic abilities.
Whereas, Fruits Basket revolved around the Soma Family who turned into Chinese Zodiac Animals when they were hugged by a “human“. Apparently, hugging was the trigger for them.
22. Devils Line
Devils Line and Fruits Basket follow the same concept of different species living together. In Fruits Basket, we could see Tohru living together with a bunch of humans that turned into animals once touched by some human.
Devils Line follows the story of Anzai and Taira living in a world full of humans and devils. Taira is a human girl who gets saved by the devil, Anzai who works for the police force. Of course, a devil would want to drink the blood of a human being, but he refuses and saves his devilish strength for good. I’m sure you guys will love this anime if you enjoyed watching Fruits Basket!
21. Nisekoi
Nisekoi is a classical romance anime followed by slice of life. Two awkward yet hardworking students, under forced, circumstances have to make their relationship work no matter what!
Raku Ichijo is a son of a Yakuza boss whereas the girl is Half-American whose father is also a crime boss in America. They’re gangster Romeo & Juliet. I know it sounds hilarious, but you guys will love it! There will be jealousy and many twists like these in the anime.

Updated July 28, 2022 by Ernie Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the best Anime that made its debut in 2020. It has everything needed to become the best series out there. Whether we are talking about action, animation, or the story, this Anime has everything. Therefore, we are going to talk about Anime like Jujutsu
20. Oreimo
The diehard otaku Kirino Kousaka comes back from America and settles in Japan with her family and friends. His brother did a lot for her back in the days but since Kirino kept Japan close to her heart, she did not like his brother convincing her to come back to America. Maybe that’s why she kept giving him a cold shoulder.
However, after some time in anime, we get to see their relationship getting better. Kirino and Kyosuke work on improving their relationship along with their friends. And Kirino continues to make time for her Otaku needs. So, if you want to watch a slice of Anime like Fruits Basket, you have to watch Oreimo!
19. Senryu Girl
Nanako Yukishiro is a pretty 16-year-old girl who cannot speak. She communicates with Senryu’s 17-syllable-long poems. On the other side, we have a delinquent, Eiji Busujima. He stopped being a delinquent after middle school and has now turned into a new leaf. Despite his intimidating appearance, he gets along well with Nanako Yukishiro. They both get involved in a Literature Club and further strengthen their bonds.
Even though Nanako is unable to speak yet both of them get along very well and they look very adorable too! Senryu Girl or Senryu Shoujo has a very relaxing story.
18. Kaguya Sama - love is war
I feel like you all have probably seen this one! Kaguya Sama – love is war revolves around the story of two adorable students Kaguya and Miyuki Shirogane who are very prideful. They are head-over-heels for one another but won’t express it.
The story, however, gets very suffocating at times! It’s like we want them to get close ASAP but they’re just being held back because of their pride and curiosity to see who confesses first. Both of them are very competent and are president and vice-president of the next level Student Council as depicted by every other anime! Isn’t that right?
Though, if you still haven’t watched Kaguya Sama – love is war, you should definitely start watching it now!
17. Kono Oto Tomare! Sounds of Tomorrow
The story revolves around the Koto Club of the Tokise High School in Kanagawa. Takezo Kurata is the only member left in the Koto Club after his upperclassmen graduate. He’s trying his best to keep the club alive by recruiting new members. Chika Kudo submits his application for joining the Koto Club.
There are rumors about Kudo being a delinquent so Takeza is exceptionally apprehensive about him. What could he have done? He had to keep the club alive. Another member, Satowa Hozuki has her own agenda. As the story proceeds, there are new members too. But in the end, they all have the same goal of joining the Koto Nationals Competition.
16. Wotakoi
An adult woman, Momose Narumi is a diehard Otaku. And a hideous Yaoi fangirl geek as well. She switches her job and transfers somewhere else hoping to give off her “competent woman” image. However, her hopes are crushed when she sees her middle school classmate Nifuji Hirotaka, who knows about her secret.

Yuki Hase has a beautiful classmate, Kaori Fujimiya who’s always alone and has probably no friends at all. Yuki Hase approaches her and asks her to be her friend. Kaori reveals that she loses her memory every Monday. Sounds sad, right? Despite learning the fact that her memory is bad, Yuki Hase continues to be her friend and reminds her every Monday that they were friends. Now, how wholesome is that?
12. orange
Now many of you might have already watched Orange but the story never gets old. I can still rewatch this anime. It was just so soothing! It follows the story of Naho Takamiya and a mysterious letter that warns her about the future. Much like the fruits basket, Orange understands questioning about the world. The characters propel the story forward which gives the story a natural rhythm.
11. The Quintessential Quintuplets
The Quintessential Quintuplets follow the story of the quintuplets, Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba & Itsuki Nakano who are very bad at studying just like me. Just kidding! Futaro Uesugi is a private tutor of the quintuplets who is always struggling around with them. These girls won’t just sit still to study. The slice of life is very relaxing and soothing.
