How Many Fruits Baskets?

AnimeNewsNetwork as an article about TOKYOPOP’s Fruits Basket series reaching two million books in print!  Amazing!  Fruits Basket was one of the first manga that I ever read and one of the first I purchased for the library. 

I love the quote from the author:


When TIME Magazine asked Ms. Takaya her feelings on having the
top-selling manga in the U.S., she responded, “That definitely flatters
and pleases me. Thank you very much. As for a reason, I can’t clearly
distinguish one, but if people read Fruits Basket and think ‘I like
this,’ then that alone is enough to bring me joy.”

This series certainly brings a lot of people around the world joy too.
