Based on the namesake manga series (1998-2006) written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya, Fruits Basket is a fantasy romance anime TV show. The plot revolves around Tohru Honda, an orphaned teenager, whose encounter with the members of the Sohma family changes the course of destiny for everyone involved. Tohru soon learns that certain Sohmas are born with the Zodiac curse. They are possessed by one of the 13 Chinese Zodiac animals and transform into that animal whenever they are experiencing extreme emotions or are embraced by someone from the opposite sex. In the course of the series, Tohru, empowered by her infinite patience and love, helps these troubled individuals find peace and happiness.
Takaya’s manga was previously adapted into an anime series of the same name in 2001. The first season of the newer show premiered on April 6, 2019, the second season on April 7, 2020, and the third season on April 6, 2021. If you are wondering whether there will be a fourth season of Fruits Basket, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all we know about Fruits Basket Season 4 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there a Fruits Basket Season 4 release date?
There is no Fruits Basket Season 4 release date as the anime ended after three seasons.
Fruits Basket, the 2019 show, covered Takaya’s main manga series in its entirety and concluded after three seasons, giving satisfactory endings to almost all the plot threads. Interested fans can watch Fruits Basket: Prelude (2022), a prequel anime film that revolves around the parents of Tohru Honda. They can also read Takaya’s completed sequel manga series, Fruits Basket Another, which has four volumes published between 2015 and 2020. Even though season 4 is unlikely to happen, there is always a possibility for this sequel to be turned into an anime TV show in the future.
The voice cast includes Manaka Iwami as Tohru Honda, Atsumi Tanezaki as Arisa Uotani, Satomi Satō as Saki Hanajima, Yoshimasa Hosoya as Katsuya Honda, Miyuki Sawashiro as Kyoko Honda, Maaya Sakamoto as Akito Soma, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Yuki Soma, Yuma Uchida as Kyo Soma, Yuichi Nakamura as Shigure Soma, and more.
Why Fruits Basket Season 4 isn’t happening
Fruits Basket Season 4 isn’t coming out because, as mentioned above, the series concluded after Season 3. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.
The official synopsis for Fruits Basket reads:
“After a family tragedy turns her life upside down, 16-year-old high school student Tohru Honda takes matters into her own hands and moves out… into a tent! Unfortunately for her, she pitches her new home on private land belonging to the mysterious Soma clan, and it isn’t long before the owners discover her secret. But, as Tohru quickly finds out when the family offers to take her in, the Somas have a secret of their own—when hugged by the opposite sex, they turn into the animals of the Chinese Zodiac!”
