Plot
Fruits Basket Another takes place decades after the original story and features new characters.

The main protagonist is Sawa Mitoma, a very shy and self-conscious girl, who purposely avoids interaction with others because she fears she is nothing but a bother. When she enters her first year of high school at Kaibara Municipal High School, she instantly gets in trouble with a teacher, but she is saved by the "princely" Mutsuki Sohma. When Mutsuki asks Sawa to go to the student council room after school, she meets Hajime Sohma, another member of the Sohma family by accidentally stepping on his face.

The next day, she reunites with both Hajime and Mutsuki who help her deal with her landlord. Sawa starts crying in front of them because she feels like a burden. But, after both boys console her, Sawa asks to make up for injuring Hajime the day before. It is here that Mutsuki decides to make her a part of the student council. While Sawa is at first reluctant, in order to change herself, she agrees to join.

Although she has no knowledge about the Sohma Family and is uncertain to why Mutsuki and Hajime helped her out and didn't reject her, Sawa works hard to be less self-deprecating and begins building her self-esteem. As she begins interacting with the new generation of the Sohma’s that are loving and nurturing, they are able to help Sawa grapple with her demons and hope for a brighter future.
