I watched the anime and I am wondering if the manga finalizes things a bit more. No spoilers pls XD

To that question I can give you a resounding (and VERY pleased) YES!!

Considering the anime only covers the first 8 books of the 23 volume manga, I would say so.

Some of the history revealed later on isn't as um... "G" or "PG" as the beginning. If that doesn't bother you, then I highly recommend to read or finish reading the manga. Its worth it.

Here's a review of the manga here at CAA. LINK

Now I must find the actual manga... Alas, manga is so expensive! and I have to go to another city to find it... T.T

It's definitely worth it. It was the first manga I ever read and I'm thinking about rereading it because I liked it so much. I got it from the library though.

If you're able to order online, then there are several legit online stores where you can get cheaper prices than in bookstores- one of my fave sites I can buy it for about $2.50 less, don't pay tax, and if I order in bulk (save up and buy a bunch, totalling over $50), then I also get free shipping. If you can't order online, then... ouch :(

They show what the normal price is on the back of the book and sell for, well, less :)
And I've double-checked this a billion times, since it's considered a family outing to go to the bookstores. I've never found them to be off on what it is.

The $2.50 is only for Fruits Basket, though- it varies depending on which manga you're getting and whether they're having a sale on it or not

Oh yeah, there is alot more in the manga then in the anime. i really wish they would make some more episodes of Fruits Basket though. It's so sad really. :O

They would pretty much have to pull an FMA:Brotherhood to do it, though. The anime ended in such a way that there's really no possibility that they could just continue and in any way keep it true to the manga. *I'm lookin' at you, Akito!* But, if they did start over again...I would certainly support it. :) There are many things in the manga that I'd love to see animated.

Agreed!!! Though...
The anime was very funny and quirky, but the manga quickly moves into deep/emotional/dark stuff (by volume 11) so I'm not sure how they would p[ull that off...
