Beyond that, not much information was released but one of the officials from ULTIMO SPALPEEN shared some additional information on twitter. They wrote, “The Fruit Basket movie is planned to be more realistic than the manga/anime version. So the scenes where Toru (main character) sleeping in the tent in volume 1 will not be used in the movie scene.”

Fruit Basket is written by Natsuki Takaya. It was serialized in the Japanese manga magazine titled Hana to Yume and published a total of 23 volumes of manga. It was also created as animation and a drama CD.
