Fruits Basket: A Plum on the BackTV Tokyo

For the school's cultural festival, Class D (which Tohru and her friends are in) plans to sell rice balls, a less ambitious project than the kids on His and Her Circumstances would've come up with. (But then Furuba doesn't draw this plot out for six episodes and still not conclude it.) This episode's title refers to Tohru's analogy of people being oblivious to their own best qualities, like a rice ball that can't see the plum on its back. We get fodder for both Tohru/Kyo and Tohru/Yuki ships, as she tells Kyo the plum analogy and they awkwardly compliment each other, while later Tohru and Yuki think the other does or would look cute in the dress Yuki is wearing. Meanwhile, two more members of the Zodiac arrive, bunny Momiji (voiced by a woman, in this case Kimberly Grant, as he is in all countries, to make him sound younger), and the not-yet-animal-identified Hatori (played by Kent Williams), who is doctor to the Sohmas.
