Help, why is this so popular? I didn't understand it at all and I feel hopelessly out of touch.

This one was cute and Tohru was sweet, funny and silly, but I didn't like it enough to read any more volumes. I like the Zodiac twist and all the side characters are fun, but it just didn't grab me.

Disclaimer: this is my first real attempt at reading manga. The formatting and dialogue are a little rough for me to get through, but I like the fantasy elements and the romantic tension so I'm landing in the middle on this.
