Deep Sympathy has been open since June 12, 2007. I had a hard time deciding on a title for this fanlisting, I just love these 2 characters, especially their relationship. When I started thinking about their relationship I thought of how deep it is, how understanding they are of each other, how they both worry about how the other is feeling, etc, etc. But I couldn't come up with a short title or a title that would very well describe their bond. So I searched for different words and found these definitions:
Sympathy: a relation of affinity or harmony between people; whatever affects one correspondingly affects the other; The association of sharing the feelings or interests of another; denotes fellow feeling or emotional identification with a person when we seem to share his experiences and feelings.¨

Current layout features a funny moment between Hatsuharu and Yuki from Volume 12 chapter 70 of the Fruits Basket manga. Hatsuharu mentions that Yuki is kind and Yuki says that Haru is always sweet to him. To which Hatsuharu replies "Maybe we were sisters in our past lives". This makes Yuki laugh, and his smile makes Haru smile. You can also see a picture of a memory of the day they met, and a small picture of the Ox and the Rat of the zodiac.
