Toradora

Tora Dora Manga

So, my way of Toradora mustn't have all the available chapters because it only goes up to 33 and the anime has them kissing(T.T I wanna see that!)

Anyway, on with the plot[From Mangareader.net]
Toradora's story begins with the male protagonist Ryuuji Takasu who is frustrated at trying to look his best as he enters his second year of high school. Despite his gentle personality, he has a natural outer-appearance which makes him look like an intimidating delinquent so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either. After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryuuji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class as his best friend, Yasuke Kitamura, and crush, Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into the schools most dangerous animal of the highest risk level — Taiga Aisaka — who just happens to also be in his class.


Neat, huh? And it's fun to read with how childish Aisaka is.


Anyway, the manga itself has drawings a lot better than what you see on the cover(his nose never looks pointy...except maybe once). I really love the story itself. The characters are interesting and fun to watch go on. So, here are some reviews.


Ryuuji and Taiga(this review's about Ryuuji, though)
I wish I had a better picture to give you, but I don't. This one, at least, shows his eyes. I don't see how people can call them scary...
Anyway, I think Ryuuji's cool. He is the main male character and therefor you know more about him than Aisaka(Taiga). I really think he's nice. I know(I would know even without watching the anime scene of them k***ing<---Not a cuss word) that she likes him back! She has to of given up on Kitamura!

Taiga...in the anime because I couldn't find a manga pic
So, Taiga Aisaka is SO cute. She's like a child. And when I learned why she's living alone, I felt like I wanted to...HUG HER! (I want to hug almost everyone, though...). It's cute how she calls Ryuuji her dog and how she acts towards people that make the mistake of guessing that she is dating Ryuuji. It's also awesome that she shows hatred towards being called the "Palmtop Tiger" like most people would.

Typical Minorin picture...
Kushieda, in my opinion, is a genuine airhead. Just how she acts. She jokes around a lot and acts idiotic, but she's fun to have in the manga. I guess that's all I can really say on her.

Kitamura
So, yeah, he really makes me want to say Idiot. But really, I'm not sure if he rejected Aisaka or just though she was saying she liked Ryuuji(Though my money's on the second. :P) So, yeah, he's busy and complicates the whole series(with the help of Kushieda) but he's o.k. to have around.

I find a manga scene...and it's for HER!?!?!?!?
I don't really like Ami. She's not the kind of person I really like. I made a video about her though! It uses the song Misery Business. The video isn't completed, but I put a sample on YouTube.
*Ahem* Anyway, she really is not someone I like. She is determined to anger Aisaka and it's ridiculous. She's also obnoxious. I dislike her.

Now, for random pictures! But first, a video by 4EverZekiVK about Ami, Ryuuji, and Aisaka! (Made by me!)

Hope you like it! I worked REALLY hard on it and Windows Movie Maker kept spazzing out on me...
I think Kushieda's pose is very typical of her...
Fitting face on Aisaka. If she's not making this face, she's pouting or crying...



Obviously these scenes happen in the anime, but if they happen in the manga I have yet to see them...
And that's all for now. See ya later!

    Really? I'm debating watching the anime so I can compare it to the manga on my anime review blog, but I'm not sure.
