Summary: Despite Ryuji Takasu's gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent. Class rearrangements on his second high school year put him together with his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, and his hidden crush, Minori Kushieda. Along with these two comes Kushieda's best friend, Taiga Aisaka. Her delicate appearance contrasts with her brutal personality. Secretly in love with Kitamura, Taiga agrees to help Ryuji with his love interest as long as he helps her get closer to hers.
It’s a new school year and Ryuuji Takasu discovers not only is he in the same class as his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, but also Minori Kukshieda whom he's had an undisclosed crush on for quite some time. Along with Kitamura and Minori is Minori's best friend, the “Palmtop Tiger”, tiny Taiga Aisaka whom, despite her small stature, takes nothing from nobody. (When unflattering pictures of her in a bathing suit were circulated, “Of course, I made it rain blood in the photography club.”) Taiga is secretly in love with Kitamura and she and Ryuuji, despite an oil and water relationship, agree to mutually support each other in their quests for their heart’s desire.

Toradora appears to be just your average slice of life romantic comedy, however in the end it is so much more than that. It is a story about growing up, understanding and loving your family, and being good friends. It is a true struggle and something you truly have to watch up to the very ending credits of the last episode to truly understand the meaning of.

Aside from that, the animation is top notch. Very beautiful, very smooth. The dialogue is wonderful. Funny, snappy, witty, wise, and beautiful. If you love slice of life animes, or romantic comedies, or just want something that will hit close to home, this is for you.
