Gracias a una traducción pude leer la tercera entrega de esta serie de novelas ligeras a las cuales uno puede volverse fácilmente adicto.
La relación de Taiga y Ryuuji va evolucionando y aunque Ami les jode la vida, es un punto clave para que ambos entiendan el tipo de relación y sentimiento tienen entre sí.
No puedo evitar sentirme identificada con Taiga en muchos aspectos, es por eso que Ryuuji me parece un chico sumamente lindo y atento, y cualquiera sería feliz de tenerlo como amigo y novio.
De veras que es una historia que vale mucho la pena.

It's been far too long since I got back to reading this series, and quite frankly I genuinely missed its honesty in balancing the sheer emotional turmoil and humor and growth of its characters. There's so, so much heart in Toradora! and I can't thank it enough for that. If you've already watched the anime, then this covers the episodes about the swimming competition between Taiga and Ami, and in my opinion, goes into far greater depth and detail about the emotions both Ryuuji and Taiga deal with the entire time. I feel like it's here we really start to see more of their feelings for each other moving into something romantic, and of course, they're both too stubborn to realize it's happening. Again, if you've never given these light novels a shot, I really can't recommend them enough!
