Toradora! (Manga) Vol. 1 by Zekkyo, Yuyuko Takemiya
4.0
Unfortunately for Takasu Ryuuji, appearances can be deceiving.
Though a kind, considerate, and giving person at heart who takes care of of his single mom and the caretaking of the house, his sharp gaze, large build, and outwardly imposing looks make people think he is a delinquent. This is not great for making friends or finding a girlfriend.
When Ryuuji starts junior high, he’s hoping things will change. He’s got a good friend — handsome and studious Kitamura — and he’s met a kind and beautiful girl — Kusheida Minori. Things are really looking up!
That is, until Ryuuji quite literally bumps into Aisaka Taiga, the school’s diminutive but ultimate mean girl. Known as the “palmtop tiger”, she’s got a temper that more than makes up for her size.
The two immediately dislike each other. But, much to their dismay, they discover that each is best friends with the other’s crush. That, unfortunately, joins them in a common goal. After Aisaka unsuccessfully tries and fails to confess to Kitamura, Ryuuji decides to help her — so long as she helps him get with Kusheida.
Will the two be able to accomplish their goals? Or, will they find themselves more wrapped up in each other instead…?
Delightful so far! I’m so happy to finally be getting into this one!!! Will definitely be reading more~
