Toradora! (Manga) Vol. 1 by Zekkyo, Yuyuko Takemiya

4.0

I'm trying to get more into manga and a friend recommended this to me. To my surprise I really enjoyed it. It's your typical Japanese high school story, where the guy has a crush on a girl and tries to win her over. However the main female lead through a curve ball in the whole thing and the story becomes a fiasco. I loved the drawings on the characters too, how they can go from semi realistic art to goofy, over the top, simplistic art style. The complaints I have for this book are complaints I have with most Japanese entertainment. Some of the banter/storytelling gets really creepy and the mom in this story is way to over-sexualized. Besides some of the creepiness in certain areas in the story, this was a very fun read and I'm going to start the next volumes soon.
