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

5.0

For plot, I would give this a 9/10, purely because I love the idea of this story. I think a lot of manga plots are very absurd and too complicated at times, but this basic but great plot was very ideal.

For characters I would give this a 8/10, I loved and ABSOLUTEY adored the "taiga". She was the cutest and has the most relatable appetite. I also think Ryuji is really funny, and I ship them. But the one flaw is Kitamura and Minori. UGH! Minori is too hyper and a walking stereotype. As for, Kitamura well... he just fell kind of flat for me.

For the world, I'd give a 10/10. I thought it seemed realistic and this story could happen IRL.

For style, I would say its 7/10 because the art was amazing!

But the only reason it wasn't a 10, was due to style of reading left to right. Yes Yes, I know I'm uncultured American trash, but it was hard to follow at times when the pictures/lines were stacked on top and out of order.

For Ending, well it was 5/1o just because it ended so suddenly. I know there's a lot more volumes but I just felt like it was too short. Although it ended on a cliffhanger, which was fine, I felt like it could've been at least 10-15 pages longer.

So all together 39/50 x 2 amounts to..... 78/100. Which I would round up to 4 stars.
