Toradora is a story about Taiga Aisaka and Ryuuji that eventually grows into love story. It's a story of world of emotions and feelings that change through time. There are many funny situations, those lovely awkward love moments, interesting and cute characters. Everything you want from this anime genre mix-up: Comedy, Romance, School, Slice of Life. I won't go into plot details as not to spoil for those who might watch the anime. Let me say oly that: when you start watching it, you just can't stop until you watched the last 25th episode. Hint: make sure you watch the last episode right to the end past the end credits or you might miss the crucial epilogue.
Taiga Aisaka is 16-year old high-schooler. Due to her family situation and her history Taiga is very afraid of her own emotions. Because of her being teased by schoolmates (she is small and has small/no breasts for her age) and having some bad love experience she is also very insecure. She desperately wants to be loved and accepted by others. But feelings and emotions for her are hard to bear and she usually reacts with violence, even when liked by others. Taiga character is very good scripted and superbly voiced. It's no surprise her voice-actor Rie Kugimiya won Best Actress in the third seiyu awards for the role of Taiga Aisaka back in 2009. Taiga is a character that sticks to your mind, you cannot forget her. She levels the meaning of word Baka to new heights. So whenever you watch any anime, when some character says "baka", you instantly get smiles while thinking how Taiga would have said it. "Baka Chihuaua" or "Baka inu" .. and then you start laughing.
Ryuuji is Taiga's classmate. He's nice, polite, hard working. He always tries to help others, so is with Taiga with her one-sided love for some other person.
Thus he becomes friend of tsundere Taiga and slowly helps her to transform into a quite nice girl. He is very patient even when Taiga unleashing kicks ad blows on him. Because of this traits, he is a target for 2 other girls (very interesting and funny characters), which makes Taiga jealous.
