Toradora!'s story begins with the male protagonist Ryūji Takasu who is frustrated at trying to look his best as he enters his second year of high school. Despite his gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent, so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either. After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryūji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class with his best friend Yūsaku Kitamura and a girl he has a crush on, Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into "the school's most dangerous animal of the highest risk level"—Taiga Aisaka—who just happens to also be in his class, and is a good friend of Minori.
Taiga has a negative attitude towards others and will not hesitate to snap at people. After meeting Ryūji, she takes an instant dislike of him. Taiga comes from a rich family, but she has moved out to live on her own due to family issues. She is coincidentally living in an apartment next to Ryūji's. When Ryūji discovers that Taiga has a crush on Yūsaku, and Taiga finds out about Ryūji's affections towards Minori, Ryūji suggests that they cooperate to win the objects of their affections. Taiga exploits the fact that Ryūji will do anything to get closer to Minori. She makes him her personal servant, getting him to do all her household chores (cooking and cleaning). Taiga spends a lot of her time over at his house, so much that she could almost be considered a member of his family. Since Ryūji spends a lot of time with Taiga, he has opened up to her world and to a side of her that most people do not see. The two also try to help each other improve the way people view them. However people they know from school start to become curious about their strange relationship and rumors begin to spread about them behind their backs.

Although i find the storyline not so realistic, that is what makes it great.
Ryuji, due to his eyes, always makes a bad impression of a deliquent. Soon, he met Aisaka Taiga, the palm top tiger.
They decided to work together to help each other get their love. but soon misunderstanding appeared and Taiga ignored Ryujii to stop the misunderstanding [ only 1 episode ]
In the end[dun want to be a spoiler in the middle] They got together...want to know how? go watch the anime. It is very worth watching..

Toradora is about 2 high school students who accidentally found out each others crushes. Aisaka Taiga a.k.a Palm Top Tiger (Tenori Taiga) is a small girl with a strong personality. Everyone is afraid of her even though she is small. Takasu Ryuji, a good guy with scary, delinquent-like eyes, helps Taiga to reveal her feelings to Kitamura Yusaku (Who happens to be Ryuji's best friend). While Taiga on the other hand, helps Ryuji to get close to his crush, Kushieda Minori (Who happens to be Taiga's best friend). Other important characters in the story are: Ami Kawashima (Baka-chi - Stupid chihuahua as Taiga calls her), is a pretty model and a transferee to their school who hides her true self to the crowd. She is sweet when everyone is looking but when alone, she is arrogant. She'll get along with the other characters. Takasu Yasuko is Ryuji's mom. She raised Ryuji alone because her husband left her when she was pregnant. Yuri sensei is their homeroom teacher/ class adviser. Along with their other classmates, Noto Hisamitsu, Haruta Koji, Kihara Maya and Nanako Kashii, they will solve each conflicts in the story.
My favorite episodes are: Episode 16 & 19.
OP songs and insert songs are fun to listen to. =)

Loved it - i was laughing for the most of it and the way they all become friends yet bicker with such annoyance - it reminds me of my own friends.
it was good to watch it and feel as though it was real - based on true life events - and that was only because it was simple - about school life and love. but because it was quite similar to some friendships i have i really enjoyed it.
its was hilariously funny and good - fillers were good.

Toradora is an awesome anime where teens like me would love especially the little ones. It is about comedy and romance. I really like the characters there especially Taiga Aisaka who is very petite and cute. She is called Palmtop Tiger because of her attitude which is like boyish but not at all. At the start I have watched this anime in TV5 here in the Philippines, which i discover this anime so cool and awesome. I think i have watched is episode 3 of it and it is really nice.

Taiga Aisaka is a student who has a negative attitude towards others, tsundere. ^^ Taiga comes from a rich family, but she has moved out to live on her own due to family issues. She is coincidentally living in an apartment next to Ryūji's house. Her closest friend is Minori Kushieda. Then she met Ryūji Takasu, Yūsaku Kitamura, and Yūsaku Kitamura in their school and happened to be friends with. At first, she like Kitamura but in the end, she fell for Ryuji. Though she treats Ryūji badly at first, her feelings begin to change as she spends more time with him and his mother, Yasuko.
