Toradora! (Manga) Vol. 1

Product Information

Yasuko Takasu is Ryuji’s 33 year-old irresponsible mother and an airhead slut. Yes 33 years-old, in her freshman year of high-school, this dumb bitch managed to get impregnated (willingly might I add) by a Yakuza thug. She ran away from home to give birth to her son at the age of 16 and raise him on her own. The father was a typical scumbag and disappeared, apparently he went missing and could possibly be dead. No spoilers, but he never appears in the entirety of the canon (probably dead then). She has a curvaceous figure, she’s always had massive boobs as evidenced from a pregnancy picture where her man is groping her. She works at a hostess bar, she might as well be a stripper since she spends most of her income on clothes and accessories for work and booze. As a result, the mother-son family is kinda poor and lives cheap. She always comes home drunk and sleeps throughout the day. She never does the housework and relies on her son for everything. She has no shame, wearing lingerie in front of her son and anyone who comes to visit and letting patrons of her workplace grope her. She is over-protective and unreasonable with her son, she won’t let him get a part-time job or any work and intends for him to go to university even though she cannot afford it. This may be due to regrets about her ruining her own life and not getting on with her parents, she is possibly trying to live her dreams through her son. There are two kinds of camps I have seen when it comes to people who dislike this show. Some will watch the first couple of episodes and just find not to lik The manga takes its storyline right out of the light novel. It is nonetheless noteworthy because the original story ended differently than the author had intended. For most of the show their relationship is actually rather unhealthy, as Ami points out a number of times during the episodes. Ryuuji does a lot of things for Aisaka, that she should be doing for herself. Their relationship is more of a father/daughter relationship than one of equals as Ami also says explicitly StorySometimes, honesty is the best policy.Toradora! takes what seems to be a typical anime conceit--two mismatched friends trying to help each other win love in high school--and plays it straight. The final product combines ensemble comedy, drama, and romance with pretty visuals, creating a touching and believable shounen romance.

Her whole speech while she’s running through the hallway confirms that.

Toradora! revolves around Ryuuji Takasu, despite his gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent. Class rearrangements on his second high school year put him together with his best friend, Yusaku Kitamura, and his hidden crush, Minori Kushieda. Along with these two comes Minori's best friend, Taiga Aisaka who is also known as the school's "Palmtop Tiger". Taiga's delicate appearance contrasts with her brutal personality.
