De nueva cuenta, gracias a la traducción, cada vez estoy mas cerca del final y aunque esta novela fue determinante en la historia, es demasiado drama para mi gusto.
No quiere decir que sea malo, pero como todos los personajes esperan que otros los entiendan sin decir nada, se arma un verdadero caos.
Las chicas y los chicos tienen su viaje escolar en las montañas y pese a que en un principio no deseaban acudir, se divierten y al menos hacen uno que otro buen recuerdo. Sin embargo, la situación explota cuando Ami y Minori se confrontan; Ryuuji y Taiga se ven involucrados, así como Kitamura y los demás chicos, pues nuestra pequeña tigre, cae de un acantilado al querer salvar el broche que Ryuuji compró para su amiga.
Afortunadamente no tiene lesiones graves pero sí ocurre que Taiga confiese sus debilidades y su amor por Ryuuji, pensando que éste es Kitamura.
¿Que pasará en la siguiente novela? Eso debo averiguarlo.

The bit where they struggle to learn how to ski then give up and decide it's stupid and resent all the people who are good at skiing made me feel really seen, lol.
I love how Ryuuji has gained enough confidence throughout this story to be able to whine at Taiga and demand an explanation for her absence by the beginning of this book. I think a few books ago, he would have just taken whatever mean thing she said to heart and went off to sulk on his own (although it's been established that Taiga easily crumbles in front of his sadface all the way back in the culture festival arc.)
Another amazing thing is how he's come to the realization that people like and respect him now, although he still doesn't understand that they actually consider him a catch. I love how Noto and Haruta are completely incredulous over the idea that he could be rejected and are like "if I was a girl, I would totally date you" and he just brushes it off as them being weird and jokey.
I think what I'm getting at is that I seem to love protagonists with low self esteem. I always knew I don't like stuck up douches but I thought I like moderation, not the opposite end of the spectrum, lol

Por mais que eu já saiba de toda a história, por mais que o drama já me pareça muito exagerado e bobo as vezes, eu não consigo deixar de gostar e me importar com os personagens.
Já indo pra conclusão aqui temos as consequências dos eventos do natal, com a rejeição de Ryuuji por Kushieda e Taiga resolvendo se afastar dele por achar que está atrapalhando.
Na segunda parte a viagem para esquiar e a revelação ao leitor sobre os sentimentos de quase todos os personagens, além do próprio Ryuuji ao final saber o que de fato se passou após o natal sobre Taiga e Kitamura.

Wow, what an ending! This is a major turning point in the story. Can’t wait to see how everything gets resolved before the end...


* If you’re reading the manga (currently only 9 volumes are out, so it’s unfinished), chapter 4 of this light novel, is a great place to continue reading the story. Although, I do recommend reading all of the previous volumes of the light novel because there’s so much detail and even whole scenes missing from the manga.

Toradora! Vol. 8
Rating: 9/10

"Even if people suspected they had a father-daughter-like relationship, even if it got in the way of Taiga living alone, even if it got in the way of their love lives-he would never let go of Taiga's hand again."

"I just like Ryuuji, no matter what I do..."

The knot has unraveled, now we just have the fallout left to see.

Tension creeping higher and higher in this volume! Getting on a snowy mountain just made things hotter~

[DJ Linick · Rating 5 out of 5]

The ski-trip arc is the turning point! Despite the snow, things are heating up!

I'm so excited to see how the last two volumes align with the anime!

Si antes ya estaba emocionada, este volumen me volvió loca con tanta emoción. Claro, no siguen restregando en la cara a solterona-sensei (No tienes porqué decir que tiene 30 años casi siempre que la nombras XP), pero fuera de eso, este volumen se me hizo super corto y con muchas frases y dilemas propios de la juventud loca XD
Aunque ya vi el anime, me emocioné de todos modos, lo cual se agradece a la autora.
¡Gracias por crear una historia con tantas moralejas y romance, Yuyuko!
Definitivo terminaré los diez volúmenes :D

The much awaited school trip to Okinawa becomes a ski trip, which in itself is not too bad, despite their initial grumbling. Unresolved romantic feelings between various members of the group lead to unexpected friction. While the story is still interesting, there is much less comedy (and very little of the over-the-top stuff of earlier volumes) and much more drama. Great for character development even when it comes with the dense MC trope (although a couple of the side characters are rather dense as well) with a few eye roll moments.

[M.R. Bowers · Rating 5 out of 5]

We're approaching the endgame here and, since things always need to get bad before they can get better, wow this volume is a heartbreaker. Takemiya-sensei understands teen angst and heartbreak incredibly well.
