Yuyuko Takemiya (竹宮 ゆゆこ Takemiya Yuyuko) is a Japanese writer of light novels. Takemiya debuted in September 2004 with her light novel series Watashitachi no Tamura-kun (Our Tamura-kun) which first appeared in the autumn 2004 issue of Dengeki hp Special, a special edition version of Dengeki hp. That same month, Takemiya worked on the scenario for the bishōjo game Noel by FlyingShine (also known for creating Cross Channel).
Following the completion of Watashitachi no Tamura-kun, Takemiya began her best-known series, Toradora!, which she declared to be complete in April 2010 after ten volumes and three spin-off books. The first book of her next series, Golden Time, was Dengeki Bunko's 2000th published light novel. Takemiya launched the manga series Evergreen with artist Akira Kasukabe on July 19, 2011 in ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Daioh Genesis quarterly magazine.
Estos últimos volúmenes no han sido mis favoritos porque todo el fondo está lleno de escenas que siempre vemos en los slice of life. No hay nada restacable salvo la aparición del padre de Taiga (quien creo nunca salió en el anime, aunque no estoy segura).
No es secreto que sea un hombre de dinero y al principio parece tener intenciones de que su hija y él hagan las paces. Inclusive, Ryuuji insta a Taiga a que le dé una oportunidad a su padre. Ella acepta a regañadientes, sin embargo, el hombre de negocios no aparece cuando es más importante, hiriendo a Taiga una vez más.
En general, es importante conocer porqué Taiga siempre se ha sentido abandonada, al igual que Ryuuji, aunque sus casos no sean precisamente iguales. Creo yo que su amistad se basa en que pueden ser genuinos el uno con el otro, sin máscaras y mostrando sus verdaderos sentimientos, aún si estos no son los más ideales.
De cualquier forma, espero que los siguientes volúmenes se compongan aunque creo que el manga apenas y va por el 8 o el 9, así que todavía falta bastante tiempo para poder terminar la serie.
This is where the story really hits hard. Taiga and her relationship with her father comes to the forefront and Takasu, despite his good intentions makes things worse. Can't wait to read the fallout in volume 7.
Another excellent story that gets more dramatic as Ryuuji steps into Taiga's relationship with her estranged father, right when the school is putting on a play. Yuyuko Takemiya's story keeps the high school fun going but adds a nice layer of drama as Taiga past with her father, along with a nice contrast with Ryuuji, who doesn't even know who his father is. Zekkyo's art is nicely deals with the drama as well, giving a set up to the series as it moves from a high school romantic comedy to a more dramatic one.
Not a fan of how forceful Takasu is... he shoves/grabs Taiga a lot when she is, to put it mildly, being a brat... not a fan of that kind of relationship or friendship. You can't force people to do what you want. Also, Taiga is kinda... mean. I'm not sure how I feel about her given that she calls people "mutt" and "chihuahua". Maybe I should give the anime a try instead.
Taiga's father did not show up at the festival.the ml is in a rush to get to taiga before anyone else to check up on her.her father betrayed her.she met her father because the ml made her to by bringing up the fact how the ml's father could not come back. kushieda hated the idea from the start because she knew the father would hurt her feeling and the ml and her had an argument

Questo è il pezzo di storia dove "l'apparenza inganna", e non si riesce ad essere pronti a quello che accade. In fondo sembra inconcepibile. Sembra qualcosa che non passerebbe nell'anticamera del cervello. Eppure può accadere, eppure a qualcuno deve essere successo qualcosa di simile. Per il resto, è godibile il tutto per l'ironicità del festival scolastico. Buon divertimento.
Este tomo me puso muy triste, odio al papá deTaiga, como es capaz de hacerle eso. Ilusionarla y luego dejarla plantada. También Ryuuji se peleo por lograr que Taiga perdonará a su padre y también le falló a él.
Toradora! reaches for the heart this volume, then grabs hold of it and crushes it viciously with an unflinching dollop of reality. Rarely has a hero gotten so much wrong as Ryuuji does in this volume.
The cultural festival looms large and, despite the boys’ best efforts, all their plans to objectify the girls get scuppered in favour of a ludicrous wrestling show (which does add some much needed levity). There’s also a beauty pageant because why not?
Then Taiga’s father enters the picture and Hell Comes to Mangatown. It’s no secret that this guy is trouble - from the get-go he oozes first charm (as far as Ryuuji is concerned) and then just an unidentifiable slimy substance.
However, Ryuuji hasn’t had a father for a long time and that leads him down a very dangerous road (possibly one paved with good intentions) trying to make a reconciliation happen that is only an extension of his own issues. If he projected any harder here he’d ascend to the astral plane.
This draws him into a massive throw down with Minorin, who is in no way wrong here, but not before Ryuuji has given Taiga one of the most dangerous gifts ever - hope. Ryuuji realizes his error far too late and it culminates in a finale that shows you can craft a brutal cliffhanger entirely based on character moments.
Man, this one is a lot to take in and very shouty, but it makes perfect sense as Ryuuji misses cue after cue (his mom is perceptive far beyond what you‘d expect of her). That Taiga gets caught up in his enthusiasm is a tragedy in and of itself.
The only part that really misses for me is Ami’s outfit to emcee the pageant. Yeah, it is in character for both her and the series, but it undercuts the drama rather than offering a breather from it.
While this is not an easy read, it is by no means a bad one. Just don’t expect it to leave a good taste in your mouth by the ending.
Proseguendo la lettura, devo dire che ho un po' rivisto la mia valutazione del manga in sé. Per quanto i ricordi dell'anime mi facciano desistere dallo smettere di leggerlo, trovo la lettura a tratti lenta e anche un po' forzata. Ci sono troppi clichè, tipici di uno shoujo ok, ma anche troppi elementi messi per "piacere" al pubblico. La storia potrebbe scavare più nel profondo, ma pare che ogni incursione in vicende più complesse debba essere spezzata da qualche vignetta stupida o di poco conto. Mi dispiace, perché di per sé è una storia che potrebbe funzionare e un po' fuori dagli schemi. Forse persino troppo, a questo punto.

Toradora is one of those stories that starts you off with an annoying atmosphere and then creates something so amazing that just makes you want to know more about the two main characters. Showing off the tsundere character in our short female mc while portraying a guy born with a mean face but a kind heart in our other mc. Chaos assured when those two meet.
