I still love the story and characters, so I'm really happy to see this volume finally get released. That said, I'm glad I know the story, because this volume skipped around a lot. It felt a little episodic.

Si bien, al inicio de este volumen se concluye el arco anterior (en el cual el padre de Taiga aparece sólo para abandonarla nuevamente), en esta ocasión, Kitamura es el protagonista del drama principal, ya que se tiñe el cabello de rubio (entiéndase que, en Japón, esto se asocia inmediatamente con un criminal) e ignora todas las llamadas de atención por parte de profesores, e inclusive renuncia a la candidatura a la Presidencia del Consejo Estudiantil.
Kitamura es un chico amable y atento con otros, además de que es uno de los mejores estudiantes de toda la escuela, así que resulta obvio que él será el candidato perfecto para encargarse del Consejo Estudiantil, sin embargo, hay una situación sobre la que no tiene ni voz ni voto y, al ser un adolescente, se rebela de la mejor forma que sabe hacerlo.
Al igual que en la novela ligera, esta parte no tiene gran relevancia en la historia y más bien se siente como un montón de capítulos de relleno. Lo que sí, es que me agradan las escenas entre Taiga y Ryuuji porque ella genuinamente se preocupa por Kitamura, y siente frustración cuando no sabe cómo ayudarlo. Por ende, Ryuuji hace lo posible porque ella no se sienta mal consigo misma, además de que le abre los ojos a su amigo pues esta actitud rebelde no lo va a llevar a nada.
El dibujo, como siempre, tiene una estética muy hermosa y ya sólo por eso valdría la pena seguir leyendo esta historia.

Me encanto este tomo, Kitamura es un personaje que se me hace muy divertido, pero en este tomo podemos ver que puede llegar a ser muy serio y hacer cosas inesperadas.
El apoyo de sus amigos le demuestra que no está solo, pero aun así no puede dejar escapar lo que más anhela.

This one was a little slower and seemed to end really abruptly. I know what is coming next and it is one of my favorite parts of the story so I am excited to see this continue. I really like the art for the chapter titles. They always look great.

Me costó un putísimo huevo superar la basura que fue el tomo anterior, pero aquí ya la cosa empieza a mejorar

- Minus 1 star for taking out the recurring m-m-morgue joke
- Minus 1 star for changing the dynamic of the Lucky Man race so it looks like Minori was trying to beat Ryuuji and win the race and then randomly changes her mind at the last second and starts beating up on random male jocks who never did anything to her
- Minus 1 star for taking out the whole burnt egg incident and the finer details of that night, especially Sleepyhead Taiga and her violent reflexes. And how do they justify her sleeping over if they won't depict or even mention the evening's activities?
- Minus 1 star for taking out the fucking-kids-take-the-money-and-go-play-outside-so-I-can-get-some-damn-sleep scene, which is the best Yasuko scene in the entire series.
- Plus 1 star for keeping the bit where they accost Ami and they bully and irritate her into hanging out with them.

Another fun book that finds Ryuuji dealing with the ramifications of trying to reunite Taiga with her estranged father, all while one of their friends makes a drastic decision about his life. Fun book that deals with teenage angst, from problems with parents to making rash decisions, that is dealt with both humor and drama (Taiga's has legitimate concerns about her father but still finds time for a laugh). Overall, one of the best high school dramedy's on the stands.

I'm starting to like these characters less and less... Taiga was initially a good character for me because she was spunky and sassy. Now she just seems like a bully... a bully who cries a lot. I'm hoping she redeems herself. Ryuuji also has this "I must save poor woman who can't care for herself while also simultaneously acting like a douche to her". Eh.

I veri amici si vedono nel momento del bisogno, e in un manga come questo li si vedrà fronteggiare tutta la scuola per poterci essere. Invece... un altro personaggio ha delle difficoltà... Riuscirà ad uscirne? Vedremo...

I'm not a big fan of high-school 'slice of life' manga's. But damn do I love this series. Its a great blend of teenage drama and whacky comedy.

Oh man, Taiga is never going to be with Kitamura is she? 😭

Its really good! AT the end it was quite depressing, but on Netflix you should try watching it!

Ryuuji and Minori get closer, Kitamura’s having a mental breakdown and Taiga is... well, still tiny and ferocious... haha

I now see that there are 11 volumes in this series, and I only have the first 8. I'm enjoying it, but not enough to hunt down the missing 3. In this volume, we learn more about Taiga's crush.
September 11, 2024
I really do enjoy this story and the characters. Wish I had better access to the light novels instead of just the manga.

Really like it! Next one doesn't come out J til next year unfortunately...

While she certainly doesn’t come out unscathed, Taiga weathers last volume’s cliffhanger relatively well due to her own sharp nature and an assist from a guilty Ryuuji. A surprisingly out of left field talent and her... modifications... to her outfit add a little levity to the situation while it resolves.
The equivalent competition for the guys turns into an obstacle course that ends up as a vehicle for Minorin and Ryuuji to make up and grow a little closer. I like that Minorin wasn’t totally being a white knight in the whole situation with Taiga’s dad - she had less than noble reasons, very believable ones, behind her actions.
Even Taiga’s crush on Kitamura gets advanced a little before everything goes completely sideways yet again. There have been oblique rumblings that Kitamura has a crush on the student council president, and a surprise revelation from her sends him into a tailspin.
Kitamura turns out to be crumpling a little under everybody’s expectations of him, plus some good, old-fashioned, acting out like the immature kid he still is. Taiga’s story was more compelling, but Kitamura gets some sympathy even as he’s acting like a major pain in the ass.
This is a good volume, though not as strong as the last one. Things are getting more serious, but while feeling sympathy for Kitamura, it’s hard to feel like he’s not overreacting just a smidge. I mean, I would too at his age but that doesn’t mean I want to relive it either.

Well, this volume WAS enjoyable, though it contained some major values dissonance with Japan on the issue of child-rearing. A character (albeit an older sixteen year old boy) is shown with bruising he got from his dad in a fight and no one considers this wrong or child-abuse at all.
At the samei time, though expected to do what is right for everyone as a whole, the notion of having individual issues and wanting individual happiness isn't dismissed either. It's balanced with the communal aspects of Japanese society. I still rated this highly cause the dissonance wasn't as high as some other works, and I don't want to force my cultural values on others. But it did make me blanche and probably hurt my enjoyment of the work.
On a more positive note, Taiga and Ryuuji have grown closer, as have Taiga and Ami. The latter two have a sort of semi-aggressive tsundere aspect to their friendship, which is hilarious.
All in all, a great volume.

En este tomo la historia se centra en Kitamura, amigo de Ryuji, en esta entrega Kitamura se releva contra todo y contra todos, de ser un estudiante modelo a un bago de primera, es un manga entretenido.

The last volume ended in such a dramatic point in the story, and nearly two years later, we finally get volume 7. I don't know why the releases are so excruciatingly slow for Toradora!. I know that the manga is based off of a light novel series, and I've seen the anime adaption of the series as well, but if not for a genuine affection for the story and the characters, I think the manga release schedule would keep me from investing in the story.
It doesn't help that much of this volume focuses on a storyline around Kitamura that I found impossible to really get into or care about. Now we're stuck with an anticlimactic end to this volume and probably another two year wait for volume 8.

Attenzione: recensione dal numero 5 al numero 8!
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.
