Again, this year, no Cake Day celebration for me.  The Dec 2026 issue of Dengeki Daioh was just released on 27 Oct 2026 and, unfortunately, there was no new Toradora! material.  I guess it was too much to ask to have three straight months of releases.  For what it’s worth, October is one of the slower months for the manga anyway at just 12 releases in 20 years of publication.  Also unfortunate, a miss this month means that even if we get releases in November and December, we’ll only have 6 total for the year.  That’s the lowest since 2017 when there were only 5.  Hopefully, Zekkyou will bounce back next month and not leave us hanging any longer than necessary for the conclusion of the scene from the previous two months.  The Jan 2027 issue of Dengeki Daioh is due out on 27 Nov 2026.  I guess we’ll have to wait until then.

I loved it. short and simple, I loved it, it is my #2 most favorite anime right behind Re:Zero, One of my only gripes with Re:Zero is the relationships past arc 6 and Toradora shows how to do it right and scratches the romance itch that I missed from the later parts of Re:Zero

Now onto the actual anime itself, first I'll start off with the story, it was immaculate with things happening at a continuous pace where no episode feels like filler, The start of it was especially strong and kept me hooked with it's interesting premise and character interactions, the middle parts is where it really picks up for me and where I really enjoy the small character interactions between Ryuuji and Tagai even if they're not fully in love at this point, the final parts I feel are strong however I feel like things went a little too fast and it kind of skipped over some things i feel were important like the whole Kitamura stuff and I feel like we could've gotten a little more of Ryuuji and Tagai couple stuff because we only really got an episode and a half where they were a couple but I still really loved the ending and the I love you scene genuinely had my heart racing.

Now for the characters, I really like both Ryuuji and Taiga I feel like they all had amazing heart pounding scenes that had me kicking my feet, Ryuuji I really like and I feel like I relate to him a lot since as a high schooler currently I don't know what I want to do for a career and I also struggle with crushes, I especially like the scenes where he's not particularly a good person because it shows that he is not perfect and that at the end of the day these are still just kids, my only con with him is that he never really apologized to Yasuko, like I feel its implied he did but I never saw that and it just comes off as "I did nothing wrong so I won't apologize" even if its not what the author meant but it doesn't mean I don't love Ryuuji to death, Now for Taiga, I love Taiga, she is super cute and I really like how she starts off more harsh towards Ryuuji but as the story progresses and as she spends more time with him she gets more soft, Personally I love seeing visceral changes within characters and Taiga is a good example of that, however I do have a small issue with how she was done in episode 16 and this kind of goes for the whole show, I really don't like when the characters fight, it just feels sad to watch my favorite characters all beaten up and with nasty looks on their faces like they actually hate the other person and I feel people are much much more peaceful than that and it just feels wrong, idk I just don't like the fights still love Taiga though. since this section is already long enough I'll just give a quick run-through on what I think of the side characters, and overall I really liked them however I do think they suffer from a lack of screen time and could've used another episode or two, all this except for Minori I feel like she is used well and has more than enough screen time so I don't have any issues with her other than the fact she has a sad ending which kind of saddened me as she's like one of my favorites out of the cast.

So yea I love Toradora now and I'll probably go and read the LN and Manga when I get the chance and if there's anymore side content I'll probably do that too, Peace~

I got attached to these characters without even realizing it. By the end, they felt less like characters I was watching and more like people I’d spent time with. And now that it’s over, there’s this strange feeling of missing something that was never really part of my life in the first place.
I wanted to put that feeling into a drawing, so I drew some of the characters as my own little tribute to the series.
I know it’s just a drawing, but after finishing Toradora, it felt like the right thing to do.

Decided to add what else I could find after the first was well received. Artist does indeed seem to be a fan of the PSP game.

favorite figure of her. i have it since 2010 i guess

I was about to check if helluva boss new episodes see out and I saw this yes it lets me watch it

Mine had got to be between these 2

"Ryuji : In this world there's this thing that no one's ever seen. This thing, it's very kind and gentle, and if anyone could actually see it, there'd be a whole bunch of people wanting to have it

Taiga: Maybe that's why the world keeps it hidden from everyone. If it's hard to get, that makes it even more special

Ryuji: Yeah but one day, someone will find it

Taiga: And whoever does, they'll be the one who's supposed to find it

Both: Because that's the way it's meant to be"

“Geez, I'm talking about Taiga and Maruo dating. You don't want that to happen do you? Everyone says you guys are just friends and you make her lunches and stuff cuz’ you’re just being nice. But I don't believe any of that. The truth is you love Taiga, don't ya? Well I don't care what they say I'm routing for you, for real."
