I didn’t get the same emotions while I was reading it as I did when I was watching the anime and reading the light novel. A lot of other stuff is shortened or cut and it leads to the pacing feeling kind of rushed and I think it’s the worst of the three versions of this volume. The manga completely cuts Minori suggesting that she might be gay, as well as the part where Ryuuji and Taiga go around the school festival. In both versions, Ryuuji’s just kind of like, “I hope not” and they move on, which isn’t the best reaction, but for the time this was published, was definitely not as bad as it could have been. In the light novel, Minori uses the word “lesbian”, while in the anime, she just says that she might like girls (I am referring to the Japanese version of the light novel btw for all I know, the English version translates it differently). If you were curious about the part where Minori tells Ryuuji that she might be into girls, it’s in the light novel, but the wording is a little bit different. Rie Kugimiya does such a fantastic job voicing Taiga in these episodes and it pays off and makes the whole thing way more memorable. The animation is gorgeous, the music is fitting, and the voice-acting is amazing. Overall, I do prefer the anime for this volume. I think they just made it more clear how selfish Taiga’s dad is, like he’s taking Taiga out for dinner until very late and isn’t taking her schooling into account, and the anime has this scene where Yasuko mentions that she saw Taiga’s dad moving all of Taiga’s furniture out of her apartment while she was at school and I’m pretty sure that’s anime original. They shortened some parts, like there’s a lot more time with them going around the school festival in the light novel, and I think they may have added a couple of things too. The anime adapts this volume in episodes 11-13.
I know that “unmarried lady teacher” is a trope in media but I got annoyed at all of the comments on how she’s a sad 30-year old woman after a while.
HOW DOES TORADORA LIGHT NOVEL END FULL
While this is my favourite volume in the series so far, I still can’t bring myself to quite it rate it a full 5 stars, mostly because I think the anime is a bit superior and there are some jokes at the expense of the teacher that I just didn’t find funny. And, yeah, I just love Ami, and her interactions with Taiga in this volume are really interesting. It does feel a little sudden, given some of her interactions with Ryuuji just last volume, but I think it’s great that she’s able to be more comfortable with herself around her classmates. Still, the climax of this volume is really good and exciting and makes the volume well worth the read, and I really enjoy seeing this exploration of what makes Taiga so distrustful and aggressive towards others.Īmi shows a lot of character development in this volume as well in that she’s more willing to be more openly hostile towards Taiga around other people, and she’s willing to come off as silly in public.
It’s understandable that he would act the way he does, but that doesn’t make it much less frustrating. His actions are understandable, but I spent most of the volume just wanting him to have a conversation with Taiga or Minori about how Taiga’s dad has acted in the past. As a result, Ryuuji insistence that it’s good thing for Taiga to reunite with her dad does end up being a bit frustrating in this volume, especially if you already know how things are going to turn out. Taiga’s dad tries to come back into her life, and this is the volume where you start to really understand why Taiga is the way she is. This is the School Festival volume, and after some fighting, the class decides to put on a pro-wrestling show.
