Top 3 ToraDora wholesome yuri ships

Minori/Ami - ranked so high since they're both protagonists and thus there's more for me to be invested in

Yasuko/Yuri - points for one of them literally being called Yuri, #millennialyuri

Taiga/Sumire - unwholesome and I'm not that invested, but it'd be something

Just your annual reminder that Yasuko is the only good parent in Toradora.

[sunnyartsstudio]

Yasuko is easily the best parent in Toradora and she's a friggin mess.

there’s only one anime milf i respect

Book Journal Entry #2 (29/6/2025)

Book: Toradora!

Pages: 100

I started reading Toradora! Volume 5 recently (last week). This might be one of the most important volumes of the series so far. I really regret putting this off for so long. I think my attitude towards reading this series is because I already basically know what happens after watching the anime, but there's some cut stuff from the books that dig deeper into the characters too (or maybe I just wasn't as observant of this kind of stuff when I first watched it?). Anyway, I reached page 100 of the volume today. I'll bring up a few things I found notable, maybe some I could consider when I'm writing my own stories.

Now, I'm not sure if this is a result of the localisation, or if this is really just how it reads in Japanese, but the way the humourous moments are written somewhat piqued my interest. I'm mainly referring to the part where Haruta is pitching what they'll do for the cultural festival. They did a bunch of funny things like when they carried Minori "to the morgue" for suggesting a haunted house, or when Yuri tried to stop their plans. The moments felt very cartoony, like they could be translated well into an anime. I liked the lightheartedness of it all. I think it made for some nice padding between the more serious moments. It also showed Ryuuji's bond to the other boys in his class (and for a later moment, showed Taiga growing closer to the rest of 2-C as well). From where I currently stand as an amateur writer, I feel like I'm always wracking my brain on moments of character conflict that I forget that simple moments like these would be good to have too (as long as they aren't meaningless or just there for the sake of it).

Moving onto the bigger character moments, I will address one thing. Toranoko! Keepers Chapter 1 focused heavily on Taiga's father. While I was writing it, part of me regretted writing it before finishing this volume. I'm regretting that even more now, but I never liked what I wrote anyway (it was the first piece of writing I'd ever "finished", after all). Do give Toranoko! Keepers a read, by the way. I could use some feedback on my works.

I think I already had a general understanding of what was happening here when I was watching the anime, but reading made it much clearer (i.e. Taiga seeing Ryuuji and Minori grow closer making her more distant, Ryuuji projecting his own feelings of abandonment on Taiga, his inner conflict about no longer having Taiga around, that kind of stuff). One thing I definitely don't remember is that flashback Ryuuji had about him being in preschool. It gave more insight into his own inner feelings about his life in the Takasu household. There's definitely some questions about his own self worth (something about him being "okay to be alive" or something because of the whole Yasuko falling out with her family because of his birth thing). Part of me wishes this was in the anime, but I probably wouldn't have been able to appreciate it as much if I wasn't reading it.

That's all I have to say for now. Hopefully, reading this would give me a better look at Taiga's father and the narrative of Toradora! as a whole. I'm considering finishing all the light novels before I really write the main "Toranoko!" story for real.

Yasuko my beloved <3

She's incredibly underrated and mistreated, both sexualized and infantilized even in canon :(

Started my annual Toradora Christmas viewing! 🥰 Every time I watch, I appreciate Yasuko more.

When Taiga says “I made that onigiri!” And Yasu looks dead serious and says “No way! Are you a genius?!”

Incredible.
