To anyone who is put off by the age gap concept but decided to check the comments section: give it a chance. You'll be more content with the story and conclusion than you suspect. If you absolutely won't be convinced without a confirmation or denial:
I'm genuinely impressed that they stuck to the main theme. From the beginning, it was clear that the story was about moving on and picking yourself up, but I thought the author would wuss out and have them remain static and become a pair. The entire read had me feeling cautious because I thought...
>live-in maid who is clumsy
Yeah, this is probably where I dip out. The premise is cute, but it also looks like it was designed to go absolutely nowhere.
@MadSweeney I actually think it was a pretty hopeful ending for Nakamura. She seems very much at peace. We see her both interacting with others casually and also walking around by herself. Between that and what her mother said, it seems that she's finally able to actually deal with herself being...
This looks like it could turn out to be really sweet, looking forward to-

Actually you know what fellas I just remembered I had a senior thesis to write on Toradora guess I won't be reading this after all see ya
@thelonewolf
WhisCalifa pretty much hit it on the head. The most telling part of it is the fact that we literally got parts of the story from her POV showing that yes, she is absolutely this obsessed with Kazuya. No matter how poorly this story develops, I don't think even this author is stupid...
@WhisCalifa69
What makes you so sure about Ruka? I wouldn't be surprised, because she's a crappy plot device whose purpose in this story is basically to be a false lead and to paradoxically speed up the main couple's romantic development by hindering it, but you got any leads specifically?
I keep checking back in after I swear that I'm done with the series, HOPING that Kazuya's gotten some balls. I applaud stomping into her dying grandma's room with the computer to let her see the movie, but holy mackerel he's still such a giant weenie. And even spends a good part of the funeral...
@openeeyes They're pros in the sense that "at least it's not Domestic Girlfriend", but it's the same kind of angle and is still pretty sloppy about it.
Yeah, gave the first volume a try, but it's really not sticking. It feels like it wants to be Domestic Girlfriend, but no triangle and less punchable protagonists.
Hoping I'm not the only one mildly annoyed that her "mental imagination Tadashi" is dark-skinned. Definitely not a dealbreaker, but it's still kinda "wtf".
This chapter may have provided some actually interesting development, assuming that we are to take Tsubaki's statements at face value and...
>casually ignoring the obvious reality of the situation and deliberately misinterpreting what happens and inserting their own fantasies to create their ships
This girl is a caricature, for sure, but it's a caricature that's hilariously spot-on to real fujos - speaking as somebody who is...
