Thanks for the correction. I'm not familiar with the Toradora franchise, but I've encountered quite a few fans who think that the anime conclusion diverges enough from the novel series conclusion to be considered anime original (hence what I said in my other post). Whatever -- I'm not taking sides on that issue since Toradora doesn't interest me too much at the moment.

But I don't exactly want Shana to go the way of the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime series, which had to go on an (apparently inferior) anime original path when the ongoing source material was exhausted.
