She's the same bitch-ness in both, just expressed slightly differently.

While in the anime she is a bit more physically abusive towards Ryuji, in the novel her bitchy-ness sticks out like a sore thumb from her verbal assults which is significantly toned down in the anime. Let's not even get into the catfights she has with Ami if you want to know just how bitchy Taiga can get. Heck Taiga even slapped Ami on the face, twice, during their first "meeting".

hmm

Spoiler for Novel:

Wow, I completely agree.

I was reading the second novel a few days ago. And it took me a while.. but then I realized something. Ami was physically assaulted both at the restaurant and at later at the classroom. This both time in plain sight of Kitamura and Ryuji....

And both times... it seems ridiculus in the novel setting. In the novels everything is overall less ridiculus (compare to the anime), and the acts of violence arent rampant. So those scenes really shows how unreasonable Taiga can be and how much people let her get away with.

P.S> do we need spoiler tags? and should we shift this somewhere...to novel talk?
