Teenagers and early-twenties sometimes have difficulties to follow her joke. I'm just wondering. No deeper meaning. I expect there will be a scene relating to TaraSpa in the TV show. |

Well, there are even shounen manga (<-- target readership) with mostly female readers (<-- actual readership) LOL, but it's still shounen manga.

Sweet. I've been interested in this since I saw the artwork. I also found it interesting that Kinoko Nasu (Cocreator of Type-Moon) himself liked this series and reviewed it.
I would like to here another seiyu play a tsundere this time. I've heard Rie Kugimiya so many times now.

Dear oh dear... Maybe it's time for me to buy the novels and read them beforehand.
But that would be another 50-70 dollars out of my wallet... And just a thought, but that manga cover is pretty unattractive... First thought when I saw it was "wrong book?"... Mah, looking forward to this one, for now. Oh, and NeoSam, since you seem to have read the light novels, I'd like to ask about how the novels are. Like, how is the comedy, story, and those type of things.

Cough cough... Yep, time to buy it. For the simple reason that this was done by the person who wrote "Watashi-tachi no Tamura-kun" (though I've only read the manga, and not the two volume novel yet). Never even noticed... Yet the manga covers for "Watashi-tachi no Tamura-kun" is so much prettier... Thanks for the link.

Anyway I remember that on April 1st, 2007 the illustrator of the "Watashi-tachi no Tamura-kun" said that it was going to get animated >.< but it turned out to be an April Fools joke >.< This time I though the same was going to happen with Toradora! (an April Fools joke), but no, it turned out to be really getting an anime

I wonder if it's bad to say that this series won me over through its super cute light novel covers? ^_^;
Taiga holding a tiger doll + her expression = waaaaay too cute. Also, I'm testing myself on how many tsundere-ojousama characters voiced by Kugimiya Rie I can keep on listening until I give up. Not to mention that there's still Sekirei (Tanaka Rie as Tsukiumi)... Last edited by MeganeShounen; 2008-04-03 at 08:36. |
