Random observation: In ep 2, Minorin tried to use the Satoru Pass to that guy and when he was confused, she just said something akin to "Don't worry, you won't understand it anyway. "
Yet in ep 14, when she was talking about the class pictures, it seemed like she EXPECTED him to know what she was talking about. Could this be a subtle attempt to try to get Ryuuji to know how she thinks? |

But if you're looking at it from the pure anime standpoint, then yes, it is unlikely the two would become a couple. @frubam: Yes, I noticed that too. Probably its because she's Ryuji's good friend, but only classmates with Noto, so she has different expectations of them. No plotting on Minori's part, I would say. |

I'm replying here to a comment made at the Episode 14 discussion page because I think this is the right place for it and, since it was indicated that no Off-Topic discussion was to be had there...

This goes to show that probably no one has really gotten Minorin yet.

To me, Minori is a mystery. I never really know what she's thinking most of the time. Other than in school (and the softball club) and her part-time jobs, other aspects of her life are not touched upon.

Not really, Ami knows everything nothing private; Ryuji's and Minori's relationship is quite well known among the five of them. I'm sure Ami's just assuring her that Ryuji is really up for grabs, and she won't be selfishly stealing him from Taiga if she decides to like him. Ami might be wrong though, Taiga might have really given up on ever getting Kitamura, and perhaps let her sub-conscious affection for Ryuji take over.

The reason why this people are looking constantly hiding what they are really thinking is a self-defense mechanism because of fear of how his circle of friends/family would react if they know how they (in this case, Minori) really are. In last episode, look how Minori underestimated Ryuuji's praise, saying almost that she is a bad person.

The thing is... I'm starting to think Minorin doesn't really have a darker side or something. She is what she is and that's all - I don't believe she behaves like she does out of overcompensation of personal fears or whatever. Personal opinion, of course.
But wouldn't it be refreshing, if it were so?

But she's really heartless if she had done that in order to increase Minori's guilt. Anyway if she really wanted to spite Minori, why tell her she doesn't need to be guilty anymore? |

The thing here is if Minori will be honest to her feelings.

Minori is well aware of Taiga's and Ryuji's relationship. Ami is just adding befuddling her even more. |

I dont think that Minori see Taiga and Ryuuji's relationship same way that Amin... not at all. Minori still believe in a "Tsuki" relationship between them, but to Ryuuji, they are "Namaka" (not friends, comrades would be a better definition). Amin OTOH, can see that Taiga is seriously close to Ryuuji and understands that events like "Sumire's arc" are those chances in which two friends/comrades/whatever could take that to the next level, for intimacy level that they have.
Besides, i dont think that amin were hurting Minori, i think that Amin herself was very upset or disappointed for this situation and the words just slipped from her mouth. After that Amin is full of remorseful. That moments are really a Pain in the ass, not only a handful of people are involved, one comment could involve even more people... and the way Toradora discuss this kind of conflicts is very elegant.

Furthermore, Minorin notices that the picture Taiga had is of the one she loves, and is probably thinking back to when she saw Ryuuji getting just that pic with both of them in it, and none with Taiga. At that moment, she, like Ami, probably had a few things running through her mind as well. Last edited by frubam; 2009-01-23 at 17:49. |

When Ami said, Minori has less guilt after seeing the picture... I think Ami means that Minori might be feeling guilty of being in love with Ryuuji because that would be taking Ryuuji away from Taiga, but since the one that Taiga really loves is Kitamura... Minori would not feel so guilty if she ever considers to love Ryuuji. All speculations based on what I've seen on the anime, I haven't read the novels.

Ami noticed Ryuuji's feelings for Minori just she arrives to their lives, at the begining she always thinked in Ryuuji and Taiga relationship, but in the beach she was quite frankly with Ryuuji to the point to notice that Minori is not the best choice for him. I think that Amin believes even more in Taiga that Minori. Second thought: When Amin gave Minori the whole speech about the photos and how irrelevants they are, she was saying "hell woman, that means nothing you know?". Now when Amin already knows how Minori connects photos with feelings, she is kinda saying "well, you know, Taiga doesnt love Ryuuji, you dont need to be ashame for loving Ryuuji, if you really like him though". BUT... Minori doesnt know about the picture beneath the one with kitamura and taiga.... and Amin thinks that he doesnt need to say that... someway that is not what she needs right now. Quote:

Yeah, you seem to be pretty much correct about Ami's lack of malicious intentions.
Quote:
Ami, being the queen of empathy, quickly picked this up and although she knew it was completely false, she suggested to Minori not to feel guilty about getting near Ryuji anymore. Ami quickly regretted it later because she realized her lie could do a lot of damage. |

Was it really shown at all in the anime? If it's not shown in the anime, please don't tell me what it is.
