...That's pretty much what romance is, especially when viewed from a female perspective.
And we all know that the original author is a woman.
I'd personally classify Toradora as shoujo rather than shonen/seinen, even with its male protagonist...

And rather unfortunately for your viewpoint, Taiga is a title character and thus is going to draw a lot of the focus anyway.

Thus friendship can change into companionate love and then into consummate love(romance being a part of this type) like it did in the anime Lovely Complex.
