Toradora!

Ryuuji Takasu is gentle and loves cooking and housework, but his intimidating face makes nearly everyone assume he is a delinquent. Taiga Aisaka is the opposite: tiny and doll-like in appearance, yet her explosive temper has earned her the schoolwide nickname “Palmtop Tiger.”

An embarrassing accident brings them together and reveals a useful secret. Taiga likes Ryuuji’s best friend Yuusaku Kitamura, while Ryuuji likes Taiga’s best friend Minori Kushieda. They agree to help one another reach their respective crushes, but that plan means spending more time together, sharing meals, fixing each other’s problems, and becoming far too involved in one another’s lives. While both keep looking toward someone else, the relationship they never planned begins growing directly between them.
