Toradora Manga English - zzfasr Ryuji Takasu has learned the hard way that appearances can be deceiving. Despite his inwardly sweet personality, his unintentionally sharp gaze and aggressive features give him the air of a delinquent thug, putting his chances at making friends, let alone a girlfriend, next to zero. The manga has not been finished yet, so we don't know the ending of it per-se. I wouldn't call it the furthest in terms of plot, as it doesn't really cover their third-year high school life or beyond. However, there is the Toradora visual novel that does cover what happens after their high school graduation.
Ryuji Takasu is cursed with his father's threatening face and is labeled
a 'delinquent' because of it.
Even though this makes it difficult for him to meet people, he is madly in love with Minorin, the one girl who does not flee from him in terror. Taiga Aisaka is a notorious hothead with the nickname 'Palm-top Tiger.' She also happens to be Minorin's best friend, and what's more, Taiga has a crush on Ryuji's closest friend. This unlikely duo strikes a tenuous agreement to assist one another in stealing the hearts of the ones they love.
They will face many hurdles along the way, but perhaps true love is closer to them than they think.
The bilingual PREMIUM edition will include the entire series (Eps #1-25 + OVA) on both DVD (4 disks) and BluRay (4 disks), and also include a hardcover art book (full color, approx. 32 pages) with episode guide, character and relationship info, and gorgeous full color illustrations. Content extra's will include Clean OPs (2), Clean EDs (2), Mini Episodes (4), Bonus Clip, and TVspots.

It seems to me that this comment comes more from anime rather than novels side. In anime Louise is very easy to hate as she indeed is a dumb and bossy girl, but in the novels she is much deeper and very devoted person. In fact she is much more devoted than Taiga as she is willing to give everything for her friends be it her noble title or life. Louise grows from the brat to a soul aristocrat (noble not in title, but in her inner feelings). She is not that easy to hate in the novels, though she can still be annoying at times, but again when you stuck with someone as dumb and perverted as Saito it is unavoidable. As she is in love with him, while he, though supposed to be in love with her, goes around kissing other girls as if it was nothing, thats why we see so many ugly sides of Louise. If it were Ryuuji instead of Saito we would be seeing different, much more like-able Louise I think. Same goes with taiga if she were so unlucky to be with someone as horrible as Saito instead of Ryuuji.
Anyways, bottom line is that Louise and Taiga are not that far of from each other in a sense of their development. In fact Louise gets more development than Taiga (in the novels), so I would disagree that Taiga would hate a person like Louise. Well maybe a Louise which is from the start, before development kicks in, but not later one.
As for Toradora manga - I like it more than anime as it is much closer to novels, besides Taiga and Ryuuji have much better chemistry here. Though I would personally like if they would tune down the comedy a little since I so rarely see their faces drawn in a serious manner that I start forgetting how do they look at all.
