I would say that Taiga always seemed to me to be the stereotypical anime tough girl, from what I knew of the anime, and I was right! Especially in the first chapters, she seemed to be massively tough on the outside, but hiding such a dear heart on the inside. Lady Teresa Christina: I have not seen the anime, but I have heard a lot about it. By the end of volume one, I was certain Taiga and Ryuuji were meant to be-I didn’t feel that way when watching the series. TWWK: I definitely thought it was an interesting choice the animators made in how quickly they breezed through the material, as if they felt there was TOO much intimacy between Ryuuji and Taiga early on. I don’t think it hurt the anime too much in the greater scope of things, given that the important parts were covered, but it was really nice to go more in-depth in the light novel, as I felt it made it clearer how close Ryuuji and Taiga have grown even this early in the story.

After reading the volume I rewatched the corresponding episodes of the anime… which was only the first 2 episodes.

Stardf29: What stood out to me most was how the light novel expanded on so many scenes.
