Toradora
Top 10 Best Romance Anime You Can Watch Right Now
Sometimes the whole “love at first sight” concept can get a bit repetitive and dull. Toradora chooses to go for a different method instead, with protagonists Ryuji Takasu and Taiga Aisaka starting off as frenemies who use each other to get closer to their respective crushes. Appearances are truly deceiving as Ryuiji isn’t the delinquent he looks to be, while Taiga houses plenty of spirit in her tiny frame.
While they start off with an awkward truce, the both of them slowly become good friends. Their newfound romantic interest for each other begins to sprouts in the later episodes, adding to the expanding mess of feelings each friend in their clique has for each other. Toradora is iconic for being one of the best romance anime because of how it practically handles and juggles emotions without seeming too overdramatic. The series tries its best to be grounded despite the many uses of anime tropes, which actually tend to work out well.
