Tora Dora! Manga Download

Title: Tora Dora, Toradora!, Toradara!, Tiger x Dragon, とらドラ!, 龙虎斗
Scanlator(s): SCX-Scans, AnimeSigma, Musashi
Toradora!'s story begins with the male protagonist Ryuuji Takasu who is frustrated at trying to look his best as he enters his second year of high school. Despite his gentle personality, he has a natural outer-appearance which makes him look like an intimidating delinquent so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either.
After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryuuji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class as his best friend, Yūsaku Kitamura, and crush, Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into "the school's most dangerous animal of the highest risk level" — Taiga Aisaka — who just happens to also be in his class.

This manga is adapted from "Tora Dora (Tiger & Dragon): The Novel" which you can download HERE. I also happen to be on the editing team for the novel ^_^ ..... Enjoy !!!!

Tiger and Dragon (Tora Dora): The Novel


Takasu Ryuuji begins his second year of high school trying to look his best. However, there is one thing that torments him: despite his gentle personality, he has inherited his gangster father's intimidating eyes, which often leads to misunderstandings by his classmates. But all that is about to change, on the first day of the new school term he accidentally bumps into the most dangerous being in school - Aisaka Taiga, also known as the Palmtop Tiger. Despite her diminutive appearance, Taiga has a very negative attitude and has left a "bloody trail" wherever she goes, hence her nickname.

After his unfortunate encounter with Taiga, Ryuuji does his best to avoid her. Yet by chance he discovers that Taiga has a crush on his best friend Kitamura Yuusaku, while Taiga finds out about his crush on her best friend Kushieda Minori. And so Taiga decides to let Ryuuji help her hook up with Kitamura as her "personal servant", and in return, Taiga will help Ryuuji get closer to Minori.

Due to Ryuuji's obsession with cleanliness and the close proximity of Taiga's apartment block, besides sleeping, Taiga ends up spending most of her time at Ryuuji's place. Over time, Ryuuji witnesses a side of Taiga that people normally don't see, and their relationship becomes so close that rumours begin to spread about whether they are going out as a couple.

Thus begins the clash between the Tiger and the Dragon - Toradora!

This is the first time I've attempted to be on the editing team of a novel, but the Baka-Tsuki team have, according to me, done a spankin' job translating and editing (I contributed a bit too ;-) ). Available below for download are the pdf versions of the translation work that has been done uptil now by Baka-Tsuki. The English Adaptation is written by Caster13 who used the Baka-Tsuki script to adapt it into contemporary fluent English with appropriate English context (I did a comparison word by word and it's just slightly different; not noticable unless indepth analysis is done). You can read Caster13's adaptation online at Livejournal The Literary Works of Caster or download it below. All the following releases are published under the TLG Translation Common Agreement v.0.4.1.

A manga based on this novel, drawn by Zekkyou, has also been released.... You can download the "Tora Dora!" manga HERE.

Note: All the following novels are in ENGLISH.
