Yuyuko Takemiya
The biggest high school event of the year has arrived—the class trip! What was meant to be a sunny adventure to Okinawa, has unfortunately turned into a snowy escape to a local ski resort. While Ryuuji's fellow classmates are managing to have fun and make the most of this curveball, Ryuuji's feelings for Taiga and Minori have him miserable and tied up in knots! And just when things couldn't get worse, Taiga has gone missing...and there's
...After endless strife, Ryuuji and Taiga have finally found some common ground and can at least tolerate each other (sort of). Their relations may be on shaky ground, but it's their disdain for popular teen model and recent transfer student Kawashima Ami that unites them. The battle with Ami has moved to a new front: swim class! A tasteless insult cannot go unpunished. There will be war (in the pool) and the winner will take Ryuuji as her spoils.
...School elections are just around the corner! That should mean it's go time for Kitamura, but for some unknown reason, he's bleached his hair and is refusing to run for Student Council President. The drama sends Taiga into a flaming rage and it's not long until she is rampaging into classrooms and getting into fights. Just what is the Palmtop Tiger up to now?
The day of the school's annual Christmas Eve Party has arrived! Taiga has worked hard to throw a great party for the class—particularly for Ryuuji. In the meantime, Ryuuji has decided to use this occasion to finally confess his feelings to Minori. But when Ryuuji notices that Taiga has left without enjoying the very party she helped plan, love will have to wait!
Let the face-off begin! Popular teen model Kawashima Ami has just transferred into the same class as Ryuuji and Taiga, and things couldn't get off to worse start. Ryuuji and Taiga know Ami's secret— that the angelic persona she presents to the world is a lie, and she's really a selfish, bossy brat. Taiga becomes the first target of Ami's viciousness, and the "Palmtop Tiger" is not amused! So begins a war of epic proportions between two ferocious
...Summer vacation is here, and the whole gang heads out to Ami's summer home for a beach vacation! Taiga and Ryuuji hatch a plan to scare Minori out of her wits so Ryuuji can swoop in and come to her rescue. However, when Kitamura overhears the cunning scheme, he demands to be let in on the action and drags Ami along for the ride. What soon follows is a trip into madness as the kids venture into a small cave by the beach where untold horrors await...
...The gang is back in school and it's nearly time for the Culture Festival. Ryuuji and Taiga and the rest of Class 2-C can't figure out what to do for the event, until a random lottery pick tasks them with presenting... a pro-wrestling performance?! Over on the home front, Taiga's dad has decided to pop back into her life. The possibility of a divorce with his current wife could mean a reunion with his estranged daughter, but Taiga doesn't trust
...As part of Taiga's Ms Festival pageant routine, her deadbeat dad was supposed to stand up and be introduced to the audience. But as the fateful moment approaches, Taiga realizes her mistake in trusting the man, as her father proves to be a no-show. Taiga is crestfallen! To rectify the problem, Ryuuji runs for Mr. Festival himself, literally. Winning a race filled with obstacles guarantees the victor the title of "Lucky Man" and earns him the right
...Ryuji Takasu thought that his ill-fated luck had turned around now that he was in Junior High and sitting next to the girl of his dreams, Minori Kushieda. Ryuji was wrong; for after he unwittingly crossed the most feared and fearsome girl in school, Taiga Aisaku, everything went off the deep end! It's taken time, but Ryuji and Taiga have slowly found some common ground and can at least tolerate each other. The problem is everyone in Ryuji's class
...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. It's Ryuji's first day in junior high school and it seems as if things are looking up. He gets to sit in between his only friend, Yusaku, and, more importantly, the
