Stands out from different romantic comedies. Definitely in it's own category that's for sure. Anyone who compares say Clannad, or Anohana to Toradora is crazy. I've watched those anime's both which are romantic comedies and compares nothing to Toradora in the slightest. This show had great plot and character development. As the story progresses, we get to see the real sides of everyone which makes for a great story. This anime comes with a lot of unpredictable scenes which sets it apart from other romantic comedies as well.
