Toradora! - S01

Ryuuji Takasu is a gentle high school student who loves housework, but his kind nature is at odds with an intimidating face that often gets him labeled a delinquent. Taiga Aisaka, on the other hand, is a small, doll-like student who is anything but a cute and fragile girl. Armed with a wooden katana and a feisty personality, Taiga is known throughout the school as the "Palmtop Tiger." One day, an embarrassing mistake causes the two students to cross paths. Ryuuji discovers that Taiga actually has a sweet side: she has a crush on the popular vice president, Yuusaku Kitamura, who happens to be his best friend. But things only get crazier when Ryuuji reveals that he has a crush on Minori Kushieda, Taiga's best friend! Toradora! is a romantic comedy that follows this odd duo as they set out to help each other with their respective crushes, forming an unlikely alliance along the way.
