The obvious similarity pertains mostly to the main female characters of both manga, tiny but very proud and violent. Taiga even looks almost exactly like Louise except with brown hair.

In these two serialisations, we follow male protagonists who have a scary appearance, but are kind-hearted.

- Couple that is together for reasons not related to romance - Gradual blooming of romance in both, there's no 'Dai suki' right off the bat - Both intersperse a lot of comedy amidst the romance, the bulk of the material is actually comedic with romantic plot advancement sprinkled in between. - Nisekoi definitely has more harem elements to it than Toradora! does if that floats your boat. - It is fairly obvious early on in both series who MC is going to end up with, but it is harder to tell in Nisekoi than in Toradora! if you like that sort of thing.

Not only written by the same author, but both Toradora and Golden Time illustrates romance with its small cast of colorful characters. There is drama involved in both series as characters fall in love and experiences it through hardships, misunderstandings, but also joy. There are love triangles that becomes complicated through various events. And as relationships develop, so too does characters' emphasis on their development.

In both of these serialisations, the female protagonist requests assistance from the male protagonist to get closer to her crush.  
reportRecommended by radiantfire
Both are stories about a boy and a girl working together to get their crushes only to fall in love with each other instead as they spend more and more time together.

Both are comedy romance manga, which are set in highschool, and in both one of the Mcs struggles with thier intimidating appearance.

These manga have a similar relationship dynamic -- a domestic minded guy ends up taking care of his neighbor, and they end up becoming good friends with no notion of romance at first. But these manga are still so different you definitely won't feel like they're just copying each other, which is a problem I have with some recs. Toradora is a high school romantic comedy, while Tonari wa Nani wo Kuu Hito zo is a cooking manga with a romance in it, in a college setting.

Similarities include: love polygons involving students attending the same school; similar character designs and aesthetics (particularly the main male character); and a comedy narrative that sometimes mixes in drama to progress plot.

both are about a girl and boy who are working together to get each other with their respective love interests whilst developing feelings for each other, both have tsundere type characters as girls and push-over like characters for boys, but toradora is the better option if your looking for a faster story pace and love interest, likewise if your looking for slow developments go for, ill make you an otaku, you make me a riajuu which would be more to your tastes.

Both are comedy manga with characters in highschool. Toradora has more of a romance focus while Plastic Neesan is more comedy focused. Also the two protagonists behave like spoiled brats which can be quite funny at times. 
reportRecommended by xShinigami3125
Both are romantic comedies set in highschool with very stuck up and prideful MCs, which are surrounded by a bunch of lovable idiots while they get close to one another. 
reportRecommended by xShinigami3125
The stories clearly show the bad sides of many of the main characters that are similar, such as being violent, hot-tempered, and deceitful, but the characters also have good sides. A main character has something in common, namely Haejoon and Ryuuji. He has a scary appearance but is kind-hearted and was raised by a single mother.

If you're looking for cute and small female lead, you've got it in Salty Studio and Toradora! Though the tone in both comics are a bit different, the sweet romance and empathetic characters are very fun to read.

Henshin Ganbou! is a manga about a romantic comedy, the same way to Toradora, this wouldn't be enough to deserve a recommendation, if it wasn't for the fact that both manga have a similar plot progression, of course this is still limited because one is just a one-shot, but once you notice it's hard to miss.

If you like the female protagonist in any of these series, that is tsundere for the most part, you're almost bound to like the other one, from personality, action, romance, even the character design is similar, there might be some influence from one to the other going there, Zero no tsukaima is fantasy and romance with the isekai type of plot, while Toradora is romance and slice of life with a much more mundane setting, but everything that you may like from the protagonists and the romance aspect is present in both.

Both male protagonists are judged by their looks, they also both have a relationship with a psychotic woman. Both of these titles are comedy although transfer student is more action whereas Toradora is more drama 
reportRecommended by cassinos
Both of these romantic comedies revolve around a male protagonist whose kindness has attracted a number of female characters. 
reportRecommended by radiantfire
Although the plots diverge later on the beginning of both are rather similar. The two scariest people in the class get together (though in toradora it is a seemingly platonic relationship) and hilarity ensues. Both are a good read, so if you like one i'm sure you will like the other.

even though the characters are very different you still get the same warm and gentle feeling from both mangas

Both are works of Yuyuko Takemiya and have the same genres; Comedy, Drama, School Life and Romance. Toradora is about a male lead who's in love in the female lead's best friend and the male lead is in love with the female lead's best friend. Watashitachi no Tamura-kun is about a boy who's in head over heels with his middle-school love who departs far away and meets a girl in his new high school who falls in love with him.

If you like your female protagonists on the petite side, don't be afraid to check this out. While Toradora! is not as 'mature' as Toshiue no Hito in terms of both graphic scenes and character development, the plot and art quality are both solid, with real romantic development (and conclusion).

Both Female Character are short and aggressive person and treat the male character like a dog

The two male protagonists both have a scary thug like appearance but are surprisingly soft and kind-hearted.

Toradora! and Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou has a lighthearted atmosphere involving a small yet colorful cast of characters. The main protagonist forms complicated relationships with others including a girl with a particular stubborn personality. But despite this, there's genuine connections between the two main characters. Comedy is also played out with a lot of gimmicks although can be surprisingly funny with clever timings. There's also romance in both series although Toradora's plot gets more complicated as the story goes on.

While romance is part of their themes, Toradora and Need a Girl puts the focus of relationships as a top priority in their story. Both series adapts main male characters who are plain with no special trait or talent. On the other hand, they get involved with girls who are way out of their leagues. Both series adapt also has comedy although Need a Girl adds more flavor to some mature themes. There's also an absurd amount of misunderstandings when it comes to relationships that really finds its way throughout both series. Recommended for fans of rom-com. 
reportRecommended by Stark700
Both of these titles are strongly typified by the romantic attractions present amongst a group of friends. Despite the jealousy and heartbreaks many of the characters experience, friendship still comes out on top. 
reportRecommended by radiantfire
It's the dog/master relationship. We have a pretty strong and in-your-face girl owning a male classmate who's basically a rebel (Ryuuji who's the male dog is not a rebel in Toradora!, he just looks like one. ^_^). From that relationship seems to be growing something deeper. Plus a lot of feelings were hidden behind the guise of dog/master.
