Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka

Toradora is in a way a MUCH better version of Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka.
They both evolve around the main protagonist who has been listed as a delinquent (Ryuji in Toradora and Junichi in Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka) that meets a girl who is a hard headed mix of many different types of characters.
Yuuhi Katagiri also reminds me a lot of Taiga, but toned down a bit.
- Very similar male lead (misunderstood by public, surrounded by rumors and stories that are not true, a bit unsocial and dense);
- Kinda similar female lead (physical appearance, tsundere/himidere traits, same voice actress);
- Revolves around romance (light harem-like).
For about 5-6 episodes you will get strong Toradora deJa vu, but after that AnSS fails to deliver. The story here is a bit of a mess: they added a lot of crossroads/hints/sidestories but did not explore them at all. The ending is also very strange to say the least.
Nevertheless it is similar, but Toradora is done just right, wheres AnSS is a defocused and messy story.
