Apparently the ending spoiler[ is het. There's a timeskip, and the protagonist has an off-screen boyfriend. ] Which means I won't be bothered with it. The whole story is pretty bad, to be honest.


Now, I'll be honest. I didn't follow the manga. I read the first chapter and when I thought about reading more, I saw everyone saying the yaoi part took most of it, so I gave up.
Now, my problem with what I saw about the ending is spoiler[that both yaoi and yuri couples are IMPLIED to be in a relationship, but the het with a guy we don't even know who is and the protagonist is there, cleary stated with no way to interpret it another way. What is a pretty dishonest move for a story that was supposed to be about homossexual relationships and would just make pretty much everyone mad.]

The author also doesn't seem to be neither a yaoi or yuri fan by her social accounts, so I don't get what she wanted to do with this manga.

So, I read the last chapter of Nameless Asterism to see what all the fuss is about, and spoiler[there is no dude that the protagonist hooks up with? It seemed to imply that her first love(her crush on one of her friends) didn't work out, and her two female friends would probably become a couple in the future.] So unless there's a super-secret bonus heterosexual chapter that I'm unaware of, the author didn't pull a "tee-hee gay feelings are fleeting" kind of ending.

Also I've got to laugh at the implication that the manga should be interpreted by the stuff the author retweets on their twitter account.

Just read the extra page on chapter 19. That was a extra page time skip that came just on the tank.
It's even worse that the author waited until people bought it to drop the line.
I'm not saying we should judge the author by that, but when they do a poor job on a genre they're not even a fan of, we start to think about it.

As a fan of Toradora!, I only have this to say... FINALLY!!!!! Okay... one more thing... THANK YOU SEVEN SEAS!!!!!

Also, I'll be buying the new Orange volume...

Between the yuri offerings they have and these things, Seven Seas is the top manga/light novel publisher in my book!

How do the Toradora LNs compare to the anime? Are there significant differences?

Not major... There are slight differences at the end, some for the better, some not. No relationship changes if that's what you're asking. Just small details. I would personally rate the build up to the ending better in the anime, but the actual ending better in the light novel. But that's just me.

The anime was amazingly faithful considering it had to squeeze ten volumes into twenty-five episodes (and two of those eps were anime-original, and a third was based upon a side story). There's some material cut, mainly dealing with side characters (the teacher is particular is much better developed in the novels) and Ami had her final character arc truncated. The biggest changes are with the ending -- because the last novel was still being written while the anime was in production, Mari Okada had to base the last few episodes upon an outline. The overall plot is the same, but there are differences in Ryuuji's motivations, the involvement of Taiga's mother, and the repercussions they face at the end.
