| Ryuuji Takasu is starting his second year of high school but his appearance resembles that of a delinquent thug because of his glaring eyes. He hopes to make friends with his crush, Minori Kushieda, but accidentally bumps into and is chewed out by Taiga Aisaka, a petite, sharp-tongued classmate known as the Palmtop Tiger, who is best friends with Minori. He later discovers that Taiga has mistakenly placed in his bag a love letter to his only friend Yusaku Kitamura. As Taiga comes to his apartment to attack him to recover the letter (which is actually just an empty envelope), Ryuuji stops her and she faints from hunger. Ryuuji and Taiga make a deal where they will help each other meet their crushes. Ryuuji discovers Taiga lives alone in the apartment complex next door and has a dirty kitchen, so he cleans her apartment and offers to cook for her. During gym class, Ryuuji and Taiga try to create a situation where Taiga would be left alone with Yusaku but it backfires as Ryuuji hits Taiga on the head with a ball instead. They try to set up a lunch double date, but Yusaku and Minori are called away for activities. At the end of school, Taiga tries to give Yusaku a bag of cookies she made in home economics class, but Yusaku rushes off so that she can't catch up. The next day, the classmates think Ryuuji and Taiga are a couple since they spend so much time together, such that Minori gets worried and pulls them aside. The bonus chapter follows a typical day at home for Yasuko Takasu, Ryuuji's mother who works nights at a hostess in a night club. | ||||||
