Tenryu: No need to apologise, I’m always happy to answer questions about the series that I’ve written review on.

There is a short story at the end of volume 2 that first introduced the main character of the spin-off novel, but it’s not necessary for understanding the main stories in the spin-off. There is a final story with Taiga as the main character that you may not understand some of the details of without having read the short in vol. 2, but otherwise you should get full enjoyment out of the book.

@Lupus; sorry if i’m posting this question after such a long time, and for being mostly off topic, but if i were to read the Toradora spin off novel would i be required to read any of the previous novels? will just watching the anime be enough?

Kanzaki: try the link in my previous comment, most of the light novels they have available for download are in simplified Chinese. I’m ethnically Chinese.

I’d be reading light novels, but the only ones I ever found are Traditional Chinese text and I can only read simplified. Btw Lupus are you an ethnic chinese or someone who took chinese as a foreign language?

Ryan: I looked around a bit online, but there doesn’t seem to be any plans for translating it into English (officially or otherwise) anytime soon.

GC: BADASS ANIME BLOG COMMENTOR.

DiGi: But people have this expectation (rightly so) that since I wrote a review in English, I must’ve read the novels in English. I tried to crush that expectation at the beginning of the review so people wouldn’t pester me about it in the comments, but it doesn’s seem to be working.

Elva: The simplified Chinese title is the same as the Japanese kanji one. In traditional Chinese it’s written as 文學少女. It’s pronounced, in Mandarin, as Wen Xue Shao Nv. I’d say it is one of the more difficult light novels in terms of vocabulary.

Soso: It’s available for download, in Chinese, at www[dot]lightnovel[dot]cn.

You’d expect an English review to be about something in English, BUT YOU’D BE WRONG.

Since when have any of your novel reviews focused on anything available in English? ^^;

This seems oddly satisfying. At first I was thinking something like Mushishi, but darker. Damn, where’s the ENGLISH !L!L!L!
