Taiga Will Inspect Your Home

The above poster was sighted in the main station at Mitaka City in Tokyo, and as you can see, it illustrates Toradora’s tsundere heroine Taiga Aisaka preparing to offer a building inspection; the text reads “For the Peace & Security of Your Home, Undertake a Complete Inspection.”
As the poster explains below the palmtop tiger, a complete inspection will establish the saleability and safety of a building; it is published by the Mitaka Building Inspectorate.
The art is by Toradora signature illustrator Yasu, and bears the full authorisation of Dengeki, and of course Mitaka City. It is not immediately clear what the connection is between Toradora and Mitaka (Toradora is modelled on parts of Tokyo but addresses point to a Saitama setting).
Toradora fans are delighted by this charming yet unexpected piece of advertising, and considering the powers of moe marketing (capable of selling everything from rice to the defence lobby), it may be that a surge of interest in ensuring the structural and regulatory soundness of new construction has just begun.
On the other hand, it may be that the posters begin disappearing mysteriously…

I WANT THAT POSTER!! Seriously...with only 3 eps left of Toradora's anime..this would be a special prize...
no wonder it can disappear mysteriously~
lmao, I wouldn't be surprised if those posters DO start disappearing. I'd pull one of the wall itself if I ever saw something this epic. :P
doesnt look like taiga to me. you just racist with the 'they all look the same' talk.
"LOL" Your trolling is even funnier since you have obviously never read the manga
I wonder how much the poster would sell for...
Free if you rip it off and run.
He meant resell, not buy/acquire. For now it won't be very much probably...although I suppose you could find international buyers willing to pay a pretty penny even now...
Such a nice poster, do want!
I think I read somewhere on SC that ToraDora manga will/has ended. Does this mean we won't see a second season?. Because Index and ToraDora has been my favorite show from last fall.
The Government will inspect your home? WTF?
Home inspection?
More like home invasion.
Wow... zero privacy.
Notice the ridiculous propaganda too: "For the Peace & Security of Your Home, Undertake a Complete Inspection."
That is *so* distasteful, and repulsive!
They will invade your property to make sure it's secure and peaceful... yeah right.
I think *I'll* decide if *I'm* OK with *my* house that *I* live in.
I wonder what will happen if the SNCF goes all moe and comes up with TGV-tan, TER-tan, RER-tan, Corail-tan and Transilien-tan. :D
Moe marketing is really rolling the market of Japan. Wondering if my country would have this kind of marketing.
Please send Minorin over to my place since she's not welcome over at yours...
OH! You're my new favorite blogger fyi
"Taiga Will Demolish Your Home", more like.
I too, would definitely take one down and post it on my wall if I saw one lol
Moe Marketing, One of the greater gifts of mankind.
Exclusive poster GET!
Seconded... I would /so/ rip this poster off the wall...
so someone will be cosplaying as taiga and goes around to check up houses...make sense to me '_'
it seems not to be the first time that Mitaka City makes some anime-related posters...
moe marketing at work and interesting that this is the first time i've heard of mainstream company giving their approval for gov't to use their character for moe marketing
Just wondering, how can she inspects others' homes when she can't even manage and clean her own apartment..?
you've got a point there...
but its still cute... taiga will also act as a repoman(Repossession Service) if the inspection fails XD
indeed, though still a poster worth stealing....
I wouldn't call it stealing.
She's just adorable regardless
She's testing structural integrity.
If there's one thing she's good at, it's kicking, punching, and breaking things. If it survives a Taiga tantrum, then it's good to go.
*Hides my PC and PS2 and other precious furnitures...*
*hide my hentai doujins of toradora...*
Looks like less effort for Rena then. Taiga would actually suit being with those girls.
OH HELL NAW, now I want to work with home inspection!
I want her to inspect my bed room to make sure its 'safe' ;3
You lost me.
means he wants to get frisky...
put the ponos into the vagoo.
I would totally take one of those posters home.
Oh, and were Taiga going to do some inspections, she would be most welcome.
please inspect my house..
Which is a good thing, because mine has been infested with a serious case of Minorin for months now.
Please send Minorin over to my place since she's not welcome over at yours...
It seems like this Taiga is drawn in the light novel style more. However I would grab it just as much as anybody else.
So MANLY, do want.
Kowaii...
Don't be lame ...
Hopefully he doesn't know that means scary...my uncle can't hear the difference between "kowaii" and "kawaii"
Sooner or later it'll be a priceless collectible . . .
I sooooo want it
Taiga's height in the picture seems a bit odd, but whatever man. Cool story bro.
Odd? She's HUGE! O_o compare those shadows, lol. Fail.
She should be congratulated for uncovering a sub-scale dwelling.
WHAAA!!? free taiga poster??
*GRAB!*
mmm... look like that will be the most wanted poster...
*golfclaps*
