A charmingly original depiction of tsundere Toradora! heroine Taiga Aisaka standing beneath the boughs of a cherry tree, set against the sakura. For good, if inexplicable, measure, she is wearing sukumizu.
Below you see the pantsu-reclining version, titled “Graduation”:


This fine artist, Fusataka Shikibu, describing himself only as “a person who draws”, has only these three works to credit at present, though fans will doubtless hope he rapidly expands his portfolio from here on.
His Pixiv profile.
Thanks are due to Rinfinite for introducing him.
Great stuff but I prefer Taiga's original eye color~
Ah, that would explain why I thought it was someone else completely.
Plus she has tits in this. There was an entire episode, possibly more, dedicated to her in a swimsut, lacking in oppai.
The artist is a traitor =<
She'd stuffed her chest before going out to the pool; that was the main focus of the episode.
i know something was different, just couldnt put my finger on it.. seems to moed up too
Thats not taiga, epic fail, DONT SELL IT AS TAIGA!
Mister # I agree with you.
SHE IS NOT TAIGA !!! CALL RYUJI HERE,HE WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE HER AS TAIGA!
and Ryuji said,"Sorry, wrong person.."
The only Taiga-esque feature is the hair =|
Different eyes... actual boobs... tall...
no, not even the hair
[2] I didn't know it was Taiga until i read the title.
Only 3 pieces of art right now? Sure to become a popular artist.
It looks more like Chii from Chobits than Taiga.
Dude... how the hell do you get Chii from this? It's nothing like Taiga, sure... but even less like Chii =|
Dude if she looked like that, she would be my effing favorite character.
she'd stop being mine =|
Mine too...
mine too²
Mine too!
Her expression isn't Taiga. Not pissed enough. Not tsundere enough.
There's a reason she's a tsunDERE and not just a tsuntsun.
in those pics only tere can be seen... no sign of tsun... ANYWHERE!
Let me present to you Asuka whatever-they-want-to-name-her, she is completely tsuntsun without the deredere you complain about.
Looks like Tony Taka.
Lol my thoughts exactly. My initial thought was "Tony Taka Toradora doujin!? DO WANT!"
Then I went limp at the lack of T2...
first pic eye partish
i thought the same... untill the magic vanished...
At first I went "Why is Taka changing his coloring style?" Until it hit me in the head that this is a different artist.
agree, for the first sight its T2's work for me.
T2 rival.. Detected~~~
His art is awesome....
Also reminds me of LilyLilyRose too..

at 1st i thought tony taka finally succumb to drawing lolis LOL
Fusataka Shikibu is obviously T2's loli pen-name. |3
Taiga's 17, not loli
Etna and Ulrike demands an apology from you..
Nagi is a loli including Tamaki.
sukumizu...this artist is now my favorite :D
This really is awesome. I love this interpretation of Taiga!
I agree it's not 'classic traditional' style Taiga. She doesn't have the sexy-cute Tsundere stare. Perhaps one could call this "Taiga - college years?" She does look a bit older and more 'womenly' and perhaps 'softer'- which is NOT the Taiga so many have grown to love- But it's a very cute and beautifly drawn "Elseworlds Version"- lol.
In fact, I actually think that Taiga is at her best when she acts more dere. She's one of the few characters that practically makes my heart melt, like that.
I completely agree with you, and that's why her tsundere personality is so important. Since she isn't always so sweet, it makes those scenes more powerful.
Regarding the adaptation of Taiga on this drawings, normally an artist tends to design another artist's character on their own way. Maybe he/she isn't used to drawing lolis (I know that Taiga isn't one in terms of age, but don't deny how she looks) or doesn't like it and ended up doing it on his own way. It's not the best adaptation out there, and that's why I don't like it as Taiga, but it's not bad.
Personally i hate that this can be claimed to be Taiga. It's nothing like her... at all.
Wrong eyes (colour for a start), taller (at 17, she aint getting any taller) and she'd have to become pregnant to grow anything LIKE that chest.
I'm quite sure that girls can still grow taller until they're 21.
I went to the Sakura Matsuri in Washington, DC a about a week or so ago. Sadly, I saw nothing like this when I was there.
Woot! Really nice art style but at 1st glance you wouldn't think its Taiga, and I honestly thought it was T2s work.
It's purty (yeehaw), but it lacks personality. That's a criticism I lob at Tony too.
good images but I prefer my underage Taiga
Taiga is 17 already. She aint getting any taller or bigger chested. That just isn't Taiga.
I hate to break it to you, but girls can grow in the height and bust after 17.
I only grew a decent chest after 18.
Going swimming in a sea of cherry blossoms.
Damn Taiga's new school uniform is awesome. Please, please, PLEASE post up an article if it ever receives a figma, Sankaku. I beseech you! And stuff!
you make me feel ill
Tsundere is tsun.
