Toradora! Special

Included as an unaired episode in the Blu-ray box set, *Toradora! Special* turns lunchtime into an unexpectedly spirited contest. When Yuusaku shows up with an extravagant bento to share with the class, Ryuuji can’t help comparing it to his own cooking and starts feeling insecure about his skills.

Determined to outdo the competition, Ryuuji becomes fixated on making ever more impressive bentos—going so far as to bring a rice cooker to school. A batch of salty onigiri from Taiga finally helps him see what he’s been missing: the value of a bento isn’t just in how it tastes, but in the care behind it.
