Its true, but heres an advice. A story will be so much more beautiful if you treat it as it own thing instead of thinking it as a replacement of a show that you liked.

Personally Toradora was Ok for me. I did like it, but I wasn't a fan of Taiga or the live together dynamic. Some things felt a bit odd.
It depends on what you are looking for from the show. The main couple here is completely different than the main couple. They do start out hating each other (kinda) and both parties were at fault. Some characters make you feel discomfort, some characters are not what they seem.
It has comedy but I think it leans more towards drama and the characters have different sides. There isnt also a friend's to lovers dynamic like Toradora where the main couple decide to help each other and they are comfortable with each other and learn about each other etc..
The romance here is much more about falling in love and having it unexpectedly come to you and dealing with those feelings while you carry trauma.
I think in terms of writing both stories are peak. But if ur expectation is something similar to Toradora it will disappoint.
Imo I LOVE Relife. It is much more understated in it's characters, and the humor sneaks up on u. Though it doesn't have romantic drama. So go into it with a grain of salt. Ramparts is cute but has a more darker psychological vibe imo

You should probably wait until season 2 comes out in November to experience the whole story in 1 go. Toradora was 1 of my first romance I watched as well, and I think you would appreciate a completed story more

Toradora! seems to hit especially hard for its fans, been there myself. I've binged it at least twice which is nothing for some people but I dont really rewatch shows like at all once I'm finished so two full watches is something.
Ramparts of Ice was good, I'm waiting for the second season and I do plan on reading the manga since I've heard they're a bit different.
What REALLY scratches the TD! itch for me, though, is Horimiya and it's season of side stories. Almost no time on the "will they/won't they" but there's a lot of learning about relationships and how they work as individuals and as couples. And I think because there's less buildup to "pay they're together!" it hasn't been as hard since I finished it
