Thanks for bumping the thread, Jyo. I owe you one. :)
The light novel is currently translated by fans, and so far the first 4 volumes are translated. I can give you the link towards the translation site, but I dunno if, in that case, that goes against the forum's TOS. Your take on this problem ?
I adore this one :D

No, I personnally wasn't. Thanks to the few hints dispersed here and there before the Kitamura Arc, it was up in the air IMO.
For the end pairing... I've read parts of voule 10 of the Light Novel, and I know how the series will end. But I won't tell, as the anime will end in the next 2 episodes. :P

So the light novel's last volume was released a few days ago, and there's 2 episodes before the anime is over as well. And let's just say that the end of the most recently aired episode, 23, was really full of tension.
I say Toradora was one of the enjoyable series I've read and seen recently, and I'll say it again and again : this one is a must-watch. Both the comedy and drama parts are extremely well handled, and the characters are deep and enjoyable.
For those who aren't convinced, here's a few awesome extracts from the anime :
