Teasing Master Takagi-san is a popular manga written by Yamamoto Souichirou and currently serialized in Gessan, published by Shogakukan. It was originally serialized in Gessan mini, a supplement to Gessan, from 2013, and when Yamamoto's regular Kyouko-chan, which had been serialized in the magazine, came to an end in 2016, it was transferred to the magazine and serialized there instead. It became a hot topic for its cute pranks and heart-warming youthfulness that took viewers back to their school days, and in 2018 it was made into a long-awaited anime. This time, we've selected some of Takagi-san's cutest moments to introduce to you!
What is Teasing Master Takagi-san about?

Takagi-san and Nishikata-kun are classmates in junior high school and sit next to each other in the same class. Takagi-san teases Nishikata in various ways almost every day, and Nishikata tries to think of various countermeasures to counter it, but in the end, he always ends up being teased according to Takagi-san's calculations. A special feeling slowly grows in the midst of this teasing. This is a new type of "teasing love comedy" that depicts the daily lives of these two.

The heroine and protagonist of this work. She has a crush on Nishikata, who sits next to her, and as one way of expressing her affection for him, she teases him in various ways every day, enjoying seeing his reactions. She is a very cute-looking junior high school girl with a good figure for her age. She is very smart, has excellent grades, and uses her intelligence to always read Nishikata one or two steps ahead, and whenever he retaliates, she hits him twice as hard. When she teases Nishikata, she has a very expressive face and shows a variety of smiles. By the way, just like Nishikata, his first name is completely unknown, so I hope it's not Takagi Yutaka (lol)

Takagi-san cuts off Nishikata's desperate resistance, saying it's not funny, and then bursts into tears laughing at Nishikata, who gets scolded by the teacher for doing something so pointless. A smile really suits Takagi-san.

The smile she showed when she was alone with Nishikata in the classroom. This kind of smile with a mature atmosphere is also a wonderful charm of Takagi-san. Hats off to her atmosphere that is far from that of a middle school student.

Takagi-san studying together in the library. Studying with a cute girl so close... She's very cute, even in her casual clothes. However, what I'm teaching is a teasing set that is outside the scope of the test (lol)

Takagi-san's whispering tactics. It's a prank where he whispers his confession in your ear, but in reality Takagi isn't completely lying, and even if it was a lie, it would be dangerous to have someone whisper it in your ear like that.

Takagi-san's teasing was a great success, and she has a smug smile. I really love Takagi-san with this devilish smile.

Sometimes Takagi-san gets angry. Well, he's not really angry, he's just pretending to be angry, but we don't see Takagi-san with this kind of face very often, so it's refreshing and nice.

So close, so close, so close. If he'd just hidden in the alley a little further back there would have been more room, but the fact that he purposely hides in such a place where he has no choice but to be so close to you is both annoying and cute. Ah, Nishikata...

Huh, huh? I can't hear you~? Should I say it louder? Takagi-san goes all out to provoke him. And sadistic Takagi-san who makes Nishikata say embarrassing lines (actually, they are embarrassing, but Nishikata thinks they are embarrassing) (lol) There are quite a lot of Takagi-san like this, but they are cute.

They say you should never see her doing a back flip in a skirt, but I guess it can't be helped, Takagi-san, because she's a boy, but then she says she's wearing shorts underneath and is totally fine with being seen, as if she's been tested by Nishikata and the viewers, and then she says with a dirty look on her face to Nishikata and the viewers who saw her, "naughty"... sorry (lol)
Cute Takagi-san Part 10
Takagi-san imitates Nishikata saying, "Wind, blow! Hahahaha (laugh)." Takagi-san in full middle school mode is very rare, and it's also cute that she does it over and over even though Nishikata doesn't want to.

The upward glance and casual clothes are just superb. I can't find any other adjective to describe her other than cute. Nishikata must be really lucky to be able to ride with a girl like this on his back.

Takagi-san and Nishikata are squealing with joy. They were supposed to be feeling lonely when they couldn't see each other because it was summer vacation, but they ended up seeing each other almost every time (lol). Takagi-san's schemes are really thorough and wonderful. Let's not splash around in water even though it's not the sea, it's cute though! (lol)

"He's finally turning towards me" Well, he's turning towards me, if he can turn around and see Takagi, he'll turn towards me even if his head is bent in an impossible direction. That aside, it's amazing that she can pull off such a lustrous cuteness, and she's really cute.

Takagi-san is flapping her legs. When Takagi receives a letter from Nishikata, the contents are very simple, just a word of thanks saying that he lent his handkerchief, but for him it is still a very happy letter, and he can't help but flap his hands alone in his room; it's very cute, as it seems like he rarely gets to see Takagi like this.

Takagi-san who received a critical hit (lol) It's really rare to see Takagi-san like this, and even though he was unconscious, Nishikata did a really good job. It's rare and very cute to see Takagi-san, who is always the attacker, receive damage.

Well, to be honest, almost all the scenes in which Takagi-san appears are cute (lol), so I've introduced a few that were particularly memorable. Is that all? If you think so, don't worry, because almost the entire story is cute. So, this is really just a small part of it, so please be sure to check out the adorable Takagi-san in the anime and the original work! So, thank you for reading to the end.
