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 let's hope it's not Yutaka (lol)
Nishikata (CV: Kaji Yuki)
The protagonist of this work, and one who could also be called the heroine (lol). Every day, Takagi-san teases him in various ways, and although he tries to get revenge somehow, everything backfires in front of Takagi-san, and he ends up being teased even more instead. He has a completely normal personality as a middle school student, and is basically a serious boy who thinks, speaks, and acts his age. He is a pure-hearted Nishikata-kun who adores reading a shoujo manga called 100% Unrequited Love.

The memorable first teasing scene that took place in the first episode of the anime. Just as Nishikata was planning a plan to surprise Takagi with a jack-in-the-box, Takagi, the strategist, saw through Nishikata's plan, which was far too poor, and before he could put it into action, the other person foiled it in advance, and Nishikata ended up reacting as expected, resulting in a miserable defeat (lol)

Nishikata knew that Takagi-san was in the classroom, but she was nowhere to be seen. There, Takagi-san's slippers could be seen suspiciously from under the podium, but Nishikata also learned that it was a trap, and the real target was in the locker behind! He opens it with great enthusiasm, but she isn't there. Nishikata wonders where she could have gone, but at that moment Takagi suddenly appears from behind the curtains, teasing him once again in a heartwarming scene.

Takagi-san comes to Nishikata, who is watching the swimming class due to an injury, because she is not feeling well. And as usual, she continues to tease Nishikata, but Nishikata does not respond with much enthusiasm. When I asked him where he was looking, he gave me a cold reply, and at that moment, Takagi-san got a little annoyed. "They say that guys only look at girls' breasts," she said, and it was a rare scene where she got a little angry, assuming that Nishikata was chasing girls' breasts, and it was somehow very fresh and cute.
Famous Scene #7: Nishikata-kun is the Same as Ever (Anime Episode 3)

Nishikata thought that the drink that Nishikata was drinking would embarrass Takagi-san by giving her an indirect kiss, but Takagi-san showed no signs of embarrassment. In fact, Nishikata, who was given the kiss back, was the one who became very conscious of it and became very embarrassed, which made for a cute scene.
Famous Scenes #6: Takagi-san's Whistling (Anime Episode 4)

Seeing that Nishikata seems to have caught a cold and looks a little sick, Takagi-san refrains from teasing Nishikata. But it was a very cute scene where he couldn't help wanting to tease Nishikata. Nishikata was also worried about not being teased by Nishikata, so he pretended to be cheerful and ended up being teased even more than usual. The two of them have a really wonderful relationship (distant look)
Famous Scene No. 5 Little Devil Takagi-san (Anime Episode 5)
Nishikata's plan is to do a back flip on the horizontal bar. Having gained confidence from being able to do a back flip the other day, he has decided that the next time he is challenged, he will do a horizontal bar contest. However, there is no proof that Takagi-san cannot do a back flip. So Nishikata comes up with a plan: he will never do it if she is wearing a skirt and uniform, and that he will win, which is sneaky Nishikata (lol). In the end, Takagi-san does a back flip, but the condition is that he must turn around while Takagi-san is doing it, and if he looks back, Nishikata loses. In the end, Nishikata doubts whether she is really doing it and turns around, and the double whammy of her really doing a back flip and wearing shorts under her skirt means that he honestly admits defeat.
Famous Scene #4: The Two of Us on a Rainy Day (Anime Episode 3)

It seems that Takagi-san forgot her umbrella, and although it's doubtful whether she really did forget (lol), this is the scene where they end up going home together under Nishikata's umbrella. Nishikata's shoulder is wet, so Takagi clings to him, thinking he should get closer. Sigh... (laughs) Nishikata gets embarrassed after this, which gets him teased a lot. They really have a wonderful relationship. But if they were doing this as middle schoolers all the time, they'd definitely get teased by callous classmates and seniors. Is this normal for young people these days?
Famous Scene No. 3: Sharing a Secret (Anime Episode 5)

Nishikata is seen buying a shoujo manga, and is depressed that his weakness has been exposed, but Takagi-san speaks to him in a rare kind voice. She feels bad that Nishikata is the only one who knows her secret, so she tells him hers too... and that secret is... "I like you, Nishikata." Yes, that's right, she's having fun watching Nishikata's embarrassed reaction, she's teasing him... But isn't she serious, Takagi-san? It was a sudden confession, but, well, it ended with Nishikata being teased as usual. But, well, you know? (lol)
Famous Scene No. 2: Takagi-san Fluttering (Anime Episode 12)

I'm sure everyone who has seen this has agonized over the same thing. The letter inside the handkerchief that Nishikata returned to her was simply a word of gratitude, but Takagi hides her face and kicks her legs in delight. He's usually so flirtatious, but it's really adorable to see him get so happy when it's him. Including the fact that they were next to each other again after the seating arrangement just before this scene, it was a supreme scene that really made me writhe in agony.

This is also the best scene that made many viewers die in agony. It's a scene that is synonymous with the work Teasing Master Takagi-san. Nishikata is a little sulky and looks away. Takagi-san calls out to Nishikata, who had been hesitant to look at him for a while, but finally does, saying, "You're finally looking this way." This line is sure to have convinced many viewers to continue watching. It was an undoubtedly wonderful, memorable scene that showed off Takagi-san's character to the fullest.
