The long-awaited "Teasing Master Takagi-san 2" will finally begin in July 2019. In the first season, the smirking and exciting interactions between the two were very cute. I'm really curious about the relationship between these two. I've summarized their future and past relationships, so please read it before watching the second season.
What is their relationship now?
Who is Takagi-san?
This is Takagi-san, whose name is also in the title. Her first name has not been made public. She is a female junior high school student in class 1-2, and she is both intelligent and beautiful. As the title suggests, it is his daily routine to tease the boy he likes who sits next to him. He has a bit of a devilish side and often behaves in a mature manner, but the occasional childish side he shows is also part of Takagi-san's charm. It's a sweet and cute love comedy about teasing the person you like!
Who is Nishikata?
This is Nishikata, who sits next to Takagi-san. Like Takagi-san, his first name has not been made public. He is a boy who is always teased by Takagi-san and is always thinking about how to win. She is a simple, pure, insensitive, honest and kind girl (lol). She hates to lose, so when you see her frustrated or embarrassed face after being teased, you can feel a sense of accomplishment with her (lol). She is a really nice girl, so I'm sure you will like her too.
What is the relationship between the two after the first season?
Are they friends?
The two of them, who are always able to interact by sitting next to each other, gradually become closer. In the first season, Takagi's love for Nishikata was shown here and there, but Nishikata was completely unaware of it. And they've become so close that people around them are starting to wonder if they're dating. It just means they look like they're having so much fun together.
Going to and from school together
Actually, they go to and from school together every day. I don't think I could deny it if someone said they were dating already (lol), but it's amazing that going to and from school together has become so natural and normal. When you think about it, it means they've gotten quite close in about a semester. They're close enough to confess, but Takagi-san still wants Nishikata to do it. I hope they do a "confession" title one day. I'm jealous that they're in a position where they can confess at any time.
Indirect kiss
Actually, they have already had an indirect kiss (just indirectly). Takagi drinks Nishikata's newly released apple juice without any hesitation! Before drinking it, he tries to tease Nishikata by saying, "If you drink that, it's an indirect kiss," but it ends in failure. Isn't an indirect kiss a big deal for a middle school student? Of course, you can imagine that Nishikata was upset after that and couldn't drink it. Then, in return, Takagi says, "It's an indirect kiss," which makes him even more conscious of it. They're not dating despite this flirting, so what should the non-socially active people of the world do? (lol)
Sharing an Umbrella
They're getting all lovey-dovey (lol) He's tilting the umbrella so that Takagi-san doesn't get wet. This is what Nishikata is so kind about, and what I want for my son. I don't think they've ever been this close before. I can easily imagine Nishikata dying of embarrassment at sharing an umbrella after this. They go home together almost every day, and this is what it means to be more than friends but less than lovers. For girls out there, it's important to forget your umbrella so you can share an umbrella with the person you like.
I wanted to go home
Isn't this a confession? (laughs) This is Nishikata's true feelings. He already likes her, don't he? (laughs) Nishikata turns down an invitation from his friends and heads home as usual, and Takagi asks him, "Are you sure you didn't want us to go home together?" This is his response. After they disband, Takagi takes a deep breath and blushes, and she's so angelic that it makes your heart flutter. This story was picked up as the biggest incident in the first season. Nishikata's naivety was the best!
How does the relationship between the two look from the outside?
They're dating
When Nishikata and Takagi are talking in the classroom, their friends Nakai and Mano call out to them. However, Mano urges them to leave the scene by saying "Sorry, Nakai. Let's go now." This happens several times. I'm sure they think they're dating, and it means "sorry" that they're alone together. Of course they are! From the outside (even for the readers), they're dating (lol)
Naturally affirmed
Even the friends who always mess around with each other are careful when Takagi and Nishikata are together, so they don't say anything in particular and just ignore them. They probably think they're dating! They're still middle school students who don't know what to do, so they might be embarrassed to tease or make fun of them. That's how well the two of them match up, and they're officially in a relationship. But I don't want them to date yet (lol)
Will their relationship change in season 2?
Please note that there will be spoilers from here on out.
Holding hands?
This is a scene from "Mizukiri" that was revealed in the preview PV for the second season. Nishikata grabs Takagi-san who is about to fall into the river and saves her. At this point, Nishikata falls into the river in return, but it's so cute that he can't act cool until the very end. And when he saves her, he holds her hand! Nishikata says they're not holding hands, but Takagi-san seems to have been touched. They're not dating! (laughs)
Hug! ?
Is it too much of a shock!? (laughs) During a fishing contest, Takagi catches him from behind and hugs him when he stumbles after being pulled by a big fish! To be honest, it's not that big of a deal to stumble, so I can't help but think that Takagi just wanted to hug him!? (laughs) This was also a tease, but it's too much of a shock for a middle school boy who isn't used to it. I think they've gotten pretty close by this point. Being close enough to touch is pretty close.
The relationship between the two will surely deepen in the second season!
What did you think? [Teasing Master Takagi-san] What will happen? What is the relationship between Takagi-san and Nishikata? We introduced it. The two were originally very much in love, but as the teasing became more daring, their relationship, conversations, and gazes changed little by little. In season 2, we can expect even more developments that will make Nishikata sweat non-stop. Let's wait with anticipation!
