Review of Teasing Master Takagi-san

Teasing Master Takagi-San’s first season isn’t exactly what I want out of this style of anime, but it honestly did better than anticipated. I actually do appreciate the comedy within the show between the two leads but honestly prefer the dynamic of the 3 side girls. They are a major highlight for me. As well as Nishikita’s constant need and desire to get one over Takagi. His internal monologue is very believable and grounded for a young boy like that. And it’s also just absolutely funny how he goes from very simply trying to humiliate Takagi in some way to being wary of any possibility shecan pull one over on him. By no means my favorite kind of comedy but it was enjoyable.

In terms of other stuff, I generally like the music and backgrounds, but the character design took some getting used to. They very much are not my cup of tea and even if I grew used to them, I still don’t think I really liked them.

But otherwise Teasing Takagi San is a mildly good slice of life school romcom that I can mildly recommend to those interested in that kind of stuff.
