Review of Teasing Master Takagi-san
This series is quite a ride. I forced myself through the first few episodes in my second try, after dropping it in 5 minutes seeing it's similarities with the sorta boring Tonari no Seki-kun, when I first tried to watch it. I expected repetitive jokes in class over and over. Yet that is not what you will get. Through the first few episodes, still, the series is sorta weak. 6/10 at best, depending on your taste. And I do not have a taste for pure comedy. Yet, I do have a taste for romance, and I saw a glimpse of it in that first episode that mademe want to push further. Alas, I got to about halfway the series when I caught up with it's releases.
And I would watch each episode the day it came out.
Takagi's and Nishikata's charm is unbelievable. I got so attached to these two young school kids that I was smiling every time I saw them interact, and my heart got 10 ºF warmer by the time I finished the whole series.
If you like teasy, heartwarming romances, watch this.
If you don't like slice-of-life (which I'm not too fond of unless it has romance) or don't like romance comedies, well, this is not for you. But it sure was for me, and holds a place as one of the best shows in it's season no doubt. Even though it's as simple of a show as it gets.
