are there people who complain about nagatoro? LMAO I really do not give importance to those things, I am a big fan of the series and that they criticize it as much as they want, I will continue to enjoy it.

It can mean three things if a girl bullies a man in a relationship or as anything in general:

1. She is using him
2. She views him as a weaker vessel
3. She sees him as a beta male

There is absolutely no possible way Nagatoro would actually like Naoto romantically. If I was a woman not even I would like Naoto romantically. The description said everything I need to know about the main characters
"Humans are like isolated islands, floating in the sea of fate.
Human encounters are like the collision of these lonely islands, and once they touch, there would be an effect. Sometimes, the islands would stick together, in the name of ‘interest’, ‘kinship’, ‘friendship’, ‘love’ and ‘hate’. But eventually, they would separate, walking towards the path of destruction.

This is the truth behind life."

I haven't seen anyone complain about this, I've only seen nothing but love for it.

Not sure if I'll actually enjoy this or not, it looks kinda bland but maybe it'll be enjoyable. I have seen some screenshots of the manga and they were kinda funny I guess. I'll watch at least 1 episode. Hopefully the "bullying" doesn't go too far.

That's the running theme with most -insert series here-/anti-anime outrage mobs (typically found on twitter or reddit). These people usually aren't viewers of the shows they're outraged at, nor would they have been even if there was no controversy or outrage to begin with.

We live in a time where rather than simply not watching/reading a series if you don't like it, people are now offended by its mere existence and want it censored or cancelled because it's offensive to some "marginalized" group, rather than just being honest, and admitting that they have a glass heart and paper-thin skin, and don't know how to properly navigate/handle things they don't like or that offend them.

@MoonDragon72

The "bullying" is at worst teasing, and is greatly overstated/misrepresented by the synopsis. The synopsis would be more fitting for the doujin/image sets that existed before the serialized manga came out a few years ago. In that Nagatoro actually was cruel, but the serialization doesn't have anything that even comes close.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Thank god, that description got me worried but I see it was just poorly worded. Now I can bask in the glory of this classic without worrying about its adverse effect on my fragile masculinity.

I dislike and dropped the manga, but it wasn't because of the "bully" aspect. It's just overusing the same premise over and over again. I love Nanashi's hentai manga more than this.

Well, finally I'm complaining about it. Been silent for a long time. Don't fight me.

In the manga it's cringe but I can read it, but I know that I will drop the anime. I don't know if you've seen the PV but she's just annoying. She is so noisy, it makes me uneasy. Everything in her cringe me.
But I think it's also because I'm too old, Highschool is far away for me.

That's why I don't think "bullying" is the only thing that people dislike here. Her whole personality is something that you can like or not. But I don't think you can be indefferent.
I was myself a bully (not that much, I was somewhat kind/joking but still) so even if I'm not proud of it I really don't care about teasing in anime.
This girl is just crazy this is my point. But I have no problem with people liking her too. I was just here to fact that you can dislike something else.

I do love Takagi for exemple but dislike Uzaki.

Ah yes, an anime about a young girl almost sexually harassing a boy as a lame excuse to make underage soft porn, but yeah everything is fine. I don t think it would be accepted if the genders were swapped.

I don t really mind but yes, she is also bullying him multiple times.

So yes, I can understand why people hate this, even though it s just a fiction without depth.

On the other hand, I think this was made for young male teens excited by the idea of being bullied by women. So, this kind of audience can t really be harmed by this content (at the contrary) and I wouldn t cancel it because these weird people wouldn t find their "fantasy material" then...

Eh, I read like a dozen chapters of the manga and it was pretty mediocre. All this hysteria about the show seems like it was just to get attention for an otherwise boring RomCom. It worked, too, the members have basically doubled since people started complaining about it.

the rage is the only thing i'm looking forward to regarding this anime. i just love watching people get mad over cartoons. i probably won't even watch it since i dropped the manga because it was kinda boring to me. definitely a fetish fuel for some people though so i'm not mad at it. i did prefer the vn where the bullying was much more severe lmao. it has been a few years but as far as i remember, it made me feel psychologically abused almost. and it was great!

Her personality and actions does come across as cringy so I understand why people don't like her. Yes, I have watched the PV and I loved it cos I was waiting for the manga to be adapted. I like Takagi too, her way of teasing is wholesome but Uzaki's way is just annoying but personally I like Nagatoro.

I also thought it something like a girl constantly teasing her classmate. I thought this is a BDSM anime, where the fetish is protagonist being teased which makes him blush everytime, then it keeps happening 'till a point where they actually start to develop more serious-ish co-dependent relationship. Though I don't expect it's like sexual assault level of teasing, right? Like Meliodas grabbing Elizabeth's boobs or Ecchi stuff.

The more accurate translation of the term: Ijiranaide is "toying or teasing" not "bully". Anyways people will complain because they're just the new generation of anime watchers who comes in with their Western views. This is what happens whenever a medium gains mainstream attraction.

I swear haters are going to watch the anime either way... If you already know it's not something you'd enjoy, don't watch it.

Also, people are all so quick to judge, based on the stupid translation of the title "Don't bully me, Nagatoro"; without any knowledge of the actual source material. If you have read more than 10 chapters you'll know it's nothing controversial.

This show is 100% to get a big backlash for the first few couple episodes, unless they change something. It was nothing extreme, just some classic psychological bullying first, but many people will certainly feel the need to backlash at the show for probably self-insert reasons.

I read the manga, about 6 volumes worth. Nagatoro was at her meanest in the first several chapters (made the guy cry once) and I didn't like it, but after that it turns into teasing. Now, the guy can occasionally flip her teasing around on her: Nagatoro talks a big game but can't always back it up.

Doujin Nagatoro was a monster. That's some people's fetish, I suppose.

I'll probably watch the anime if I don't have to go to a lot of trouble to do it. (My computer isn't out all the time)

How is Nagatoro even controversial? It's just a fun rom-com with the female MC teasing the male MC. I am legitimiately confused what the outrage is about. Nagatoro is legimitately one of the funniest romcom with great character development.

*loli bestiality guro doujins. Early 774 was peak 774. Honestly, I read the Nagatoro manga and there's really nothing to get up in arms about if you're already into the teasing genre.

This is another synopsis

When an introverted male student meets a girl called Nagatoro, his life is turned upside down. She first quietly observes his reaction to verbal abuse from some other high-school girls that are not well-meaning, realizes that oddly enough in his case it may be exactly what he needs, and so begins a sequence of her teasing him.

Nobody has actually talked about the adaptation into the anime part, I have a complaint with how the colors are in the show. Most scenes (at least the ones shown in the trailers) have a really saturated color pallet. I don't really feel like it suits the show at all because its just supposed to be a fun show. Another thing is I dislike the way that just the main characters eyes are unique but then the other characters are just bland. Not really liking the animation aspect of the show so far but we are going to have to wait and see if they made any final production changes which I doubt they did. Also for the story, I hope it stays true to the manga and tries to show the characters expression at least decently.
