I personally thought this manga was hilarious and honestly the author has room to expand on this.

The art was pretty good honestly, I enjoyed this manga, and I just feel like there's going to be a lot of character development who knows what it may turn out to be.

I didn't really dislike honestly I liked it a lot because you hardly see any author include their tastes.

Overall its a good manga to pass by time but make sure no ones.
This is definitely pretty erotic for a starter series. It definitely is ecchi for sure on that .

(This is not a troll review by any means, I've tried my best to point out my problems with this manga)


The best way to enjoy "Haite Kudasai Takamine san" is by following 3 simple steps

1. Open a twitter account (easier to do than following this boring plot)

2. Follow the artist Yuichi Hiragi (You can find link to his profile in his introduction page in this site)

3. Enjoy the extremely erotic (and excellent) arts of Takamine-san he occasionally posts (and whole community goess berserk),without getting tainted by its poor attempt in characterization, same old cliche in narrative we've been witnessing in romcom genre for almost a ... decade now, more importantly I don't have to watch for what two cardboard characters are saying or doing

The same pathetic MC, who did a heroic noble job to help the girl a long,long time ago ; same person now has no identity aside from being "too kind for this world".
The whole character of Takamine revolves around what its target audience wants, manipulation in name of teasing. I must say I'm not one of those this manga is aimed for, simply because I never understood the appeal. So I want to explain myself.
The main character, aka Takamine has zero traits outside being a pseudo-manipulative "ojou-sama" who wouldn’t hesitate to sexually harass the boring kid of the class, because you know she's being a tsundere for no reason, she has been saved by the boring kid in the past hence she has to return this favour by threatening him for false rape accusation, questioning her status as a noble student. I can see in near future Takamine changing and acting like a "maiden in love", however that wouldn’t change the fact how it started and it leaves a bitter taste. Yeah I know this is what we call "sounds only in an anime romcom what could happen" but that doesn’t mean it's a good thing, specially when there are good romcoms/shoujo/simple romance who have utilized these cliches to new extent. This brings to my main problem with this manga, use of past events to determine the outcome.

If one new relationship is getting defined by a certain past event, that's already impeding the characters to move forward. Became worse when narrative fails to bring any new angle to view the relationship. This manga isn’t interested in doing that, they create a total bland MC for the sake of audience self-inserting and enjoying the ecchi. I can't remember a single thing this boy did, not because I lacked attention but because he hasn’t really done anything noteworthy (Aside from being that one time when Takamine threatened him for rape accusation, when I felt strong empathy for this poor kid and angered why this simply living being has to endure such pain).
For the blandness of the hero, Takamine also comes off as a bland heroine who would better be put into a hentai manga where I don't have to worry about anything except the erotica. But no, the story practically ends there and provides nothing else to offer. The one sided banter (it's not banter it's totally harassment) couldn’t convince me what cheap tricks it'd use in future to sell a couple which already was forged because of a false rape accusation, only a certain past event is directing the whole show. Which in my opinion, not just cliche but predictable too. (I've read enough Nisekoi).

To further clarify, I'm not against the idea of using certain past events to connect two characters. It can just be a coincidence, can be used to develop their feelings and sense of familiarity, however I'm totally against the idea that THIS past event will determine whether or not you would end up with the person involved. This becomes worse in harem where one girl gets certain privilege just because she'd met him before. Takamine might not be a harem but it's already using it to set the course for the manga, to sell the couple and I didn’t like it. Seriously, why not just start the manga from there if it's that important.


Here's my question,
Why is it that romcom authors, always attempt to thread the hero-heroine with certain past event which nobody remembers now but the plot compells to remind them? Why does a romcom couple have to have a shared backstory? I believe in luck but why that "lucky" event has to happen in the past? Why not now?
If Takamine's erotic body is the only selling point of your manga why should I bother reading a plot full of cliches where I can instead enjoy her illustrations author Yuichi Hiragi occasionally posts on twitter?

I want to enjoy Takamine. I couldn’t, hence I made my copium. Hope it helps

UPDATE: I've now read up to chapter 11, and even though this story is still ridiculous, I've gotten used to it and it's gotten better. The chance for the author to save itself in writing a romance is slim, but it's there and it's working towards that. So my hopes are high.

Right off the bat, if you're looking for a comedic ecchi that has you laughing and getting turned on at the same time, this isn't it. You're going to be rolling your eyes more than anything. The first chapter essentially sets up the entire plot. When you read it you're going to absolutely die ... from wondering how in the hell does someone come up with this shit. So you're probably asking yourself "Then why did you keep reading it".. Well I have to give everything a shot. Listen, Darling in the Franxx had some of the most cringey 6 starting episodes but guess who stuck through it and cried like a bitch at the end of the season? My point is I hoped it got better, and I would say it did. You begin to see a sort of interesting dynamic between the two main characters. I'm going to keep reading to see where the author wants to lead this whole story, but I will remain firm (and I'm sure many others will too) that the plot itself is just ridiculous.

I wrote this review 8 chapters in; the series is still ongoing at this point and there are no further chapters.

I will say the first chapter is absolutely the worst of all and the setup is ridiculous; I can see how many would be turned off by the events in the first chapter which portray Takamine as extremely unlikable — later characterization is far more favorable and he seems to have a definite soft-spot for Sirota whom he treats with a lot of tough love, but definitely with love and guides him into improving himself. His warped actions in the first chapter can be wished ... away by that he was never serious about it and felt he needed to push Sirota over the edge for both his own -, and the latter's best interest.

Sirota starts out and largely remains your typical faceless, spineless, male perspective character. Though in this case a couple of things deviate from the norm: he is not "perfectly average"; he is "dismal at everything"; he is so much worse than average. He is also not "oblivious to love"; he is very much aware of Takamine's flirtatious behavior, but is doubtful and sceptical of them after the latter's actions in the first chapter; this, I feel, interestingly justifies them from a storytelling device, because all too often we have a perspective character that is obnoxiously oblivious to romantic signals that the audience is completely unaware of — in this case he is completely aware; he simply does not trust Takamine and reasonably so.

Takamine as a foil to this as character is supposedly "perfect" and admired, excellent in all things. The dynamic he has with Sirota is somewhat in between that of a tough-love parent and a romantic interest. It is clear that Takamine has had romantic feelings for Sirota for a long time, and an explanation therefore is given; Takamine acts in a sexually provocative — albeit often quite sadistic way — exploiting Sirota's nice-guy personality, reads him like a book, and plays him like a violin — nevertheless along the way giving him greater confidence in himself and having him achieve things.

The art is very good; there's no denying that. Though I personally find none of the characters particularly æsthetic, that is but a personal taste.

I started reading this series thinking that it was terrible but it got progressively better; the first chapter as said is very off-putting and portrays it as brainless fan-service, but the further one goes into the story the more complexity to both characters is revealed. Judge it not on the first chapter alone.

As you can see, I was interested due to the fact there was actually a character development. Thank you, finally. But you get to the ettchi and nude scenes that create an unpleasant experience. Yes, it may be male dominant as we like female body parts to satisfy us. However, it wasn’t why I liked it. This is why there is certain misconceptions to my manga reading. I read it to understand the perspective on different manga and not to be close minded to hyped and jump on the bandwagon because those who appeal to those will be viewed as ‘normal’. However, I came to ... read this to understand what type of synopsis can be created to make manga actually interesting. I guess I got into the manga and came out with a wrong perspective because of my sucked in mentality to female protagonists. But a clear mind I can say this is a good/bad manga.

I can say it’s good because of the unique art style it has, with the way they draw the female characters make them actually beautiful. I can say that it’s sort of a way for males to appeal to their erotic fantasies, but the fact still stands that they conveyed a very realistic drawing of characters. This author knew the anatomy of females and created a fantastic artwork. The second point to why this is a good manga is the character development. I guess I like manga/anime when there is not always an ongoing trend but a twist to each part which keeps the manga engaging. Although it is more towards a very erotic view, well I guess cause the synopsis wouldn’t continue if that doesn’t happen. I can stand firm and say this character development is better than most of the etcci manga/anime which are out there so good on them for doing that.

Now on to the bad things about this manga. There are a few but I’ll break down into different reasons which are obvious.
1) Too much erotic scenes
I get that it’s etcci but come-on, it is hard to concentrate with the plot continuing this trend of nudity but in some cases they do it for comedy sake, but this is for the plot. Let me be clear, the plot. I can say that it is alright to have a few shots here and there but almost each part has the MC having fantasies over the female protagonist which is hard to view it at the end.
2) Lack of creativity
As this is kind of linking to the first point, but it’s still valid. There is no doubt that the creativity in this is too much. I mean there is no denying that there are worst ones out there, I mean there is a weird adaptation of a manga which I will disclose for now. I mean it is kind of new, but the fact is people are going to be looking and seeing that this is just a plot to let those who want a bit of peak into the erotic fantasies of women. Man, that is low, I mean it sort of made others lurk into the manga.

I mean I am showing this because I want to explain to those who are in situations where they are being judged for, for reading there type of manga’s, but I am clearing the air to show that as a manga/anime reviewer, I want to break the stereotype of those who read these are perverts. I have reasons and I do read and watch to learn and develop different perspectives on manga and anime. It helps me grow and develop more anime/manga knowledge. I think I want to make it clear to all that it is alright to see these once in a while, I guess it is not to hide into a shadow because of reading these.

Do you like manipulative, gaslighting, abusive and toxic female main characters that constantly demean the male main character and blackmail him with fake rape accusation threats in order to basically become their slave, all while they shows few to no signs of becoming nicer? Then I guess this is just the thing for you.

For everyone else, ignore this manga. The only good part is the art.

"Oh, but she actually likes him". Oh, okay, didn't know that liking someone made it okay to be a bullying, manipulative, blackmailing bitch and rarely ever showing any signs of genuine love to the male MC. I've seen people compare ... her to Senjougahara, but Senjougahara is not nearly this awful (and actually shows growth).

I read the first volume and read the latest chapter after reading it, and she was still just as awful.

I regret buying the first volume without having read a few chapters online first.

Seriously, only a some masochist would like this.

The female main character is just a manipulative princess who needs everything to go her way or else her wolrd will crumble. And the mangaka just had to give this type of person superpowers that can alter reality. She literally started the whole relationship by blackmailing him and when the relationship starts, she never misses a chance to belittle him or put him down. It's even worse considering that she likes the guy.

The guy is no better. Though harmless and is genuinely a nice person, and was definitely put between a rock and a hard place, he ... is too nice and often miss the chances to straight up say what he really feels or at least get mad enough so she knows that he too has feelings.

Overall, the fanservice is quite meh and the humor doesn't make up for all the moments that are made mainly at the guy's expense. The manga is everything wrong with tsunderes and should never see the light of the sun. And Amaterasu forbig it ever gets an anime.

Anyways, Total Tsundere Death.

I MADE AN ACCOUNT TO WRITE REVIEW FOR THIS MANGA .I REALLY RECOMMEND you to read it and not go on the bad reviews as there are high chance they dropped it without even getting to the development part. I post this review after reading 42 chps (so far only eng translated). it just starts with that note of bullying him into being lead by her but after that it just turns into teasing, i dont want to spoil but it will get interesting after u read some chps and you will really enjoy it plus the girl is very hot and the guy is ... also cute and all the erotic scenes are also very nice compared to other manga i have read . As an echhi manga i really enjoyed it . or maybe i m screwed in my head for really liking the plot . but i was looking for such a manga with lots of teasing the guy which just started with bully just like nagatoro and this was upto it

I am very grateful to whatever combination of mental illnesses I have that keeps compelling me to read these trashy high school romcoms. The infinite cycle of relationship progression and its imminent negation as just a misunderstanding has instilled bodhisattva-like patience within me, I care not about the final endgame, all I truly care about is seeing well-proportioned anime girls wearing different non-everyday outfits reworked within an updated bikini framework and this manga provides a compendium of such that rivals even my very own pixiv bookmark page.

Takemine-san reads as a confession of not only what the author longs for, but also what humanity itself ... truly longs for. There’s no subtlety within the object of our collective desire but only within the act of desiring itself.

I can only imagine the mangaka as an old overworked sculptor of buddha, each splash page of the titular heroine is a carving, rather dissimilar to those coming before it (portraying heroine in maid bikini, portraying heroine in cat ears, portraying heroine in bunny girl costume etc.) but carrying the same spiritual energy and devout care in each and every single one of them.

To keep up with this metaphor, these wooden statues are not Buddha himself but collectively help forge the greater image of him, an incorporeal manifestation of perfection antithetical of Buddha’s primary teachings, but portraying desire in a similar forgiving light. It just so happens that in this case it’s a female high school council president with an encyclopaedic knowledge of. NTR JAV plot lines.

10/10

So with only 8 Chapters out I have to give this a 6/10 overall but I don't see its potential going above an 8/10 and this is best case scenario.

The set up is ludicrous mostly because for some unexplained reason everyone remains oblivious to the MC dressing the female lead in her underwear even when it is the middle of class. For the rest it's kind of funny and interesting but you have to get past the first two chapters. However, past that the plot has a lot more to do with the character dynamics and the development of the MC from the lowest ... of the lowest in academic and physical ability to someone who will probably reach the top. How the plot will develop seems to be pretty obvious. The MC will gain confidence and ability thanks to the help of the female lead and in the end they will end up dating. No big surprise. Maybe her future fixing abilities will come into play as in Mirai Niki like this isn't the first time she has co-opted the MC into spending time with her.

The art is the best thing so far. It is not exceptional but a strong 8/10.

Character 7/10.
MC is bland so far but will gain a lot of development as that seems to be the central plot line. The Female lead is interesting but kind of cliché.

I'd give this a read as it is kind of entertaining but it is far from a masterpiece.

The story is dreadful. The FMC keeps forcing the MC to do what she wants. I don't care is the MC likes it or not but that's not a heatlhy relationship in my opinion. The art though, its absolutely amazing but the character is again, pathetic. MC never standing up for himself always being a little pet and the FMC that always blackmail people. To the author, your drawings are amazing. It beats most of other manga out there but please oh please, improve your story writing. That's all from me. (This is my first review, I hope you guys find it to be helpful

Your Review:
Honestly, I expected it to be much worse. But this manga turned out to be pretty nice, I would say.

I was reading all of these bad reviews and putting this manga off for a long time, but few days ago I gathered my strength, read 25 chapters and did not regret!

"Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san" is a good option, if you want to spend your time just relaxing and reading good drawn erotic manga. Do not try to find here some nontrivial plot, or good written characters or some other exotic things. Do not even try ... to find here any sense. Your main goal here is just to try to have some fun. Read first 5 chapters. If you like them - you will defenitely like the rest ones.

Some good points of "Takamine" series:
* As I mentioned, it's drawn really good. Like really. Maybe that's a main advantage.
* Pretty interesting Takamine's ability: she is like sexy Prince of Persia. I hope you get the reference.
* Takamine character is written pretty nice, as for such kind of manga. Still she is a typical tsundere. But a very dangerous one (just read chapter 1)
* So it's an erotic manga. That's good anyway.

Some bad points as well:
* Shirota - a typical pathetic main male character. I hope he will evolve or something.
* Really unhealthy relationships between Takamine and Shirota. I suppose people calls it "co-dependency", or something similar. So it may trigger someone.
* Censored naked parts of body. Yes, I know it's not a hentai, but I wanted to see them fully, man. I am a grown man and I don't want to look at blurred nipples, even if breasts are drawn very good. I am sorry, I've got carried away a little bit.

So basically - just give it a try. Maybe you will have fun. Maybe not. I can completely understand all the people, who rate "Takamine" very low (like 1,2,3 scores). They didn't have fun. But I did have, and that's the only things which matters. And I wish it to you. Have fun!

I have been sporadically keeping up with this manga for the past uh few years, and my opinion is not as good as I thought?

To be blunt, the focus of this manga revolves around "ecchi, sexiness, lust, teasing, etc."

I can tolerate an extent of this category if it leads to something, but sadly that's not the case here.

Nearly 60 translated chapters with precisely zero development, zero progress, zero points, zero's all around, nada.

There are a lot of ecchi scenes to the point where the story is nowhere to be found. The MC had some potential in the beginning, though now he's just going along with ... whatever happens.

What is the "purpose" of this manga? What are the goals and values? I don't see see anything even remotely worth mentioning.
All we got here is a bland manga with nothing going on if you look past the sexy stuff.

I'm surprised it's even getting an Anime adaption....but that speaks for itself.

He just like me fr fr.


Story

The typical high school romance, but with a supernatural twist.

MMC stumble around and accidentally peeps FMC while is changing. FMC uses this to blackmail MMC to become pack mule so FMC can use her ability.

The supernatural is probably the only bad thing about the story. It feels more like a deus ex machina excuse to get the two into bizarre situations.
...
I thought it was going to be more action, but it is more comedic then anything as we learn that FMC is in love with MMC and can't tell him. But MMC has super tism and can't read the cues. THE GIRL SENDS SEVERAL HINTS THAT SHE IS INTO HIM! the only way the romance will progress is if MMC gets off the train side of tism and opens his eyes!


Art
I'm going to be a degenerate for a bit and pretend that all the characters are age appropriate. GODDAMN. Woof woof woof. Put a leash on me. Please I'm begging.

Ok that's over. The art is pretty good at times. I personal like the switch from gremlin chibi to full body Davinci every pore on their legs.


Overall
6.9(nice)/10
More funny then I thought it was going to be going on. It is awesome to see that this isn't a pure ecchi, just majority of it is.

MMC needs to get diagnosed for some sort of neurodiversity.

I think that the "wimp but growing" MMC Character development is so awfully outdated and, at this point, outrageous.
Your generic, cold hearted, God tier in everything she does, spiteful and overall insolent and rude FMC in contrast to a wimp MMC who did not, not a single time, stand up for himself and answer her like a creature that holds a spine, let alone a human being, and that sad looking everlasting eyebrows he hold is just borderline depressive (it makes want to slap him till he grows a beard).
The story is just inexistant. the characters are poorly written and there is ... no in-depth dialogues whatsoever, the enjoyment level is just frustrating ( don't start reading this late at night you will just keep doing so out of anxiety, which will rebound on itself and makes things worse) i can only put this manga under "hardcore grey matter snipping" genre.
If you didn't start it, there is literally no point in doing so. Save yourself, there's plenty of fairly plotted, balanced character development and enjoyable mangas out there. Don't get trapped by the mangaka art, that's the only thing he/she has done fairly well here.

Story: 2

It boils down to a confusing mess of manipulation, infatuation, arrogance, and fetishes. This plot is held together by the bare minimum. If the beginning was removed, I would have enjoyed this more. The plot moves forward somewhat, but it's still tainted by what the girl did to the guy in the beginning.

Art: 7

The art is the best part of this. Great ecchi, and the rest looks good.

Character: 3

There's some character development that makes the characters both more and less likeable. My respect for the MC keeps going up and down, but I like the FMC less and less every chapter. Their "relationship" is ... painful to see.

Enjoyment: 2

If I'd read the reviews first, I would have avoided this. If there was some retribution, I would have gotten some enjoyment out of this, but there's none in sight. I read the 11 chapters and ended up feeling burned out.

Overall: 3.5

Unless you like emotionally abusive femdom, don't read this. Skim through it for the ecchi shots and forget the rest.

I dont think i will recommend this manga to anyone because the plot is horrible I mean. I dont know why it has a shounen tag? I simply dont know why. After reading upto chapter 31 I dont even know who is the main chracter in this manga. Every time something bad happens takamine just reverts the time back which makes this manga more boring. Only thing which is good in this manga is erotic scenes and art which i can atleast appreciate. The plot which is the main thing on which u rate most of the mangas are horrible. If i wanted to see ... erotic scenes i could have read doujins instead.

I thought i should write an review on this horrible manga. Only one thing i liked is the art and hats of to the author for the art. The main thing is that it has no plot and I personally dont like the bitchy attitude of takamine. If u go to authors twitter account he doesnt even focus on chracter development in manga. He just makes erotic drawing of takamine san and releases it on twitter. Any ways I wouldnt recommend this manga to others because of the trash plot and no thriller or any plot twist. This manga is for horny degenerates. So ... if u like to read a horny manga with good art this is for u. Now I know there are people who gave it a good rating and this manga doesnt deserve a rating of 6.8 just because of the art. There are ecchi mangas which are far better than this so dont waste ur time reading it.
