Synopsis

With a smirk, the mischievous middle school boy Nishikata glances over at Takagi, the girl seated next to him in class. He has just devised a master plan to finally get back at her for all the merciless teasing inflicted upon him. As he is about to set his plan into motion, Takagi intervenes with a single comment that halts Nishikata right in his tracks. She had turned the tables on him yet again.

"If you blush, you lose." That has been the unwritten rule set between the two ever since they encountered one another in middle school. Day after day, loss after loss, Nishikata strives to see Takagi red with embarrassment, but his futile attempts are only met by further ridicule. Beyond this vicious cycle of trying to outwit one another, will their relationship ever evolve?

This manga became my new favourite series of all time.. There is just something about that makes every chapter incredibly enjoyable, and you always leave reading it with a good feeling. The main characters are competitive in a very playful sense and both never go too far, always showing a deep care for each other and other people above everything. The art starts out a bit weak but gets simple and yet very pretty over time. This is truly one of the best romance mangas ever, if you ever have children having the volumes in a bookcase would be wonderful to give them the experience ...

So, finally this manga has come to an end. If you are not acquainted with it, this is a slice-of-life romcom that follows the daily lives of middle school students Takagi and Nishikata. Takagi is a master at teasing and pranking Nishikata, who always plans to beat her at her own game but ends up outwitted and embarrassed himself. Then repeat next chapter. It's episodic, so you can even read the chapters out of order, it won't make any difference. This manga has become very recognizable over its long run, and maybe even inspired other stories like Nagatoro.

Despite their constant antics, Takagi and Nishikata have ...

Mixed Feelings
After binge-watching three seasons and the movie, I decided to read only the final chapter of the manga, "177 Summer Festival." The repetitive nature of Takagi teasing Nishikata became apparent during my binge-watching, and the manga's content seemed to follow the same pattern. While I checked out a few manga chapters to see if it was worth investing more time, it didn't feel compelling. Reading weekly might have offered a different experience, but the content appeared unchanged.

Spoiler:
My disappointment peaked when, after 176 chapters, Nishikata suddenly confesses his love for Takagi at the summer festival. The impact was minimal, If he had confessed earlier, it might ...
