Summary for Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
The mischievous high school boy Nishikata grins from ear to ear and looks at Takagi, the girl who sits next to him in class. He’s just devised a master plan to finally get revenge on her for all the reckless teasing she’s inflicted on him. As he begins to put his plan into action, Takagi intervenes with a single comment that stops Nishikata in his tracks. She has turned the tables once again. “If you blush, you lose.” It’s the unwritten rule between the two since they met in high school. Day after day, defeat after defeat, Nishikata tries to watch Takagi blush with shame, but his futile attempts only lead to more taunts. Will their relationship progress beyond this vicious circle of trying to outsmart each other?
