Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san Summary
Grinning from ear to ear, the mischievous high school boy looks at Nishikata Takagi, the girl who sits next to him in the class. He has just come up with a master plan to finally get revenge on her for all the reckless ridicule she has inflicted on him. When he is about to put his plan into action, Takagi interferes with a single comment that casts Nishikata under its spell. She turned the tables once more. “If you blush, you lose.” It’s been the unwritten rule between the two of them since they met in high school. Day after day, defeat after defeat, Nishikata struggles to see Takagi red with shame, but his futile attempts are only mocked. Will your relationship develop beyond this vicious circle of trying to outsmart the other?
