Summary of Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san
High school student Hayase Nagatoro loves spending her free time doing one thing and that is teasing her senpai! After Nagatoro and friends stumble upon the aspiring artist’s drawings, they enjoy mercilessly teasing the shy Senpai. Nagatoro decides to continue his cruel game and visits him daily so that he can force Senpai to do whatever interests him, especially if he feels uncomfortable.
Slightly interested in Nagatoro and somewhat fearful of her, Senpai is constantly involved in her antics as her interests, hobbies, looks, and even personality are used against her while she is entertaining herself at his expense. Over time, Senpai realizes that she does not dislike Nagatoro’s presence, and the two develop an uncomfortable friendship while one has to patiently endure each other’s antics.
