She Would Tease You to Death: Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro — A Delightfully Torturous Rom-Com
Looking for an anime that breaks the mold of your typical rom-com? Buckle up, because “Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro” (いじらなないで、長瀞さん, Ijiranaikara, Nagatoro-san) is here to serve a heaping helping of teasing, laughter, and a surprising amount of sweetness.
This series isn’t your average love story. It revolves around Hayase Nagatoro, a mischievous high school student with an insatiable urge to poke fun at her introverted senior, Naoto Hachioji — also known affectionately (or not so affectionately) as “Senpai.” So, why would you subject yourself to watching someone get relentlessly teased? Here’s why “Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro” might just surprise you:
- The Art of the Tease: Nagatoro’s teasing isn’t malicious; it’s playful and strangely endearing. She pushes Senpai outside his comfort zone, forcing him to confront his shyness and hidden talents. Witnessing their dynamic unfold is equal parts hilarious and strangely sweet.
- A Tsundere with a Twist: Nagatoro might seem like your typical tsundere character — outwardly mean but secretly caring. However, the series delves deeper, exploring the reasons behind her teasing and the genuine bond that develops between her and Senpai.

- A Relatable Protagonist: Senpai is the introvert we can all relate to. He’s shy, easily flustered, and often the target of Nagatoro’s playful jabs. But as the series progresses, we see him slowly grow in confidence, thanks in no small part to Nagatoro’s (unintentional?) encouragement.
- More Than Just Teasing: Underneath the comedic surface, “Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro” explores themes of self-discovery, pushing boundaries, and the importance of friendship. The series also celebrates the world of art, with Senpai’s passion for drawing a recurring theme.
- A Visually Appealing Slice-of-Life Experience: The animation style is bright and energetic, perfectly capturing the youthful exuberance of the characters. The use of exaggerated expressions during Nagatoro’s teasing moments adds to the comedic effect.
“Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro” is a unique and entertaining anime that will leave you laughing, cringing (in a good way), and maybe even rooting for this unlikely pair.
Here are some additional points to consider:
- The series is based on a popular web manga series of the same name.
- Be prepared for some fanservice elements, particularly focused on Nagatoro’s teasing tactics.
- The humor can be a bit crude at times, but it generally lands due to the charming characters and relatable situations.
