I enjoyed the manga on a monthly basis, but when they turned it into an anime, I enjoyed "Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san" aka "Teasing Master Takagi-san" a lot less. I guess, knowing how the jokes will play out had an effect. The story is basically about middle schoolers Nishikata and Takagi, who is constantly teasing Nishikat until he blushes, who then wants to tease Takagi in return, but is never able to beat her at this game.
It's clear that these two like each other, but they are young and innocent, so instead of showing their true feelings, they just tease each other in a friendly manner (though most of the teasing is done by the smart girl). We follow them doing everyday life things, such as studying at school, walking home together, playing games, visiting places etc.
I liked their chemistry and if you don't expect too much in terms of plot, you'll have a good time as well. I was a little surprised at how popular the manga was in Japan, there is a second anime season and even a movie from 2022, so a lot of content for fans of the series!
The manga eventually has a time skip, and the two get married and have a cute child, so Takagi gets to tease him even more with the help of their daughter. But low and behold, Nishikata manages to tease her back every once in a while, too.
