Don't toy with me Nagataro san is my favorite manga oat. Honestly, I'm tearing up as I'm writing this. At first I started reading it because of a Youtube fan edit I saw, and was kind of in an ecchi/romance phase. But as I kept reading, I truly got to see two people evolve and grow with each other to help them achieve their goals. This completely changed my view on what love is and should be honestly. Even though it started as just harmless teasing, Nagatoro truly began to be more aware of Senpai's presence past his cowardice. She saw his passion in his art, and pushed him to achieve the greater lengths he sought out, as kind of a reflection of herself. Naoto also did the same for her, reigniting her passion for a hobby she had once given up on out of a lack of her own self-worth. Everytime I read this crap I realize how wholesome it really is,

Spoiler, click to view

especially with the asides in the beginning where Nagatoro wonders if she's being too harsh at times with the teasing

The exploitation of his weakness to her is both fun, and a kind of coping mechanism to distract herself from her own weakness within. But as he grows stronger, he helps her do so as well, which is why in the middle and end there is much less severe teasing and much more wholesome banter and connections. This manga shows how love isn't about having set roles in a relationship, or having a certain concrete dynamic, or sharing similar hobbies and/pr activities together. Love is about caring about someone, and having the ability to grow with them as life goes on. It's a great comedy too honestly, at times making me actually laugh genuinely at the antics the two get to (might just be my fat chud humor though idk).

Art:
The art is really good at times. I don't wanna get too in depth, since it's an ecchi and I don't wanna sound like a perv describing the panels, but you can feel the intimacy and emotions radiating off of each of the characters. For what it is 9/10.
Characters:
Since this is a slice of life, obviously the character cast carries the manga. The manga mainly focuses on Senpai and Nagataro, but they both have so much depth in their passions and weaknesses it's refreshing and exhilerating watching them get over them. 10/10
Story:
It's not really linear, and since it's a slice of life it's more just boundless antics until a certain arc happens. Before the end the author gets a tad bit too horny for his britches and it takes away from the main romance, albeit only for like a few scenes. 8/10
Enjoyment:
10/10. It's a wholesome hot ecchi, what's there not to enjoy?

I read this in the beginning of high school (and thank god I did or I'd feel like a weirdo perv reading it), and even now I've come to conclusion that this is one of the suggestive romances ever, and my favorite manga ever. 100/10, I don't think anything is ever topping this for me. (Especially not Chainsaw Man with that trashahh ending)
