Plot
When an introverted male student meets a girl called Nagatoro, his life is turned upside down. She first quietly observes his reaction to verbal abuse from some other high-school girls that are not well-meaning, realizes that oddly enough in his case it may be exactly what he needs, and so begins a sequence of her teasing him. It soon becomes increasingly obvious (to the reader, not to him) that her teasing is actually sardonic, well-intentioned, and flirtatious, but he eventually starts to catch on.
Characters
- Hayase Nagatoro (長瀞 早瀬, Nagatoro Hayase)
- Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka[1]
- Nagatoro is a 16-year-old girl who likes to mess with Senpai and finds joy in teasing him. Although it appears that she just wants to torture him, it seems that she actually has a crush on him. Whenever anyone else tries to bully her Senpai, she becomes very hostile towards them. Her friends call her "Hayacchi" (ハヤっち) and seem to sometimes be an annoyance to her.
- Senpai (センパイ)
- Senpai is the protagonist of the series. He is a timid introvert, who tries to avoid social interaction with other people and likes to draw. Nagatoro only calls him Senpai. It is currently unknown if Senpai has any friends, outside of Nagatoro and her friend group. In the original webcomic, his name was Naoto Hachioji (八王子 直人).
- Gamo-chan (ガモちゃん)
- Gamo-chan is a member of Nagatoro's group of friends. She also repeatedly teases Senpai against Nagatoro's wishes, however she doesn't show any romantic interest in him, though she and Nagatoro seems to have some kind of friendly rivalry. As the only other person aware of Nagatoro's protectiveness of Senpai, she enjoys using that to torment them both. She likes to call Senpai "Paisen" (パイセン).
- Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yosshī)
- Yoshi is another member of Nagatoro's group of friends. She typically follows Gamo-chan around and goes along with whatever schemes she has in mind. It's also made clear by others that she isn't particularly bright, but her high energy and follower mentality make her a recurring character next to Gamo-chan. Most of her speech is her repeating what somebody else already said.
- Sakura (桜)
- Sakura is the least seen member of Nagatoro's friend group in the manga, not being seen for twenty-five chapters until finally returning inexplicably. She has darker skin, like Nagatoro, with blonde hair. Her personality on the surface is similar to Yoshi's, only with less energy, but underneath her friends know her for sewing seeds of jealousy in groups of boys that compete for her attention. She often speaks about stringing along several guys at once for amusement, but she never actually goes beyond flirting with them.
- Club President (部長, Buchō)
- The art club president. She has long hair that frames her face with dark-brown eyes. Her personality is stern and serious but she also tends to be quite shameless. Despite her rigidity she treats Senpai with respect, unlike Nagatoro. She also bears a resemblance to a female character in one of Senpai's manga. The first two kanjis of her last name were shown to be Suno... (須ノ…)
- "Big Sis-Toro" (姉瀞, Ane Toro)
- Nagatoro's older sister, who greatly cares for her but also likes to tease her, and often embarrass her.
