Anime Digest
Naoto Hachioji, a shy second-year student at Kazehaya High School, likes to spend his free time drawing manga rather than engaging in social activities. First-year student Hayase Nagatoro, who unintentionally found the comic, calls him “Senpai” and teases him till he starts crying. She frequently hangs out in the Art Club area where he spends most of his time and continues to make fun of him for his shy nature and love of otaku, even using obscene language sometimes. Senpai grows romantically interested in Nagatoro as she keeps encouraging him to be more forceful. As a result, he starts to open up to her and become more involved in her life. Gamo, Yosshii, and Sakura are three of Nagatoro’s friends who, when Senpai first meets them, seem like mean, selfish high school girls who only want to hurt Senpai. However, after realizing that Senpai and Nagatoro have a secret infatuation, they change into devoted friends who plot to bring the two closer together.
The Feel-Good Part
The way Nagatoro teases Senpai will keep the audience very entertained. There is a heck of humor, and we will be captivated by the television show.
The Disappointing Factor
The plot, which centers on a teenager who teases and bullies her senior, may offend some people.
