Synopsis of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Grinning from ear to ear, mischievous high school boy Nishikata looks at Takagi, the girl sitting next to him in class. He has just devised a master plan to finally get revenge on her for all the merciless taunts he has inflicted on her. As he is about to put his plan into action, Takagi intervenes with a single comment that stops Nishikata in his tracks. She has turned the tables once again. “If you blush, you lose.” That’s been the unwritten rule established between the two since they met in high school. Day after day, defeat after defeat, Nishikata strives to see Takagi red with shame, but his futile attempts only result in more ridicule. Beyond this vicious cycle of trying to outsmart each other, will their relationship evolve?
