Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

I’ll give “Please Don't Bully Me, Nagatoro” a solid 6.5/10






In order to fully understand “Please Don't Bully Me, Nagatoro” you have to understand where the characters came from. You see both main characters were used before in other media such as games and webtoons, and in these characters, Nagatoro was just a straight up sadist and found joy out of torturing the guy she had feelings for. A lot of people are shocked by how the characters act and I just wanted to clear that up, with that said, however, this is the review.


Story: 6
Simple but often lackluster.

The story is very simple and often doesn’t revolve outside the lives of the two main characters inside the small confines of one clubroom. Not exactly the worst I’ve ever heard and the simplistic nature allows for the author to focus purely on the relationship between the characters, however, this also makes all… two other characters completely irrelevant if they’re in the same frame as the main characters which is a shame since they probably could’ve been fleshed out a little more.

Art: 8
Better than anything I could draw but not the best I’ve ever seen.

Personally, I can’t draw for shit, so this is an extremely biased review. I will say, that background characters and objects are reduced to basically a few lines a couple of times.

Character: 5
Stereotypical at best, boring at worst.

This is my most serious gripe with this manga, the characters are just stand-alone extreme variants of popular tropes that you might see in one shot characters. However, they do flesh out the main characters during the progression of the manga, it’s not the best but I’m optimistic about the future.

Enjoyment 6:
Kinda good

The show could’ve been so much better but in all honesty, it’s a huge improvement from what it used to be.
Overall 7:
Gotta round the number up but if I could I’d give it a 6.5

(((SHASH THAT HELPFUL BUTTON) -->

I'm just going to review this> Not going to lie this is my first ever manga review. *im trying not to spoil it | my gram ar is also bad sorry. Yes i also have read this manga more than 1 chapter. i bought mangas in real life because i don't know where to read online*

So i don't think the manga is actually bad sure its about him getting bullied by his under-classmates but for real if you're focus enough reading this than you'll probably feel like how i feel about this manga. The girl who bullies him doesn't mean she bullies him because his weak or a pervy in fact the girl actually thinks his a good person a really caring one. There are some chapters that she feels happy/jealousy/embarrassed about the boy. She also helps him whenever the boy needs any help like alot (i think). Sure the girl maybe a sadistic girl and like to tease the boy but hey the boy enjoys it too his having fun as well well mostly being embarrassed. There is a chapter where the boy gets jealous (and upset) he handles the situation bravely despite him being really shy and very awkward. The point is Both are having fun and no one gets hurt sure some stuff might go to far but the boy always rethink his situations and the girl (always) realise that she maybe went to far. Both of them help each other; Both of them feel jealous; Both of them feel happy; Both of them are having fun; Both of them gets tease alot. This manga is truly amazing.

Its a good manga its not very bad/weird/awful. You should think before reviewing it. All i see of this reviews are short reviews about how weird/awful this manga is about bullies(im not hating just saying how i feel about the reviews). This manga is honestly clever its really rare to find such manga. You should consider yourself before writting. Maybe wait till you get how the story goes.

I want to say more about this manga and review it more but i think this is enough i don't wanna spoil it anymore. I recommend you guys read this srsly before reviewing this!

I don't think there's any bad stuff going on here or maybe im just to careless but overall this a amazing tier manga.

*if u can send me any links to read manga online i would gladly to open those links*

Edit: If you don't like my review, don't read it. I'll ignore anyone who posts any kind of disrespectful comments on my profile. I don't keep anyone from enjoying this manga, it's just MY opinion. Good for you if you love reading it, I know I don't. Please, grow up.

Wow, I did not like this.
I expected something cute and funny where a kouhai would make fun of her senpai because she likes him but shit, this is real bullying. This is like GTO level bullying minus the fun parts and Onizuka-sensei bringing justice for the bullied.

For a romcom whose sole purpose is to make me laugh and swoon over the Nagatoro and Senpai's relationship, it failed. This actually disgusted me. I forced myself to finish the nine chapters that were out just to see if it could get better. Surely, there are romantic feelings between the two of them but love does not pardon the attitude. This is one of these mangas that send the wrong message: it's okay to bully if it's to someone you like.
Well, here's one for you: it's never okay to bully. Not your crush, your romantic partner, your friend, your classmate, anyone.

From this, I get the story is meant to evolve and develop a cute romantic relationship but no matter under which angle I take this, I can't see it being healthy in the future. This manga has no humor weight or deep meaning, it feels like it's only a way for abusive comportment in romantic couples to be romanticized. If this manga had as a purpose to expose Nagatoro's journey to redemption like Shouka from A Silent Voice, it would have given more depth to the characters. I'm persuaded the story would have found a better place in the drama category. However, this is not the case. And as a comedy, I did not even smile.

As for now, we're stuck in some kind of episodic trash where Nagatoro makes fun of everything her senpai likes or even humiliates his feelings. What infuriates me most is senpai attitude. It's like babysitting kids; you got to imposes limits or else, the kids will be nightmares with you. But senpai says nothing and lets himself be bullied so the story becomes repetitive overall. They both suck as manga characters and they both suck as human beings. In that case, sorry to say, they deserve each other.

The only redeeming point of this manga is the aesthetics. The faces, the chara design, the overall art is very dynamic. Sadly, it gets quickly redundant since they both always make the same expressions and nothing really happens. I think it's better for the mangaka to go back drawing hentai because this story as a romcom brings me no interest, it has no comedic values nor romantic depth. If that was his shot at becoming a 'serious' mangaka let's say, well it failed.
Do not recommend.
Will not finish.

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san (or better known as Please Don't Bully Me, Nagatoro), is exactly defined by its title. A girl who bullies her upperclassman, and said upperclassman let's her get away with it.

The art style is very well done, but who would expect less from 774? If you do know his other works, it's understandable why it stands out. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The story does seem to go stale from time to time, but reading five volumes that are currently out (from the time I've written this review), it's a very slow progression, don't worry it does lead somewhere.
It's obvious that they both like each other, but like a slice of life feel, it doesn't blossom until further (way further) into the chapters.
I loved this so much I went and bought all four volumes to show my support, plus other merch. :P

Nagatoro and her Senpai do grow as characters throughout the story, unlike other anime where it feels like it took one day or a week where the girl would confess her love to the protaganist, this one is very gradual and the build ups are in small hints. It feels more realistic to me and I could relate to some of the actions taken place between them. I'm hoping that the characters keep growing and showing how much they've evolved from what they were from the beginning of the first volume.

Overall, it's good, not amazing but good. The story feels like it progresses, but in certain chapters it takes a few steps back (to me at least). Other characters besides the two main, don't exactly have their own unique personalities. Sometimes it feels like its three of the same person.

P.S.
I believe there's a certain time where you can read between the lines of what's bullying, and what's acceptable to what you'd allow a person to get away with. This is my opinion since for me, certain situations where a person would tease or sound like they're putting you down, are actually flirting or trying to build you up. Always remember, it's all about consent from both parties. ;D

This is one of the most endearing manga I’ve read, I just wish I hadn’t read it so fast cuss now I’ve got to wait. The title only really applies to the first few chapters because after that it’s clear that all of nagatoro’s actions are done out of affection, it could almost be described as tsundere but she is never cold, just energetic.

Overall it’s really sweat especially the later chapters when they stand up for each other which displays real character development. It’s light and never too serious but this never hinders development.

So definitely worth a read if you want something to make you laugh and warm your heart, pretty epic.

(I used it supplement a horror manga so that I never got to depressed)

So, this is my first review. I'm happy to be losing my reviewer virginity to sadism herself, Nagatoro-san.
(This review is a review of chapters up the the current one: ''Chapter 13: Nope, This is Senpai's Drawing'')

If you want my overall score without having to read the entire thing, here it is:
-Story 7/10
-Art 10/10
-Characters 6/10
-Enjoyment 8/10
-Overall 8/10

First of all, I know this manga is not for everyone. It can be hard for people to make it past the first 6 chapters (especially those with a history of being bullied, because Nagatoro does make Senpai cry and then mock him for it). But after chapter 6, it gets better. Not that chapters 1-6 are bad, they're just sad really. So if a manga about unrequited love and a sadistic girl (who occasionally isn't a sadist) doesn't sound good to you, maybe skip this one.
But anyways, onto the review.

-----Story: 7/10-----

The story here is decently written, but it's a slice of life manga so naturally every chapter is disconnected from the others with the only connections between them being the characters (e.g a scene isn't going to start in chapter 7 and end in chapter 8). The main driving point of the story is that it's unique. I can't think of a manga or anime that has a story similar to this.

The basic idea is that our Main Character, the unnamed 'Senpai', is a lonely, flustered, otaku boy who enjoyes reading fanservice manga and spending all his free time alone in the art room. So if you're on MAL chances are you can relate to this character. However, when a dark skinned, wide eyed first year girl called Nagatoro picks up one of his drawings he dropped, a typical shonen boy saving a hot girl from danger, she dedicates her school life to making his life miserable (or maybe she's trying to do something else). So why does he put up with her? He has a crush on her. Unfortunately for our pubescent hero, it doesn't seem mutual. So while it's tagged as a romance, it's pretty one sided and hidden (the only signs we get that he loves her is a few panels scattered around the manga and the description).

Other than the concept alone, the story isn't too interesting. Each chapter is a new environment and a new situation with no overlapping arcs or story connections (e.g. Nagatoro is making fun of Senpai's art on the way home from school, Nagatoro is teasing Senpai in the Art room, Nagatoro is calling Senpai her pet in front of her friends in the Canteen).

-----Art: 10/10-----

By far my favorite part of this whole manga is the art. The artist nanashi (or 774 House) nails the often embarrassed and flustered facial expressions of his characters, perhaps from his experience in.... other genres. I'm talking NSFW, Lolita,Thrown-In-Jail-For-Degeneracy style genres, including one called ''Naked Honey Kana Fire 2 Monkey Copulation with Landscape Species''. So take that however you want to.

Anyways, if you've been on r/animemes on reddit, no doubt have you seen some art from this series, including the extremely popular (and my desktop background) juice box meme
[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/347/678/3e9.png]

The art here is phenomenal, the stuff of memes. Like many others, I find myself screenshotting and cropping every single panel to use as reaction picture images. I cannot fault the art, it's amazing


-----Characters: 6/10-----

Oh boy. Since there are only two important characters in this manga, I rated each one out of 5 and added them together to get my final score.
-Senpai: 1/5
-Nagatoro: 5/5

Lets start with Senpai. He's boring! He literally is only interesting when Nagatoro is bullying him and hes failing to stand up for himself. He doesn't even have a name! He literally has nothing going for him, except how he looks adorable when bullied by Nagatoro. He's a lackluster, self loathing teenager who's self confidence is lacking and spends all his time alone in the art room. The only good thing about him is, as I said before, his face is very reaction image/profile avatar-able. But, coming from a doujinshi artist, I suppose good male characters aren't a strong point.

Nagatoro-san is great. Unlike most of the other characters like her, who are just stubborn and tsundere, Nagatoro seems to genuinely not have a romantic interest in Senpai and instead derives pleasure from emotionally beating him up (and sometimes physically). However as shown in Chapter 6, Nagatoro isn't naturally like this. When she's not around Senpai, she's a cold, uninteresting character who shows no emotion (when listening to music, she simply says 'I just didn't feel anything' while looking depressingly at the table). The fact that she's so emotional and bouncy and mean around Senpai means she is attached to him in some way, as he seems to be one of the few people she feels emotion around, so maybe there is a chance for some spicy romance. Nagatoro's bullying actually does take a turn around chapter 7 where she switches from just bullying him to bullying him to make him more confident (e.g. Forcing him to compliment her, Forcing him to draw her and then blueballing him, Relentlessly insulting him until he figures out a comeback).

-----Enjoyment 8/10-----

I enjoyed reading this manga so much, it's so bubbly and bouncy and oozing with charm. The only parts I didn't enjoy were the first few chapters where Nagatoro is just a nameless girl who hurts Senpai so much he starts to cry. Other than that though, this manga is so damn fun, and I'm so excited for more to come out and (Hopefully) an anime adaptation (maybe with the harassment toned down).

-----Overall I'm giving this manga an 8/10-----
-The first few chapters can be hard to get through
-Everything past the first few chapters is great

This is the type of manga you sit and wait for, and when it drops, you smile from ear to ear. For the next 17 pages, you sit grinning at your screen, reading eagerly. Soon realising you finish the chapter you look at the ending page of Nagatoros smug face staring at you and think "I WANT IT TO BE A FORTNIGHT ALREADY" then proceeded to re-read the chapter, crying on the inside.

Basically, to put it into perspective, this manga is more addictive than cocaine to me and if I don't get my fix every fortnight I go into a nervous break down of smug faces and dark-skin anime girls.

I usually have little tolerance for cliche female characters acting like assholes because some exuse or other, so after reading the reviews i didn't go into it with much optimism.
However I binged all the translated chapters, and I though it was good? This is pretty much the reason i decided to write this review, because i think many others miss the point.
There is teasing, and there is abuse. The line is not crystal clear, however, this is clearly not the latter.
If you look past what's being said, and instead focus what is done, and how the characters react to each other, it's clear that Nagatoro is not just a thoughtless bully. Sure, she's not conventionaly kind, but there is a certain kindness to hear, and she know's where too far is. How she acts could be generally considered messed up, but she doesn't act that way to everyone. What she does is specific to her relationship with the MC, and it works.
The story is still pretty short right know, but there is some slow and steady character development, and I'm pretty interested to see where it goes. If you've been put off by the bad reviews, just give it a chance.

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san, a manga infamous due to its author's past works and the story itself. Any dipshit, dumbfuck, degenerate, dumbass, masochistic, kinky-ass, submissive, bottom, mother fucker, brawlstars playing, genshin impact grinding, 7 head loving simple, 4 inch dick bearing, and numerous other adjectives, would simply love this manga. Anyone else, steer clear.

This stuff is just absolutely sickening to read, and happens every chapter. As said best from one of the top reviewers, imagine Onizuka with more bullying, and absolutely 0 moral lessons; this garbage should not be liked to the extent it is. The motherfuckers who like this stuff simply need to go outside, touch some grass, interact with some real human beings, and arise from the degeneracy they are in.

I'm warning you for one time. This some kinky shit, please I beg, never read this as you will get stage 3 brain cancer from the amount of dumb shit the plot is about. Have a nice day and make sure you read something better.

Yep. She looks cute.

Whether it's her trademark grin, her laid-back clothing style or details like how her hairclip and earring match, her visual design comes together really well.

And that's why she gets away with horrible behaviour.

The entire entertainment lies within the interaction of spunky Nagatoro being mean to her upperclassman, a timid boy slighly older than her, without any reason other than her personal enjoyment. And very quickly a single question appears here.

How much is too much?

Where does teasing stop and bullying start? What is a joke and what is an insult? It's as simple as it is complicated: It's up to the one on the receiving end of the interaction. Are they having fun with it? Can they give you a smile, or calmly tease you back for it?

The first encounter between Nagatoro and her unnamed senpai results in Nagatoro laughing at him, making fun of his hobbies and hopes to the point that he breaks down in tears in front of her.

"Suck it up.", you might think. "Don't be such a pussy."
Do a little check and reverse the scenario for a moment.

Imagine an agressive boy meeting a timid girl. Shoving her against the wall, laughing at her attempts to draw. How she clumsily writes stories, drawing imagination from reality. How her insecurities are showing. Her wordlessly breaking down in tears, unable to stand the confrontation.

Still cute? Still within "teasing"?

Enjoy your story then. You'll have lots of fun with this one.

So basically I began reading this manga because I heard it from anitubers (The Anime Man) talk about it and there's an anime adaption in the works. I read the 63 chapters (not gonna lie, it is an addictive read) and honestly I think reading 63 chapters were enough for me to say, this ain't for me chief....

All you're getting is a teen girl who constantly downgrades, mocks and pretty much harrasses a guy older than her just because he doesn't stand up for himself. You don't realise how many times I've tried to drop this manga altogether but yeah I just feel it's just so controlling and very aggressive. That's not a good thing to start a relationship full stop....

The only good thing about this manga is that it's art is pretty nice but the rest, I might as well want to forget about it.....

i've never been so happy in my entire life. When i read this manga i feel like i'm in heaven, i'ts like god comes down to earth and hugs me. I'ts perfect, it has saved my life, and there is nothing that can compare to this

i'ts funny, it's entertaining, i'ts everything that a human being needs to be happy. I'ts great, because for a moment, you can forget you horrible life, and be happy. I am a better person now that i've read this manga, and i recommend it to everyone. Seriously, this manga will make your life better.
