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 is progressively confirmed 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)
Voiced by: Daiki Yamashita[6]
Senpai is a timid introvert, who tries to avoid social interaction with other people and likes to draw. After meeting Nagatoro and starting to hang out with her and her friends, he became progressively more self-confident. Senpai has a few friends, who call him "Nao-kun" (直くん), however, Nagatoro only calls him "Senpai". In the original webcomic, his name was Naoto Hachioji (八王子 直人).
Gamo-chan (ガモちゃん)
Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu[6]
Gamo-chan is a member of Nagatoro's group of friends. She's the most mature among her peers and, despite her tough appearance often act as a "big sister" toward them. She and Nagatoro seem to have some kind of friendly rivalry. As the first person who realizes that Nagatoro harbors feelings for Senpai, she enjoys teasing them both. She likes to call Senpai "Paisen" (パイセン) and albeit very critical toward him, they get friendlier as the story progresses.
Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yosshī)
Voiced by: Aina Suzuki[6]
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)
Voiced by: Shiori Izawa[6]
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 sweet and quite relaxed, but underneath her friends know her for sowing seeds of jealousy in groups of boys that compete for her attention. She often speaks about stringing along several guys at once for amusement.
Club President (部長, Buchō)
The art club president. She has long hair that frames her face with crimson 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, she's a university student who greatly cares for and loves to spoil her little sister but also likes to tease her, and often embarrasses her. She was shown to be a sort of model-figure and confidant to Nagatoro.
