Sinopsis 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 circle of trying to outsmart each
other, will their relationship evolve?
