This article includes spoilers for the ending of the “Ijiranaide,
Nagatoro-san” manga. Reader discretion is advised.
The popular manga “ Ijiranaide,
Nagatoro-san ” has come to an end today ,
concluding a serialization that spanned almost seven years. Nanashi's work has
left a significant mark in the world of romantic comedies, earning the love and
devotion of a large fan base throughout its publication.
“Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san” began
serialization in 2017 , quickly capturing attention for
its unique style and the dynamic between its protagonists: Hayase Nagatoro and
Naoto Hachiouji, whom she calls “Senpai.” The story revolves around the
relationship between Nagatoro, a mischievous and teasing girl, and Senpai, a
shy and reserved boy , exploring how their relationship evolves
through a series of comical and sometimes touching interactions.
The manga's popularity led to its anime
adaptation , which has had two seasons to date. The first
season aired in 2021, followed by the second in 2023. Anime fans are
still waiting for a third season , although the chances of its
production are considerably reduced now that the original work has concluded.
The manga's ending has been met with
mixed reactions from fans . Although there was a kiss
between the protagonists a few chapters ago, many expected that the last
chapter would offer a more satisfactory closure, especially with a final kiss.
Furthermore, the timeskip at the end of
the work covers only a few months, leaving readers without a true vision of
what the protagonists' lives would be like in the future. This
has left many feeling dissatisfied and hopeful that the author will add some
additional content in the final compiled volume, although hopes are low.
Despite these criticisms, “Ijiranaide,
Nagatoro-san” has left a lasting legacy in the romantic comedy genre .
Its focus on the evolution of a relationship through teasing and affection has
been refreshing and has inspired other works in the same genre. The series has
shown that even the simplest interactions can lead to a rich and emotionally
resonant narrative.
The impact of “Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san”
will be reflected in future generations of manga and anime ,
and its ending, although bittersweet for many, marks the closing of an
important chapter in the history of romantic comedies. Fans will continue to
remember Nagatoro's antics and Senpai's cute reactions, and will look forward
to whatever future projects Nanashi may have in mind (or if he decides to
return to hentai).
