by nanashi

It’s actually happening! Senpai and Nagatoro get closer than ever before when they visit an aquarium together. But the fledgling couple isn’t alone. They’re being watched by two opposing parties—Nagatoro’s meddlesome friends who worry Nagatoro might ruin Senpai’s innocence, and the Sunomiya duo, who will fight to let love take its course. Depending on which side gets its way, this long-awaited rendezvous could become a date with destiny or a date with devilry!

3.5 stars. I’d label this as a good attempt more than anything else. There are some great moments for both Nagatoro and Senpai here, but the achievement of him actually asking her out was a lot more exciting than the result.

Possibly this is due to my current mood or general exhaustion with aquarium dates, but I think that’s only partly to blame. Still, watching them actually slowly evolve into a proper couple is pretty cute after all this time.

Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro (Vol. 12) - My Kindle Review

Senpai and Nagatoro’s day at the zoo seems to create some suspicion for Nagatoro’s friends and Sunomiya from the art club, so they all spy on the two but thankfully their zoo visit ends nicely. Later, they each make a nice bento box lunch for one another and we see his serious side after an interesting confrontation involving a guy who happens to be Nagatoro’s big brother. A- (91%/Excellent)

Absolutely love thos series, I chuckle so much reading it and at moments it's so sweet!
Hayase's reactions at times are super cute!

[Ben Nealis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely great. A fantastic bookend to the second box set. Every single page of this volume was excellent. And the introduction of the older brother was something I had expected but even though his existence was spoiled for me months ago I was still on edge with every turn of the page. An amazing volume.

The events of this manga volume are where the 2nd season of the anime adaptation end. I think even the anime adaption team is getting frustrated because they allow the main characters to share an affectionate hug that does NOT appear in the pages of this volume. And Hayase is far more direct and serious about her desire to kiss Senpai if she wins her judo match with Orihara; in the anime adaptation she reaffirms it to Nao's face, twice, on two separate occasions at least a day apart. She needs to keep being direct with Senpai so he can't possibly miss the boat.

Senpai and Nagatoro go on a date. Nagatoro's friends suspect she has 'intentions' with Senpai's virginity. They aim to protect his innocence, while Sana and her cousin Sunomiya encourage a demonstration of love. Their date goes not bad and almost ends with a hug, until the duo find their stalkers.

When Nagatoro dares Senpai into eating her bento box, her sister provides the insight she was lacking. It's a good thing she burnt the extra-spicy meal she was planning and made a regular serving Senpai genuinely enjoys.

What a great series!

Senpai, you really have it made! You've got the cutest kouhai in the whole school literally all over you. Sure, she tends to give you a lot of light-hearted ribbing, but deep down, she's a good girl, and one thing is obvious - she's just as crazy about you as you are about her!

A very sweet and cute volume. I found the meddlers in the aquarium "date" to be quite amusing and when they confessed to each other that they meant it as a real date, it was really sweet and innocent. And then the making of bento boxes for each other...SQUEEEEEE

[Craig Schorling · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was better than the last previous volumes and would have gotten a 4 if not for the over the top interference during the aquarium date. The build up is getting better. The final chapter was a bit corny but not too bad. It seems like the series is moving in the right direction.

[Richard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Slowly but surely…

The pair of them draw closer together. The drama of a date(?) and the excite,ent of an ex on the scene are the daily challenges that will unite them. Prepare to have your heart warmed all over again in this latest instalment.

[Anthony Wendel · Rating 3 out of 5]

SO Nagatoro and Senpai finally go on a date. Yes, they are finally making a move in the right direction only to have their moment ruined by comedy. Ah comedy, you have a way of ruining so many ships in anime and manga.

¿mi gusto culposo? los mangas de comedia romantica

[Justin Perucca · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hmmm, this was definitely the weakest. The date was pretty bare, making lunch was cliche, and meeting family member mistaking them ina relationship was also pretty boring.
