Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro (Vol. 14) (My Kindle Review)
There’s plenty to see for the students on their Kyoto trip, but the real sight is seeing Senpai and Nagatoro possibly taking bigger steps in their relationship as it also becomes a hot topic for the girls’ conversations. It all does give Senpai a reluctant but serious confidence boost and it looks like he really will take that next step. A- (91%/Excellent)

It’s off to the races for the school trip (and Nagatoro and Senpai’s hormones) as the inexorable descent to coupledom keeps on moving forward. Sort of. But when Senpai is caught between a rock and a hard case, will he be able to sort his future out for once?
It’s kind of serendipitous that this is coming out just as the anime wraps it’s second season, as the final episode featured Yoshi and Gamo trying thwart a date between our leads and here the exact opposite occurs. That’s a nice refresher on where things stood before getting to where they stand.
Not that anything has really happened for ages now in this manga. I certainly enjoy these characters, especially as they’ve mellowed out into their groove, but the waiting for the confession is taking for-freaking-ever. As befits manga, but…
They kind of filed down the edges a little too much. That’s the problem. There’s no denying that original Nagatoro was way too mean spirited, but the story was doing much better with her a couple volumes on from that. Now it’s largely the same old goofing around with some boob jokes tossed in.
And I still enjoy it, I literally read each volume the day it hits my Kindle, but it’s not lighting the world on fire. The antics are fine, these characters are pretty much developed at this point in terms of characterization and all, it’s just not moving anywhere.
Still, Senpai gets his wins here and there, including a dicey situation with a giant stone, and it’s now very obvious (as in, he says it) that the thing that’s really holding him back is his feeling that he’s not good enough. Which is nonsense, she likes him, but go go teenager feelings.
And it’s not like Nagatoro is any better, she can’t be direct about anything, although she is at least being more honest about actually liking him at all. Not that he’d find out; it’s still Senpai’s game to lose. Yet he keeps rising to the occasion when it counts.
His vision of a future where he chokes straight through to graduation is actually kind of interesting - along the lines of, dang, I would follow these characters into university. The design for older Nagatoro is actually really well done. It’s a digression, but it lets Senpai see that a life without Nagatoro just doesn’t have the same spark, which honestly checks out for him.
Still, even if they aren’t quite honest with each other, the two of them are finally being honest with themselves and between that and the goofing around it makes for a good volume, but true greatness just isn’t quite there.
One final thing I absolutely loved in this volume was the omake featuring Nagatoro and Senpai “watching” the comic and giving commentary. I love this sort of fourth wall break, outside the story where it belongs, and it’s as fun here as anywhere else I’ve seen it, especially the second gag, where Nagatoro is jealous over herself.
Oh, and the bonus manga is just an excuse to cram some extra boobs into the story again and it’s lame even amongst the pantheon of boob size gags, minus Nagatoro desperately wishing she was anywhere else.
3 stars - not a bad little excursion for our duo, in both senses of the word, but we’re definitely into the ‘treading water’ phase of the story, where it moves along in the most minor of increments.

Only marking this as read so I can join in on a pizza party with friends. Loved it

This is literally my favorite manga. This is S tier Slice of Life. S tier bully romance. S tier slow burn. I think about this manga everyday. The day this series ends I think I might die.

Notes: My only complain is that this has gotten way too sexual the last few volumes.

A really sweet volume with our couple on a school trip. There are the usual trope happening but Senpai comes to a realization and it was heartwarming the way it was delivered.

The moment of realization that we've been waiting so long for has finally arrived! A fantastic volume that in addition to a great school trip story with the main duo has appearances from practically every important character we've met so far. Gamo and Yoshi acting as guardians is always good for a laugh as are Yoshi's random phrases in other languages. The inclusion of one page extras in-between chapters is a great idea and provides many laugh out loud moments. The only thing that I didn't enjoy in this entry was the bonus chapter, it felt like purely unnecessary fan service that even Nagatoro herself was uncomfortable with. But four pages tacked on at the end isn't enough to ruin an amazing volume that had me cheer out loud "Yes!".

We are getting closer and closer to them getting together... I think.

School trip to Kyoto! The usual hijinks ensue! Yoshi speaking random Spanish for some reason! I guess because of the exploits last volume they didn't feel the need for hot springs gags that typically happen in anime, save the non-canon "bonus content" at the end. Nagatoro admits to the other girls that she's given thought to letting Nao kiss her if she wins her bout with Orihara. Nao (Senpai) is forced to confront his genuine feelings about Hayase Nagatoro as graduation looms. He imagines their drifting apart in 2 years and Hayase ending up with some other guy...which he decides is a future he doesn't want....because he's in love with Nagatoro. Given Nagatoro's obvious anxiety over her Senpai finding his way (with eyes closed) to the "Love Fortune Stone" it's clear she feels the same way. While she does still mess with Senpai, there are more and more unguarded moments where she gazes at him softly with genuine affection. He loves the way her hair parts around her ears. These two love each other and everyone else in school wishes they'd just make it official already....kiss and confess! Hopefully we'll get some resolution in the next volume or so. At least the 2nd season of the anime let them hug affectionately, which did not happen in the manga (I checked). I do hope the series gets a 3rd season anime adaptation as there's plenty of wacky stuff to bring in from the manga beyond the events covered. It will be so emotionally satisfying if and when these two do finally kiss, confess, and become an item.

My partner put this on top of my teetering TBR manga pile because the characters went to Kyoto, and we ourselves went there on our trip to Japan back in 2010 (I think) with a friend, and he thought I'd enjoy seeing it. I did! :)
I got all the way through this rather than shrugging it off a chapter or two in, so that's something. Nagatoro and her "fill in the blank because he has next to no personality, though he is a painter, so good for him" inevitable romantic partner are pretty cute together. Nagatoro herself is adorable, and the story and "camera" behave themselves better than in a lot of shonen manga.
The art is deceptively simple--a reader isn't going to fall over in wonder at the draftsmanship or sense of place, but it does well at making Nagatoro someone the reader wants to know better (or fall for, depending), and that's all this manga's audience is looking for, I expect.
I'm half-tempted to read more of this to find out more about the supporting cast beyond their character designs and one or two of them being in the judo club. But come down to it, I'm not so strongly in synch with it that I'd prioritize reading more, so this trip to Kyoto is plenty for me. Thanks, J! :)

I read the first 5 volumes and stopped for awhile before catching up to volume 14 recently. I think the schtick was getting a little tired (I pretty much read the first 5 volumes all at once). But it seems like Nanashi finds his story after that and from volume 6 on (particularly starting with 9) the progression of the Hayase and Nao's relationship is deliberately and skillfully told, all without tossing the original premise entirely. I am impressed with how smoothly, realistically, and efectively Nanashi was able to make the transition while staying true to the characters' personalities. Shifting attention to subplots like judo practice and meddling friends kept the tension that the series has always been good at and the pacing at a perfect pitch. I basically absorbed volumes 9-14. I'm really invested in their relationship and want to see it succeed but I don't want to lose the humor. So far it doesn't seem like I have to worry about it. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series! The part where they're at the wish stone might be one of my favorites in the whole series. I had to read it really slowly to keep myself from reading it too quickly.
Volume 15 is out but my library system doesn't have it, so I might have to snag it from Amazon...

July 6, 2022Non mi piacciono le storie d’amore ma questa in particolare è come una droga, l’ho divorata. La coppia Nagatoro-senpai è disfunzionale al massimo ma faccio il tifo per loro con tutto il mio cuore. I disegni sono top, lei è una vera chicca (ha l’abbronzatura che le fa il segno del costume intero, come tutti i nuotatori, che dettaglio pazzesco). C’è il giusto equilibrio tra le scene comiche, hot, dolci, intime, con personaggi corali… Proprio chef kiss

After so many chapters of little movement between Nagataro and Senpai something finally happens and its uplifting to see. This is where the series is worth checking out. Sadly it seems to take a long time for things to get to this point.

Some good development here..but argh I need the confession!

Finally he finds his feelings for nagatoro, but I will be pissed if the confession drags on for the rest of the Manga series.

A really cute volume focused on a joint excursion. Things are progressing really smoothy, this is a very fun and quick manga to read.

Progress!
A class trip leads to more closeness and clarity. He's finally willing to admit to himself that he's falling for Nagatoro.
What will the next step be?
