For Fans of Playful Teasing

Class President is a Maid

After their high school’s recent transfer from all-boys school to co-ed, it wasn’t easy for Misaki Ayuzawa to become the school’s first female class president. While she inspires terror at school, she also works part-time at a maid café to help her struggling family. However, when one of the most popular boys at school, Takumi Usui, discovers her secret, her world is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Although Class President is a Maid is more of your traditional romance series, it does feature a couple that is highly dependent on one person picking on the other like Takagi-san.

Tsurezure Children

Tsurezure Children depicts the many different scenarios of young love. From the relationship between the student council president and a rebel girl to a boy so crippled by his own lack of self-confidence that he can’t accept that a girl confessed to him. You follow their triumphs and failures throughout the relationships of half a dozen young couples.

Takagi-san is filled with sweet moments and gentle teasing. Now take that and multiply it by twelve couples, and you would then have Tsurezure Children.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Kyon had long given up on his belief in the supernatural until he meets Haruhi Suzumiya. Haruhi, a strange girl in her own right, is interested in all things supernatural, but laments the lack of intriguing clubs on campus. Kyon, however, inspires her to create her own club, and thus, the SOS Brigade is born. Unfortunately for Kyon, he is also roped into joining this new club dedicated to all things supernatural.

Let’s be real here, what Haruhi does to Kyon is borderline bullying sometimes, and it is the same in Takagi-san. However, while everyone gets caught up in these games, it also builds very real feelings.

Where Does The Skilled Teaser Takagi-San Anime Leave Off in The Manga?

You have watched the anime, now it is time to pick up where the anime left off with the manga.

For Fans of Outwitting Games

High Score Girl

Haruo is not popular, handsome, or even friendly. His sole redeeming quality is his skill at video games. However, his world is thrown upside down by a popular rich girl in his class, Oono, who absolutely trounces him in every game. Now He follows her from arcade to arcade trying to win.

Both anime series tell as story where a boy and a girl interact. In their interactions, the girl is superior at something, whether it is teasing or video games, and the boy adamantly tries to best her, but in doing so, become friends.

Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto

Sophisticated, suave, and handsome, Sakamoto is perfect in every way. Unfortunately, his sheer perfection provokes everyone from his peers to his teachers to try to trip him up, but they just can’t manage it. However, they just might learn something about themselves along the way.

If you enjoyed the plots thought out in Takagi-san, then you will enjoy this even more. Sakamoto’s plots are much more intricate and well thought out, so it goes above and beyond in that respect, but does lack the romance.

Tonari No Seki-kun

Yokoi is a dedicated student, but she is sat next to Seki, who is…not. Instead of paying attention in class, he constantly creates extremely detailed games and other distractions on his desk. However, though Yokoi finds herself drawn in, somehow it is always her that gets in trouble with the teacher.

Both series follow two people that sit next to each other in school. Via either teasing or distraction, one party is clearly superior and drives the lesser party up a wall.

For Fans of Will They, Won’t They Romance

B Gata H Kei

Yamada is beautiful and just entering high school, but she has one strange goal – to have casual sex with 100 men. The problem is that she is afraid of being teased for being a virgin. Upon happenstance, she stumbles upon a solution to her problem, the soft-spoken (also virgin) Kosuda. The problem is, he knows nothing about sex and is a shy gentleman about it.

If you can withstand the vast barrage of perverted situations in B Gata H Kei, the series can be pretty similar to Takagi-san. Both parties bond together and clearly fall in love, but their feels just don’t make it through.

One Week Friends

High school student Hase Yuuki finds out the hard way how difficult romance can be after finding out Kaori, the girl he has fallen for, can only remember memories for a week at a time. Because of this, she often shies away from making friends, but can Yuuki’s sheer determination help her come out of her shell for just one week?

In Takagi-San, both characters refuse to admit they love each other for various reasons. Alternatively, in One Week Friends, you clearly see that love forming between both parties, but also must consider the ethical and practical qualms of loving someone when you only remember them for a week.

Hyouka

After his sister’s nagging, energy-conservative Oreki joins the Classic Literature Club. However, he gets more than he bargained for when he is dragged into a 45-year-old mystery that surrounds their club room by the endlessly curious and intriguingly cute Chitanda. Alongside his club mates, he also finds himself dragged into a host of other cases by Chitanda’s curiosity, using his keen mind to come to logical solutions.

Romance takes a second seat in Hyouka to many of it’s tiny, unimportant mysteries. Hyouka is very much the same sort of frustrating romance series like Takagi-san where the main character refuses to admit or even acknowledge that they are in love.
