This manga is very wholesome, sweet, innocent and adorable.

It is weldrawn and almost episodic in nature. So embracing the slow plot progression.
I enjoyed reading this as the chemistry between Nishikata and Takagi is enjoyable and well established.

I cannot imagine reading this again, as it is just good vibes and nothing is challenging the reader. No drama, no "after the confession", no showdowns with friends or family and no real plot. But sometimes, wholesome slice of life is all that you need.

I recommend this, and I respect the manga for what it does. But I cannot imagine buying 20 tankobons of just you ... know... this?

This manga became my new favourite series of all time.. There is just something about that makes every chapter incredibly enjoyable, and you always leave reading it with a good feeling. The main characters are competitive in a very playful sense and both never go too far, always showing a deep care for each other and other people above everything. The art starts out a bit weak but gets simple and yet very pretty over time. This is truly one of the best romance mangas ever, if you ever have children having the volumes in a bookcase would be wonderful to give them the experience ... of reading such a wonderful story.

After binge-watching three seasons and the movie, I decided to read only the final chapter of the manga, "177 Summer Festival." The repetitive nature of Takagi teasing Nishikata became apparent during my binge-watching, and the manga's content seemed to follow the same pattern. While I checked out a few manga chapters to see if it was worth investing more time, it didn't feel compelling. Reading weekly might have offered a different experience, but the content appeared unchanged.

Spoiler:
My disappointment peaked when, after 176 chapters, Nishikata suddenly confesses his love for Takagi at the summer festival. The impact was minimal, If he had confessed earlier, it might ... have added depth to their love story, but as it stands, there's not much to explore.

Conclusion:
if you're planning to watch or read Takagi-san in a binge, I wouldn't recommend it as you might find it boring, like I did. However, if you consume one or two chapters weekly, you'll likely enjoy it more. Takagi San is a good manga, and and I'd suggest giving it a chance, especially if you enjoy slice-of-life stories.
