First Impressions: Nagatoro's Introduction
The first episode throws you right into the deep end. We meet Naoto Hachioji, a shy, introverted artist. He just wants to draw his manga in peace!
Then BAM! Enter Nagatoro. She's a spunky, mischievous girl who finds... well, finds *him* endlessly amusing.
What follows is a hilarious barrage of teasing and playful bullying. She rips his drawings, makes fun of his hobbies, and generally flusters him to no end.

Nagatoro's jabs are surprisingly witty. She's not just being mean for the sake of it. There's a playful, almost affectionate edge to her torment.
And Senpai's reactions? Priceless! He's so easily flustered. The contrast between his awkwardness and her confidence is comedy gold.
The English Dub: A Perfect Fit

More Than Just Teasing
Beneath all the teasing, there's a hint of something more. You can see that Nagatoro actually enjoys Senpai's company.
She pushes him out of his comfort zone. Maybe, just maybe, she's helping him grow. It's a weird way of showing affection, but hey, it works for them!
There's a certain charm in how she tries to push him beyond his social anxiety. And that makes you think it is not only for fun.
