Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro
Just a few years in the past, I took a gender on the Don’t Toy with Me, Nagatoro-san manga. I actually preferred the manga, however I wasn’t as eager on the anime adaptation. Nevertheless, now that the manga has come to an finish, I really feel I ought to evaluation the collection.
****SPOILERS TO FOLLOW!!!***
The Story in Transient
A nerdy, lonely, highschool man named HACHIOUJI Naoto sits within the library to work on his manga. He’s dismayed to see some gyaru-type youthful women laughing and chatting at one of many tables. They turn into conscious of him when he unintentionally knocks his guide bag on the ground. Three of the ladies snigger on the manga pages Naoto drew. They go away, however the fourth lady, a tanned, petite lady stays behind. Whereas she likes the manga, she has harsh criticism for her Senpai’s self-insertion into the story. This causes him to cry.
Thus an odd relationship begins between Naoto and his kouhai, Nagatoro. She begins spending all of her free time with him, even modeling for him. However she typically teases and bullies him, trying to impress a response aside from tears. She doesn’t wish to know his title, and merely addresses him as Senpai. But on the similar time, she desires nothing to do with the “sizzling” guys who’re very curious about her. Additional, when Nagatoro’s pals attempt to muscle in on the teasing recreation, Nagatoro stops them, claiming to be the one one who’s allowed to do that.
Over time, Nagatoro brings Naoto out of his shell. He accompanies Nagatoro and her pals to the seashore. He goes on his personal to a summer time pageant, the place he’s ultimately joined by Nagatoro. And when Nagatoro and her pals are with some aggressive males, he will get the ladies away from the state of affairs. Nevertheless, the introduction of Naoto’s large-breasted senpai and his senpai’s sister trigger Nagatoro to need to step up her personal recreation. Will these two ever exit and turn into a correct couple?
The Good: Character Progress
The unique doujinshi that began the Don’t Toy with Me, Nagatoro-san collection just about stored the characters of Naoto (solely often called “Senpai” again then” and Nagatoro in a established order. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case within the official manga launch. For a begin, Naoto begins his journey as a timid, simple to cry, weak man who solely desires to flee to a fantasy world of his or another person’s making. But because of his relationship with Nagatoro, over time, Naoto turns into stronger as an individual. He’s capable of stand as much as people when wanted. Naoto expresses himself and his needs, one thing he’d by no means performed earlier than.
As to Nagatoro, she too grows as a personality over the course of the manga. Whereas she by no means stops teasing her favourite Senpai, she’s additionally molding him. She goes from harsh, bullying to teasing him. Whereas her preliminary pursuits in Naoto might have been shallow, these develop as she involves know him. And has Naoto grows as a personality, so does Nagatoro. She takes inspiration from him to return to the judo membership and compete towards a rival.
Over the course of the manga, it actually is good seeing the journey Nagatoro and Naoto take collectively. It’s cute seeing Nagatoro get jealous anytime some other lady exhibits curiosity in Naoto, even when supposedly to tease him. On the similar time, it’s good seeing Naoto push issues to be with Nagatoro and to help her when she returns to judo.
Vertical License
Whereas I’m blissful for Nanashi-sensei that Don’t Toy with Me, Nagatoro-san acquired an English license, I’m not blissful that Vertical scored it. That’s as a result of Vertical’s official coverage on Japanese honorifics within the adaptation is, “We aren’t going to have any of that filthy,
When Vertical introduced that the official English title of the manga could be Miss Nagatoro relatively than Nagatoro-san, I questioned how the bozos would take care of the senpai honorific. In any case, for the longest time within the manga, Naoto was merely known as “Senpai”, “Paisen”, or a variation like “Senpai-kun.” As such, it should have killed the administration to be pressured to make use of the “horribly disgusting time period” often called “Senpai”. I truly thought Vertical would possibly change it, ’trigger as everybody is aware of, a “good” localizer doesn’t want to make use of silly
Since Vertical refused to make use of Japanese honorifics aside from “senpai”, I refused to purchase something from them after the primary few volumes. As a substitute, Nanashi-sensei can get my cash by tankoubon purchases I make by way of Amazon Japan.
Closing Ideas and Conclusion
Let me wrap up my evaluation of Don’t Toy with Me, Nagatoro-san with some closing ideas.
- The supporting solid of the manga collection are fairly attention-grabbing. Nagatoro’s pals and Naoto’s large breasted senpai definitely do assist stir the pot.
- Contemplating the place 774-sensei (Nanashi) began his profession, it’s superb that he was capable of wrote a manga this good by way of story. He’s clearly planning for one thing new sooner or later. If it appears to be like attention-grabbing, I’ll test it out.
- I ought to point out that this manga is pretty ecchi. I do know there’s a fan-edit of an early chapter the place Nagatoro unintentionally makes a video name to Naoto whereas she’s within the tub. However so far as I do know, the precise printed manga contained no such detailed nudity. Nevertheless, there are quite a lot of sexual parts added, whether or not in dialog, the “unintended” really feel, or within the nondescript nudity.
In the long run, Don’t Toy with Me, Nagatoro-san was a enjoyable experience. I’ll miss studying this manga.
