Romantic but Hilarious: The kilig moments from Soichiro Yamamoto's sensational magnum opus
25 November 2019
Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san (English: Skilled Teaser Takagi-san) is widely recognized as the "magnum opus" or masterpiece by the notable mangaka Soichiro Yamamoto who has a smart idea to create a story about a teenage girl named Takagi-san teases and pranks a boy which is her seatmate and close friend named Nishikata. Nishikata is known for devising a plan for Takagi-san with the use of pranks whether he would win or lose but unfortunately, he lost. Due to this, the rule of their games is "If you blush, you lose" which has been a running gag of the show. The show is actually interesting along with the trio of girls named Mina, Yukari, and Sanae who are just doing something to their classmates or Nishikata and Takagi-san. Most of the episodes are definitely hilarious with some parts that are "nakaka-kilig" or "romantic". The anime couple Nishikata and Takagi-san is more similar to the KathNiel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla), JaDine (Nadine Lustre and James Reid), and LizQuen (Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano) where they are considered widely popular by the fans.

Anyway, this show has generated a huge number of followers not only from Japan but also in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines. The Philippines has been an "anime capital of Southeast Asia" due to the country's endless appreciation to anime and Japanese culture. Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san continues to be a sensation in Japan as well as in the Philippines.

I praised the animation, the story, the characters, and the development of the characters' personalities in which this anime continues to be a great suggestion to watch to the community of anime lovers.
