Sōichirō Yamamoto’s Teasing Master Takagi-san is a Japanese manga series featuring the daily life of Takagi, who loves to tease her classmate Nishikata, and Nishikata’s failed attempts to get back at her.

Shin-Ei Animation adapted the anime as a television series that aired from January to March 2018. An original video animation (OVA) also released in July of the same year. A second season aired from July to September 2019.

In 2021, Teasing Master Takagi-san won the 66th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category.

Yen Press licensed the series in English and described the story as:

Middle schooler Nishikata has had it with his classmate Takagi–the chronic teaser who sits nearby. Day in and day out, she comes after him with every sort of trick or prank. Even when he tries to get her back, she’s always one step ahead. But rest assured, it’s only the beginning. He’s not about to give up that easily in this battle of cunning and youth!
