And so, he attempts to tease her day after day, only to find himself victim to Takagi-san's ridicule again sooner than later. Will he be able to make Takagi-san blush from embarrassment even once in the end?

Usually I am bothered by lack of story progression, but the heartfelt nature of this show keeps me excited to see each next episode. The anime closely follows the manga, so reading them side by side is great for reinforcing a similar set of vocab.
