They first met at their school library when Nagatoro was hanging out with her friends and he comes to work on his manga. She read Hachiouji's manga and seeing his shy behavior, she decides that she will toy with him. She call him "Senpai" instead of his real name. Nagatoro's continual teasing leave him feeling embarrassed, he literally cried at a moment. However, as they spend more time together, a strange sort of friendship develops between them. Slowly Hachiouji enjoys the time he spend with Nagatoro. Now his days are not dull anymore.
(Season 2) - Nagatoro and Hachiouji have grown closer. Nagatoro spends more time than ever in the art club room with her senpai. Now Hachiouji no longer minds Nagatoro's presence. However, they still can't close the distance between them. It is clear to everyone else that they have feelings for each other.
For Nagatoro, teasing her senpai is the most entertaining thing for her. She shows no plans to stop teasing her senpai, it is only a matter of time before they realize how they truly feel.

Ending In Season 1- Hachiouji competes with his art club president Hana, in their schools culture festival. It was a competition of artwork, to see who grabs more attention. Hachiouji thinks he can't be able to defeat his president, but Nagatoro gives him a push and tries to help her senpai to get more attention. The president painting get's taken over by student guidance council because of its nudity, which was to much for a school artwork. Hachiouji wins the competition. After winning they all head towards the closing ceremony concert.
Ending In Season 2- Nagatoro suggests that tomorrow she will make lunch for her senpai. Hochiouji refuse that and tells her that instead of her tomorrow he will make lunch for her. Later they both decide that they will make lunch for each other. While returning from school Nagatoro tells Hachiouji to hug her, he takes his time and then slowly hugs her.
(In the manga the ending was little bit different, they didn't hug each other. When they decided to make lunch for each other, they simply makes the lunch at home according to their taste.)

Overall My Review - I loved this anime. It has become one of my favorite anime. When I am depressed or sad I watch this anime, it changes my mood instantly. Nagatoro's teasing with naughtiness is the main highlight of this anime, I loved it. Their is a romance layer under this story. Nagatoro actually loves his senpai. This makes the story more interesting. The other characters are also interesting. The best thing I loved about this anime is how Nagatoro and Hachiouji unknowingly helps each other to grow stronger. I will defiantly recommend you this anime.
Need To Watch ? - Of course (Recommended)
What will Happen in Season 2 (My Thought)
Nagatoro will continue teasing with her senpai. And their romantic relation will also grow at the same time.
