This article includes spoilers for the manga “Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san”. Reader discretion is advised.

Among all the manga currently published, there is no doubt that “Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san (Don't mess with me, Miss Nagatoro)” is one of the most important romantic comedies of the moment. In fact, with its most recent chapters the work took an incredible leap forward by finally developing the relationship between Naoto and Nagatoro, making them a couple and even leading them to their first kiss.

However, the last two episodes caused even more sensation by showing that the beautiful couple had finally reached another point in their relationship: their first fight. After Naoto finally beat Machida in the practical exams of the college preparatory course, it was finally time for her to pay off the bet. Remembering the previous chapters, the bet was that the loser would have to pose nude for the rest of the class to tie.

In the most recent episode we saw Machida finally pay off the bet, posing for class wearing only a choker and high heels.

But that's exactly where the problem arises, as Naoto tries to keep this situation a secret and doesn't tell Nagatoro what he drew in class. Full of curiosity, Nagatoro reviews Naoto's drawings without asking permission, thus discovering the drawing of Machida completely naked, even though her boyfriend had told her that "they had drawn the usual thing".

Nagatoro is upset by the lie, but Naoto also complains that she went through his things without asking permission, which caused the couple's first fight. In the latest chapter, Nagatoro seems visibly affected by the situation, with her siblings and friends immediately realizing that there is trouble.

When her friends ask her what's going on, Nagatoro tries to downplay the situation and then comes the panel that recently went viral on social media. Her friends make Nagatoro see that, in fact, she cried the whole time she told what happened. «I have become so weak“, he mentions.

Some took advantage of the fact that the translations were not yet available to share this panel and say that “Ijiranaide's partner, Nagatoro-san, had finished”, which is completely wrong. Eventually Naoto realizes that Nagatoro is not hurt because he saw and drew Machida naked, but because he tried to hide it from her. It's obvious that everything will end well like in any other romantic comedy manga, but this did not go unnoticed:

• «Poor Hayase can't control her body's reactions anymore. I really hope Nanashi one day makes Senpai tell Nagatoro, "Take off your clothes, I'll draw you," like in the memes. Maybe that will solve the problem?».
• «Wow, I never thought seeing Nagatoro cry would make me feel this way.».
• «Gamo has actually become my favorite secondary character».
• «No, fuck Nagatoro. The boy has the right to privacy.».
• «I don't know if this is the first time I've seen this in a manga, but I'm surprised at how realistic the author is being with this work. He's following a path that could happen to any couple: taking your partner's things without permission is an invasion of privacy. It's an act of insecurity on your partner's part and these are those times when you have to talk it out as a couple and avoid misunderstandings.».
• «The author saw how all the characters in current romcoms are kissing and suddenly changed his way of writing when it was always about Nagatoro bullying Naoto».
• «The only thing that makes Nagatoro good is her voice actress, Sumire Uesaka. From then on, her character is extremely castro.».
• «In fact, falling in love makes you emotionally weak.».
