As their contests continue, Takagi-san is always one step ahead no matter what Nishikata schemes up beforehand. But he won’t back down—Nishikata will compete against Takagi-san forever if that’s what it takes! Because whether they’re hunting for the prettiest rock, waging a fierce battle with shadow puppets, or just reminiscing about what brought them together, Nishikata can’t help but think maybe it’s all right to keep losing—so long as he gets to spend more time with her!

Volume 18 of the Teasing Master Takagi-san manga series by Chiho Christie.
