The web manga ran in Magazine Pocket, an online and app-based web manga magazine published by Kodansha, from November 2017 to July 2024. An anime television series adaptation produced by Telecom Animation Film aired from April to June 2021. A second season produced by OLM aired from January to March 2023.

Plot

Naoto Hachiouji, an introverted second-year student at Kazehaya High School, prefers to avoid social interactions and draw manga in his spare time. However, first-year girl Hayase Nagatoro inadvertently discovers the manga, calls him her "Senpai", and teases him to the point of crying. She starts frequenting the art club room where he hangs out, and continues to bully him for his timid personality and otaku interests, sometimes in a sexually suggestive fashion. Initially, Senpai does not like Nagatoro at all, and desperately tries to stay as far away from her and her antics as he possibly can. As she continues to push him to become more assertive, he slowly realizes he is falling in love with her, and gradually comes out of his shell and involves himself in her life.

Senpai meets Nagatoro's friends — Gamo, Yoshi and Sakura — who at first appear to be cruel and shallow high school girls who only seek to torment Senpai, but they catch on to Senpai and Nagatoro's obvious mutual crush and become supportive friends who scheme to bring the two closer together. The art club's semi-retired president Sana Sunomiya appears and tries to shut down the club, but after a contest between her and Senpai during the culture festival, she allows it to continue. During the next school year, the president's younger cousin Hana Sunomiya joins the art club, whereas Nagatoro joins the judo club. Hana understands what is happening between Senpai and Nagatoro, and makes it her mission to help them.

Nagatoro takes part in a judo tournament and makes Senpai promise that if she defeats her rival, Orihara, he will give her a kiss. Senpai thinks she is teasing him, but she insists she is being serious. So, Senpai makes a promise of his own: if he scores first at his mock university entrance exam, he will confess to Nagatoro. In the cram school, Senpai's schoolmate, Machida, is jealous of Senpai and Nagatoro's relationship and makes a bet with him: whoever scores lower at the exam will have to pose nude for the other. Sometime later, Senpai undertakes his exam and goes to the tournament to cheer for Nagatoro, who manages to defeat Orihara. Despite failing to score first at the exam, Senpai confesses to Nagatoro anyway, and they officially become a couple. Not long after, they share their promised kiss.

However, Machida, having lost her bet with Senpai, poses nude for him in his art class. Nagatoro later asks Senpai what he drew, and he lies that it was nothing important. Suspicious, Nagatoro takes a look at his drawing of Machida, and Senpai scolds her for looking without permission. The next day, Nagatoro starts avoiding Senpai and breaks down crying while telling her friends what happened. Senpai rushes to her home to apologize, and after he promises to never lie to her again, the two reconcile.

After the rest of the year goes without problems, Senpai graduates from the school and moves to Tokyo, though he returns to celebrate Nagatoro's birthday. After learning of her plans to move to Tokyo once she graduates, Senpai proposes she move in with him, which she accepts.

She torments him by proving his character is braver than him, causing him to cry. He attempts to avoid her, but she interrupts his art club and pushes him into drawing her, but only after teasing him with the suggestion that she pose nude. She also offers him a secret prize for the finished drawing. With the drawing finished, she pretends to offer him a kiss but then mocks him for it, pointing out he was obviously too embarrassed to draw her thighs properly, causing him to cry again. On their way home, she asks him on a date, only to mock him again for thinking she was being serious and accidentally pushes him into a river. When he barely reacts, she demands to know why he isn't angry, and he admits after a lifetime of bullying, he can't get angry anymore, and while she annoys him, he somewhat enjoys her attention. Satisfied with his answer, she demands he call her Nagatoro, and she will call him Senpai.

Senpai buys an erotic vampire manga, which Nagatoro steals. Reading it, Nagatoro realizes the story is actually interesting, but points out that the cowardly human protagonist clearly resembles Senpai. Nagatoro jumps on Senpai, pretending to vampirize him, only to be repelled by the garlic from his lunch and accidentally grabs his crotch, embarrassing them both. However, she takes the opportunity to tease him for becoming aroused. The next day Nagatoro proposes a game of accurately poking where each other's nipples are under their clothing, with the prize of a ticket to force the loser to do any one thing without refusing. Senpai agrees, hoping he can force her to stop teasing him. Nagatoro correctly locates Senpai's nipples on her first attempt and assumes Senpai will be too embarrassed to take his turn. When Senpai decides he will try, Nagatoro becomes flustered, declares the game is over, and escapes before he can take his turn. Senpai goes to his favorite restaurant to continue writing his manga when Nagatoro arrives with her friend on a double date with two boys. Senpai notices that Nagatoro seems bored with the boys and doesn't tease them at all. However, when they meet outside the restaurant, Nagatoro returns to normal and teases Senpai as they walk home.

Walking home, they shelter from a rainstorm, and Nagatoro teases him over her shirt becoming see-through. Believing she is still wearing her swimsuit, Senpai looks at her and sees her bra, flustering them both. As the rain continues, Nagatoro invites Senpai to her home, which is close compared to his long walk home. Unable to leave after Nagatoro puts his wet clothes in the dryer, Senpai is invited to play games. Being an experienced gamer, Senpai plans to defeat her as revenge, but she continues to tease him and defeats him instead. Despite this, Senpai admits he had fun. The next day, Senpai cannot find anywhere to sit at lunch and is forced to sit with Nagatoro and her friends.

It is the start of the new school year and Senpai realizes he wants to paint Nagatoro again. Upon hearing this, she is greatly pleased and states that she gets to choose the outfit before running into the side room and changing into "Senpai's favorite" swimsuit. After modeling for some time they decide to take a break when Nagatoro begins to complain about having back pain in an effort to get Senpai to give her a massage. Her ploy works and she enjoys some quality teasing time with him. Once they finish, Nagatoro informs Senpai that she will be joining the judo club so she can not only accomplish her goal of defeating her rival, but also earn a kiss from Senpai. This catches Senpai off guard, as he assumed she was only joking about the kiss, and causes him to fumble around the question on whether or not he wants to kiss her when she asks. Just as he is about to give an answer the door to the clubroom swings open and a girl that looks similar to the ex-president walks in requesting to join the club. As it turns out the girl, Hana Sunomiya, was from Senpai's middle school where they were also both members of the Art club and the younger cousin of the president.

As Hana and Senpai leave school they meet up with the ex-president Sana, who was there to drive Hana home on her motorcycle.

While contemplating his feelings he notices that the judo club was still practicing so he decides to go and wait for Nagatoro. After a bit she runs past him and is caught by surprise. Clearly happy with the idea that he was waiting for her, she teases him a bit before they start to walk home. While walking, Senpai gathers the courage to ask, hypothetically, where Nagatoro would like to go if she had a day off. Caught off-guard and flustered, Nagatoro begins to list places they have no way of going to, causing Senpai to become discouraged. Noticing this, she quickly re-sets the topic to places nearby. Brought back in, Senpai suggests the movies, which she shoots down as being normal and not stimulating enough, discouraging Senpai again. He lists off two more horrible ideas which cause the conversation to stagnate and awkwardness to set in as they reach the point where they go their separate ways. After a disappointing goodbye Senpai begins walking and notices a construction sign with a penguin on it. Finally putting two and two together for once, he realizes that all of Nagatoro's ideas involve animals. Running back to the intersection they parted ways, he yells to Nagatoro, asking if she would like to go to the aquarium. While fully expecting Nagatoro to tease him about asking her to go somewhere with him, she instead very cheerfully accepts with a genuine smile. As the two have their moment, it is revealed that Yosshii and Gamo have overheard the conversation while in hiding. Throughout the next school day the two are noticeably distracted with Hana being very excited that Senpai was able to ask Nagatoro on a date and Gamo and Yosshii thinking that Nagatoro is planning on stealing Senpai virginity. The two are shown putting effort into choosing their outfits for the date, with Nagatoro's older sister trying to convince her to wear something sexy. On the day of the date a very nervous Senpai and a genuinely happy Nagatoro met up at a train station to head to the aquarium.

On the train, Nagatoro teases Senpai as per usual and announces that this date will be a practice run for him just in case he somehow manages to get a real date in the future. She immediately begins deducting points from him for various things as the camera pans over to Gamo and Yosshii hiding at the other end of the train car discussing with themselves as to why they need to save Senpai's virginity, stating that he needs more time to bloom and not wither away after firing his laser once. Beyond the train, Hana and Sana are seen on a motorcycle stating why they must stop the other two for the sake of love. At the aquarium, Nagatoro has a great time while Senpai, still nervous and unsure if the date is real or not, notices how close Nagatoro is in terms of approachability and calmness. Eventually, however, Nagatoro realizes that the aquarium is full of couples holding hands and wants to as well. She tells Senpai that there is something he should be noticing to which he responds by guessing that she is hungry, bored, or needs to use the bathroom, losing points with each failed guess. Ironically enough though, he notices the four girls that have been following them and, in an effort to escape them, grabs Nagatoro's hand and runs away with her while greatly pleasing Nagatoro in the process. Now in the food court, the two get some ice cream with Nagatoro revealing that she really likes spicy food and Senpai admitting that he does not when She teases him about licking some of her wasabi flavored ice cream for an indirect kiss. When he doesn't go for it she goes in to lick his vanilla ice cream, but they accidentally end up hitting the cones together resulting in the ice creams indirectly kissing. After finishing their food they go to see a dolphin show where Senpai takes notice of the other couples there and has doubts that he deserves to be there with Nagatoro, who is having a wonderful time. All of a sudden there is a big splash from the dolphin tank and he jumps in the way to shield Nagatoro from the water, surprising and impressing her to the point of indirectly calling him cool. Afterwards, they continue to enjoy the aquarium and Nagatoro is shown to have won a penguin plushie in a raffle. Eventually they leave the aquarium and make their way to the beach nearby where Nagatoro lists off Senpai's points for the date, which quickly becomes -450 points. This leaves Senpai visibly discouraged and causes a flustered Nagatoro to mention that he did do some great things such as holding her hand and blocking the water from splashing her, thus bringing up his points to 50... out of 1000 points. She then teases him some more, offering to help him practice more in the future if she had the time. When Senpai asks if she got any good practice out of the date, she adamantly admits that it was a real date to her. This causes Senpai to state that he also saw it as a real date. Wanting to finalize the date in some way, Nagatoro gives Senpai two options, they could either hug or kiss. Senpai, being so far out of his element at this point that he can't fathom a kiss, but also truly wanting to be with Nagatoro, says they should hug. She joyously accepts and opens her arms to him. By this time, the other girls had found them from a distance and began to move in to disrupt them, reaching Senpai and Nagatoro just before they could embrace. This causes Senpai and Nagatoro to become extremely embarrassed and not go through with it. The next day at school Nagatoro is seen with Sakura as the latter tries to convince Nagatoro to forgive Gamo and Yosshii, who are keeping a large distance between them and her. Nagatoro eventually accepts and they all run to the art club where they overhear Hana trying to force feed Senpai her own home-made lunch as an apology for interrupting the date. This greatly annoys Nagatoro who tries to convince Hana that she will be providing lunch for Senpai so she doesn't need to bring apology lunches anymore. Senpai, however, rejects Nagatoro's offer, much to the dismay of all the girls in the room, due to her already needing to get up early for judo. He then saves himself by offering to bring Nagatoro lunch on the days she has early judo and she can bring him lunches on days she does not, regaining the respect of the girls in the room and greatly pleasing Nagatoro. Later on the way home, Nagatoro asks Senpai if he would like to finish where they left off on their date. Senpai, embarrassed but determined, agrees and the two finally happily embrace with Nagatoro granting one final tease.

Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro has received overall positive reviews. The first few chapters have been criticized for Nagatoro's teasing, with reviewers comparing it to bullying. However, the art and character development has been well received, with Nagatoro showing a softer side as the series progresses.

Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro has also been compared to other works in the "teasing" genre, such as Teasing Master Takagi-san and Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!

In November 2019, the manga had over one million copies in circulation in Japan, and surpassed 1.2 million in mid-July 2020. As of October 2022, the manga had over 3.3 million copies in circulation.

The series' protagonists were featured in a cameo in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War - Dōjin Edition. Nanashi has also drawn a collaboration manga with Azu's Magical Sempai.
