Nagatoro-san

Nagatoro is the titular character of Please Don't Bully Me, Nagatoro-san, a web doujin created by the artist Nanashi and later serialized into manga. She is a sadistic, dark-skinned high school student who frequently bullies the meek, bespectacled Senpai for her own amusement. In the original doujin, Nagatoro is shown to be cruel, while in the manga the teasing is toned down, especially in later chapters where her feelings for Senpai become more apparent and character arcs begin to develop. Her given name is later revealed as Hayase.

Nagatoro is commonly cited as an example of the sadodere archetype, or a girl who enjoys manipulating other people's feelings. She gained popularity within the online anime fandoms as expected of their degenerate taste. The smug-faced brown "loli" has been compared to girls from other series with the same "girl teases boy" premise, which includes Takagi and Uzaki.

As a member of Spring 2021's notable group of newcomer girls, Nagatoro reached the semi-finals of r/anime's spring seasonal but was defeated by Lena from 86. She also competed in ISML's seasonal counterpart, but never won a game in the round-robin group stage. Her first eligible major contests in those websites will occur in the following year (Best Girl 9 and ISML 2022).
