''Take on Me'' is an 18-chapter [[Sex Comedy|sex-comedy]] manga written and illustrated by Takamura Sessyu; collected in two volumes, following a fairly loose chronology. The story follows a small, skinny high-schooler named Tomonori Tsuda and his sexual adventures with his class's [[Huge Schoolgirl]] Hikaru Ohno. After accidentally photographing an upskirt of her, he half-heartedly blackmails her into sex, to which she enthusiastically agrees. Guilty for blackmailing her, he tells her she shouldn't have to have sex with him- only to find out that his blackmail didn't scare her in the first place, and that she was interested in him all along. From that point forward, their relationship progresses personally and sexually in this manga. Along for the ride are Hikaru's '''older''' [[Token Mini Moe|sister]] ([[Older Than They Look|who is apparently]] [[Christmas Cake|26]], but with hormone deficiency), some [[Foe Yay|sworn rivals]], and a pair of [[Anything That Moves|bisexual]] [[Single Minded Twins|tw]][[Twincest|ins]] whom Tsuda loses his virginity to - but he [[Technical Virgin|doesn't want to admit it]].

Renamed ''Domin8 Me'' when it was released in North America to avoid confusion with the 1980s hit by [[A-ha]] (granted it was just one of '''MANY''' musical and movie references contained within the manga - particularly, the chapter titles).
