Later, when he notices that she received her test result of a 98%, she removes her panties, and he sees her receiving the exam result again, but this time with a perfect score. She soon confronts him and tells him that she has the ability to rewind time by taking off her underwear which then disappears. However, because he saw her naked, he is able to go back in time with her. She then forces him to be her "closet", that is, to replace her panties with fresh ones wherever she goes and uses the power, and to keep it all a secret from others..

Reception[]

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first manga volume 2 out of 5 stars, criticizing the writing for at times being mean-spirited, but otherwise enjoyed the ludicrous factor and the fan service artwork. Lynzee Loveridge rated it a "No thanks", especially with the extortion condition "I can get sexy lady fanservice of all stripes without the loaded baggage of this shit."[3]

In June 2021, Please Put Them On, Takamine-san was nominated for the seventh Next Manga Award award in the Best Printed Manga category.[11]
