Tsukasa-chan is LOVE.  |
The better question is why didn't she move out of the way.

A masochist is someone who is taking pleasure out of humiliation and pain. Nothing is further from the truth with Junichi, he is genuinely scared. Yet, at the same time he's trying his best to follow through with the festival work, and - like he says - even though Tsukasa coerced him into working hard - he enjoyed doing this together with Tsukasa. Masochism jya nai.
Sadism is a harsh harsh word to use. When you have someone you like to tease and mess with, does that make you a sadist? Is the threshold this low?
It's true that there are indicators that Ayatsuji likes messing with him, e.g. when she decides to bully (ijimeru) him some more tomorrow. But sadism, as in drawing pleasure out of the torment of someone else? I don't see it. Playing pranks on him, messing with his mind a bit, THAT'S what she's doing. Not whipping him into total submission.
There's a German proverb: "Was sich neckt, das liebt sich" - which roughly translates to "those who tease each other, love each other". That feels more like what's going on.

Okay, it is not correct to label either of them with those words, especially Junichi. However, psychologically speaking, which is what sadism was focused on before it become associated with sex, the happiness Tsukasa showed at the end, in regards to troubling Junichi, is sadistic in nature. I am just trying to say there is a very wide "spectrum" for this because it is psychological in nature. In Haruka's arc, that cafeteria scene where Haruka was a prisoner of sorts, was S&M, even though no one was being physically hurt.
