The Teasing Master Takagi-san movie has released a teaser visual depicting Nishikata and Takagi looking out at rice fields under the sun. It was also announced that the movie will premiere in Japan on June 10.
The visual’s tagline indicates that the movie will center on the summer of the two protagonists’ third year of middle school.
The Teasing Master Takagi-san movie will arrive several months after Teasing Master Takagi-san Season 3‘s January premiere. The anime is based on the teenage romantic comedy manga series by Souichirou Yamamoto, who also created When Will Ayumu Make His Move?. The first and second seasons premiered in January 2018 and July 2019 respectively.
Crunchyroll describes the Teasing Master Takagi-san anime as:
“I swear I’m going to tease and embarrass Takagi-san today!” Nishikata, a middle-schooler, keeps getting teased by the girl who sits next to him in class, Takagi-san. He tries every day to get back at her, but will he ever succeed? Takagi-san and Nishikata’s youthful teasing battle starts now!
The movie’s staff includes returning series staff like Akagi Hiroaki as director; Aya Takano as character designer, Hiroaki Tsutsumi as music composer; and Hiroko Fukuda, Aki Itami, and Kanichi Katou as scriptwriters. Fukuda, who was the series composer for the series, is also handling the movie’s story composition. Shin-Ei Animation is again the animation production company. Meanwhile, the lead cast members are Rie Takahashi as Takagi and Yuki Kaji as Nishikata respectively.
Teasing Master Takagi-san was first published under Shogakukan’s Monthly Shonen Sunday Mini in 2013 before moving to Monthly Shonen Sunday in 2016. Yen Press publishes the manga in English.
The manga has inspired a spin-off about a married Takagi and Nishikata and their daughter titled Karakai Jouzu no (Moto) Takagi-san (Teasing Master [Former] Takagi-san) which began in 2017. Another manga spin-off titled Koi ni Koisuru Yukari-chan (Lover of Love Yukari-chan) ran from 2017 to 2020.
