Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san (Teasing Master Takagi-san) is a romantic slice of life manga written and illustrated by Souichirou Yamamoto. The series began in 2013, published under Shogakukan’s Gessan mini booklet. The manga transferred to the main Gessan magazine in July 2016, following the completion of Yamaoto’s other manga Fudatsuki no Kyouko-chan. To date, a total of 17 compiled volumes have been published. The series was also nominated for the grand prize at the 2017 Manga Taishou awards. A spin-off of the manga ran from November 2014 until November 2015 in Yomiuri Chuu Kousei Shinbun for 53 chapters. The main series received a TV anime adaptation in the Winter 2017/2018 anime season, produced by Shin-Ei Animation and directed by Hiroaki Akagi. A second season of the anime premiered in the Summer 2019 anime season and a third season in the following Winter 2020/2021 anime season.
Here is the series synopsis from MAL:
“If you blush, you lose.””If you blush, you lose.”
Living by this principle, the middle schooler Nishikata gets constantly made fun of by his seat neighbor Takagi-san. With his pride shattered to pieces, he vows to turn the tables and get back at her some day. And so, he attempts to tease her day after day, only to find himself victim to Takagi-san’s ridicule again sooner than later. Will he be able to make Takagi-san blush from embarrassment even once in the end?
The upcoming Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san film is currently in production and will release in Japan on June 10.
