Soichiro Yamamoto’s Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san (lit. Teasing Master Takagi-san) will get an anime adaptation in 2018! The news was announced in the August issue of Shogakukan’s Gessan, which was released on 12 July 2017.
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san tells the story of Nishikata-kun, a middle school boy who is constantly being teased by his seat neighbor Takagi-san. It’s a slice-of-life comedy with its newest manga volume coming out on 19 August 2017. Aside from the regular version, a special version including a figure of Takagi-san will be released.
In the August issue they also revealed the result of the Takagi-san Cup, where they collected ideas for a spin-off of the series. The two winners were Yuma Suzu’s Koi ni Koi suru Yukari-chan and Mitsufumi Inaba’s Karakai Jouzu no (moto) Takagi-san. It will start publishing in the August issue and Karakai Jouzu no (moto) Takagi-san will be published through Shogakukan’s manga app Manga One on 15 July 2017.
The first season of the new year is just one month away from its finale. It was a great start with many amazing titles that made these past months worth the extra hours we put in front of our sets. Now, it is time for the cold wind to give way to the pink hues of the sakura tree and for the Winter 2018 season to give the anime baton to Spring 2018.
