So… is this going to be like an adorable Tonari no Seki-kun with prank wars? I can get down with that.
Earlier today, the official Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san (Takagi-san, the Master of Teasing) anime website opened its doors. The site features a teaser trailer and visual, as well as the core cast and crew attached to the show. We break the details down below:
Promo Video
The 90-second trailer features a prank gone horribly wrong as male lead Nishikata tries to play a trick on classmate Takagi. She turns the tables, though, and has him make a face that gets him in trouble with the teacher. The rest of the trailer involves Takagi calling to classmate, who’s ignoring her to avoid getting in trouble. When he finally turns over, she’s looking over, head on her desk, as she says “You finally looked at me.”
Key Visual
The visual features leading lady Takagi-san sitting at her desk, head in palm as she smiles and looks toward the camera.
