Teasing Master Takagi-san Drama Debuts on Netflix

Netflix is on a winning streak with live-action anime adaptations. With the likes of One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, the streaming service has found a successful venture when it comes to bringing animated characters to the "real world". There might be one series that you missed as a new live-action anime adaptation has hit the platform in Teasing Master Takagi-San, a romantic drama that has a strong history in the anime medium.

Like so many other anime adaptations, and live-action anime adaptations, Teasing Master Takagi-San began a manga. Published by Shogakukan, the series began in 2013 and was forged by creator Soichiro Yamamoto, who has since gone on to create other manga series including In The Heart of Kunochi Tsubaki and When Will Ayumu Make His Move. The initial anime adaptation arrived in 2018, created by Shin-Ei Animation, who anime fans might recognize for their work on Doraemon, Crayon Shin-chan, and many other classic franchises. While a new season hasn't been confirmed past the anime's third, it's clear that the dramatic series is still finding its way to new avenues.
