The Takagi-san film tells an original story set 10 years after the original manga's high school setting. Mei Nagano (live-action My Broken Mariko) plays the titular Takagi, now a trainee teacher at her alma mater, while Fumiya Takahashi (Kamen Rider Zero-One, right) plays Nishikata, now a PE coach at the same school.
Nagano said she had already read the manga and watched the anime before receiving the role, so she is "excited to enter the world of Teasing Master Takagi-san."

Rikiya Imaizumi (live-action Houzuki-san Chi no Aneki, Chihiro-san, Just Only Love), the director of the manga's upcoming live-action series, is also directing the film. As with the live-action series, Imaizumi is also co-writing the scripts with Tomoki Kanazawa (Sanctuary, Sabakan) and Jun Hagimori (Sabakan). Takashi Ohmama (Dances with the Dragons, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, The Gene of AI) is composing the music.
Synopsis
High school student Nishikata is tired of his nearby classmate, Takagi. Day after day, she teases him with every kind of trick or prank. Even when he tries to tease her back, she's always one step ahead, but he's not about to give up easily in this battle of wits and youth!
Finally, Yamamoto launched the manga in Gessan mini, the companion booklet to Gessan (Monthly Shonen Sunday) magazine, in 2013. After Yamamoto finished serializing his Fudatsuki no Kyouko-chan manga in Gessan in June 2016, Teasing Master Takagi-san moved to Gessan in July 2016. The manga ended serialization on October 12.
