iQIYI Thailand announced on March 19 that iQIYI will stream the anime of Nanashi's Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro (Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san) manga. The stream will be available in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. Hong Kong content distributor MediaLink Entertainment Limited is listed as the licensor.
The series will premiere in Japan on the Tokyo MX and BS11 channels on April 10 at 25:00 (effectively, April 11 at 1:00 a.m.) It will also run on MBS and AT-X.
Vertical publishes the manga in North America, and it describes the romantic comedy story:
Mischievous Nagatoro-san always bugs Senpai to get a reaction out of him.
What is her motivation? Does she just want to create misery for Senpai?
Or maybe she secretly likes him?
The cast includes:
- Sumire Uesaka as Nagatoro
- Daiki Yamashita as Senpai
- Mikako Komatsu as Gamo-chan
- Aina Suzuki as Yosshii
- Shiori Izawa as Sakura
Hirokazu Hanai (Dances with the Dragons) is directing the anime at Telecom Animation Film, and Taku Kishimoto (ERASED, 2019's Fruits Basket, Haikyu!!) is supervising the series scripts.
Misaki Suzuki (sub-character designs on Lupin the Third: Part 5, Tari Tari) is designing the characters, and Gin (Busted Rose) from Pop Team Epic and Why the Hell are You Here, Teacher!? is composing the music.
Uesaka is performing the anime's opening theme song.
Nanashi debuted the manga on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket website in November 2017. The 10th compiled volume shipped in Japan on March 9, and Kodansha Comics will publish the sixth volume in English on March 23.
