Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro mangaka is set to start new manga series for 2025.
Nanashi, also known as 774, is the author and artist behind the adorable ecchi romance manga series, Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro. The popular manga started in November 2017 and ended in July 2024. The first season of its anime adaptation came out back in June 2021, followed by the second season in January 2023. As fans have been waiting for the return of the show, Nanashi teased a new project he’s working on.
On January 1, 2025, Nanashi wished his fans a Happy New Year on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, thanking fans for all the support they have given him over the years. At the end of the post, he wrote that his goal for 2025 is to start a new series, which excited his fans. The Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro manga came to an end a few months ago, so people were not expecting the author to start working on another series so fast. However, it seems that the mangaka doesn’t want to waste any time before his next manga.
Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro focuses on first-year student Hayase Nagatoro, who loves to torment her senior and art club member Naoto Hachiouji. Naoto is an introverted person who is extremely annoyed with Nagatoro at first, but slowly starts to develop feelings for her. Their love story evolves slowly as more characters appear in the series. The anime, on the other hand, has quite a lot of story to cover yet. You can watch the two seasons of the show on Crunchyroll.

Unfortunately, fans are yet to know what Nanashi’s new series will be about. Some of them are hoping for a sequel to Miss Nagatoro where the two protagonists get engaged and start living together in Tokyo, which would be a more mature take on the high-school romance series. However, it seems that the mangaka wishes to start a completely new series with new characters. Either way, fans of Nanashi’s work are excited for the author’s next work.
