The skies of Tonosho, a town on the island of Shodoshima off Shikoku, will soon be lit up by the light of fireworks and engulfed by the atmosphere of a Japanese festival. For the first time in three years, the Shodoshima Festival is returning to the island, and to celebrate, the cast and theme song artist of the Teasing Master Takagi-san anime will be there to join in on the festivities.

The 40th Shodoshima Festival is scheduled to occur in Tonosho on August 7. The first season of the KARAKAI JOZU NO TAKAGI-SAN anime adaptation premiered in 2018 and was simulcast on Crunchyroll. The anime was followed by an OVA in the same year. The second season of the anime was acquired and streamed by Netflix in 2019, with the third picked up by Hi-DIVE in 2022. The film opened in Japan on June 10. The manga is published in English by Yen Press under the title Teasing Master Takagi-san. Crunchyroll describes the series as such:

 

"I swear I'm going to tease and embarrass Takagi-san today!" Nishikata, a middle-schooler, keeps getting teased by the girl who sits next to him in class, Takagi-san. He tries every day to get back at her, but will he ever succeed? Takagi-san and Nishikata's youthful teasing battle starts now!
