The spring 2021 anime adaptation of the Don’t Mess With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga proved pretty popular as we saw it get both a simulcast and a simuldub. A second season was announced in October 2021 and that season, known as Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagataro 2nd Attack, saw its overseas pickup through Crunchyroll with a January 7th, 2023 premiere.
Some new details have come in on the property with the regular rollout of sales information and distribution in Japan and now it’s been revealed that the property has five million copies in circulation. They don’t report on final sales itself but rather the number of copies available in both print and digital form in circulation, making this a pretty popular title.
