r/nagatoro

I know, it's a July now, but here's a script for an idea I got yesterday (I'm bad at writing scripts now and sorry for any grammar mistakes)

Chapter X: It's terrible to play with others feeling, Senpai

*Naoto is walking down the school hallway*

Naoto(himself): "Ahhh, classes are finally over and I can get to drawing, at last! It was quite a harsh day today."

*Naoto notices two girls walking by in costumes, chatting about something*

Naoto(himself): "Oh yeah, it's 31th of October today, Halloween. Eh, too bad I don't celebrate it. Though, I could do something in this theme, maybe pumpkins?"

*We are thrown to the art class. Naoto is drawing, as always*

Naoto(himself): "Hmm...Nagatoro still didn't come still, even though it's already pretty late."

...

Naoto(himself): "She's probably hanging out with her friends or eating some sweets, it's Halloween after all."

*"Woooshh" door to the art class was opened*

Nagatoro: "Senpaaaii~" <- she's dizzy, not flirting

Naoto: "Oh, it's you Naga- AGhhhh!"

*Nagatoro is staying in a doorway, with one arm holding her stomach. Her legs are bent and she's sweating alot. Naoto jumps out of his seat and rushes to Nagatoro*

Naoto: "O-oh my god! Nagatoro, a-are you feeling alright? W-what happened?"

Nagatoro: "S-senpai *cough* I don't feel...aghhh, so well..."

*As Nagatoro says that, she falls to her knees, doubled from the pain. She covers her face with her hands*

Naoto(himself): "Oh no no no, this is bad. She doesn't look like she would play it. I need to do something"

Naoto: "Come on, Nagatoro, stand up. L-lets bring you t-to the nurse room, s-she will give you there s-some medicine. M-maybe try to remember, w-what you have eaten today."

Nagatoro: "Senpai, *says, as she stands up* the only and best medicine I could get now..."

Nagatoro: "...IS YOUR BLOOD!"

*Nagatoro grabs Naoto by shoulders, her face is distorted with a big wide-open smile. In her mouth, there's two big fangs with a drips of blood on them. Her face is also covered in blood and the eyes are now black, when pupils are bright red*

Naoto: "GYAAAAAAHH!!!"

*Naoto screams as loud as he can. When, he falls to the ground lifeless*

Nagatoro: "AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Senpai you're really not so hard to scare! Even a child wouldn't be so scared as you."

*But Naoto is still laying down on the floor*

...

Nagatoro: "Ok, Senpai, you got me! Haha, see? The joke was funny, now get up!"

*No answer. Nagatoro comes closer to Senpai, bends over his mouth, trying to hear his breathing. No sound*

Nagatoro(herself): "No! No no no, did I really scared him that much, that he passed away? No, this must be a prank!"

Nagatoro: "O-ok, Senpai, i-it was a pretty nice joke, I-i told you, you got me, just please wake up already!"

...

Nagatoro: "Please...I didn't m-mean to do this...I...I'm so sorry...*sob*"

*As tears starts to form on her eyelashes, door to the storage room slightly opens and a bright flashlight comes out from it. Nagatoro notices it*

Naoto: "AGGHHHHHHHH!"

Nagatoro: "GYAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!"

*Senpai starts to heavily breathing and coughing out, girls come out from the storage room*

Gamo: "HAHA! We got her girls, high five!"

Nagatoro: "...What?"

*We cut to Nagatoros shot on the same angle, but now, her face changed to her iconic (| |)_(| |) face*

Nagatoro: "So you worked undercover all together to trick me?"

Gamo: "Yep! Something in this world told me, that you would play something like this on paisen, soooo we decided to plan this all, while you wasn't here."

*Nagatoro turns her head to Yoshi, while she (Yoshi) munching on snacks*

Yoshi: "Ehh?"

*Nagatoro drills Yoshi with her stair, as a memory, where Nagatoro tells Yoshi about her plan, floats behind Toro*

Yoshi: "I-i-i definitely didn't say anything about plan to girls...yeah..."

*As Gamo starts to chat with Sakura about flashlight on camera, Nagatoro changes her attention to senpai, who's drawing...as always*

Nagatoro: "Senpai..."

Naoto: "Mhm?"

Nagatoro: "It's terrible to play with others feeling, Senpai..."

*Naoto peaks up his glasses and looks away with a little blush under his eyes*

Naoto: "W-well...didn't you do the same to me"

Nagatoro: "It was only a joke..."

Naoto: "Well..."

Nagatoro: "Playing dead and scaring someone with it is not a joke already...it's creepy..."

...

Nagatoro: "Well, I'll be much more suspicious next time you'll try to do something like this, so it was your first and last time you could trick me, Senpai, be proud of it! Aha-ahahahaha!"

End of Chapter X, see y'all in Chapter 2X

If there's something you want me to improve on, let me know in comments, will be pretty thankful! And PLEASE MODS DON'T DELETE THIS POST, I WORKED ON IT SO HARD!

​Authors note:

Little idea I was playing with. Tell me your thoughts see where this goes. Gonna be more a light hearted humorous story if it goes further.

​

​"Give that back!" Naoto said, running after Nagatoro.

​"Nope! I'm keeping it!" she said, holding a notepad Naoto had been using to draw pictures of her.

​Naoto's eyes went wide. "Wait, Nagatoro, stop!"

​Nagatoro giggled. "Why should I—"

​Suddenly, Nagatoro slammed into a bookshelf, hitting her head hard.

​Naoto rushed to her side. "Nagatoro, wake up, please..."

​Panicking, Naoto carried her to the infirmary and waited anxiously by her bedside. She didn't seem to have a visible injury, but he knew he had to be careful. He wondered for a moment if this was his fault, but his mind kept returning to the fact that she was the one who took his notepad and ran.

​"Senpai..."

​Naoto jumped. The voice sounded foreign—small and soft, completely unlike the Nagatoro he knew.

​"N-Nagatoro?!"

​She rubbed her eyes and looked up at him. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost..." she said, her voice retaining that unusual softness.

​"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to wake up so soon."

​"Wake up?" Nagatoro asked, finally taking in her surroundings.

​"You hit your head, so I took you to the infirmary..." Naoto explained cautiously. He braced himself, sure she was about to make some teasing comment about him violating her while she was unconscious.

​Instead, Nagatoro smiled appreciatively. "Thank you... You're always so kind, Senpai."

​Naoto flinched a little. This was getting really strange; she hadn't teased him at all. He gulped nervously. "So... I should probably get back to the club room. You should rest."

​Nagatoro frowned. "You don't want me to come with you, Senpai?" Her voice was still small, and she sounded genuinely disappointed.

​Naoto blushed furiously. "What? No! You can come, I just figured you wanted to rest."

​Nagatoro's smile returned. "Thank you for your concern. Why don't we hang out, though?"

​Naoto nodded. "Okay, sure."

​As they walked out, Nagatoro seemed physically fine and wasn't off-balance. She simply walked beside him with her hands clasped behind her back, quietly following his lead. Naoto had never seen her so silent. She was definitely acting off.

​When they arrived at the club room, Nagatoro walked straight up to the piece he was working on. "Wow, Senpai, you're so talented... This looks amazing."

​Naoto blushed a deep shade of red. "Uh, oh, thanks," he stammered, still fully expecting the punchline of a joke.

​Instead, Nagatoro just giggled. "You're so cute, Senpai, when you get flustered."

​Naoto felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. "W-what... did you say?"

​Nagatoro instantly covered her face, blushing brightly. "Oh, forget I said anything, Senpai..."

​Naoto was at a complete loss. Was she... embarrassed?

​"Nagatoro, you've been acting strange," Naoto said, thoroughly confused.

​Nagatoro glanced up at him timidly. "Different how? Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry..."

​Naoto could barely handle this. Okay, he didn't exactly hate it, but it was just so incredibly strange. "N-no, not at all... I just—forget I said anything."

​Nagatoro looked slightly relieved.

​"S-so, Senpai..." Nagatoro looked nervous, clasping her hands tightly together. She stared down at her feet, her face turning a deep crimson. "I was w-wondering... if you aren't busy, do you wanna..." She paused and gulped. "...play video games at my place again?"

​Naoto went pale

Genuinely, with the talent pool here, I don't think it'd be the worst thing in the world if we committed to it. But what do you guys think? Is this dope, or is this cope?

I really don't understand why it's so hard for us to get a third season. I've seen some people say that it's impossible since the manga has ended, and that a third season would only be possible if the mangaka made a sequel or something like that.

But is that really true? Do all anime work like that?

It just doesn't make sense to me how such a great anime like Nagatoro can't get a third season, while other anime that are much worse (like Rent a Girlfriend) have already finished their fifth season and are already producing a sixth. How is that possible?

Disclaimer: Just to be clear, I am NOT an industry insider. This is just my own market analysis based on official release dates, so I could be wrong.

Just wanted to share some actual data regarding the future of Nagatoro, since the Anime Expo hype is currently blinding everyone.

Crunchyroll Germany has officially scheduled the release of "Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro – Staffel 2 (Komplettbox)" on Blu-ray for this July.

From a business perspective, this is a very strong signal. High-end physical box sets require significant upfront investment for licensing, manufacturing, and local dubbing. Publishers don't clear out and print physical merchandise for dead or abandoned IPs. The fact that Crunchyroll is pushing this right now proves that the franchise remains highly profitable and active on the corporate side.

With Kodansha House opening its doors in LA this week and AX running its panels, timing this release with the event makes perfect sense. They are keeping the franchise relevant in the market. Don't let the lack of instant day-one announcements fool you. The production committee is clearly still backing the IP. Expecting a Season 3 teaser or announcement closer to the weekend.

Disclaimer 2: Once again, this is purely my own perspective and logical guesswork. Do not treat any of this as an official leak or confirmed facts.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask; I will do my best to answer them.
