Today marks the end of Soichiro Yamamoto’s Teasing Master Takagi-san manga, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t more in the works. As revealed in the November issue of Shogakukan’s Monthly Shonen Sunday magazine, the series is inspiring a new spinoff manga titled Karakai Jozu no Nishikata-san, or Teasing Master Nishikata-san. Fans won’t have to wait long for this one, because the spinoff is scheduled to debut in the next issue of the magazine in November.
The story is set after the events of the main series and follows Nishikata and Takagi’s middle school daughter Chi, who shares mutual teasing with a boy who sits next to her in class. This manga is being handled by Mifumi Inaba, who also illustrates the Karakai Jozu no (Moto) Takagi-san sequel/spinoff manga.
そして、次号 ゲッサン 12月号より『からかい上手の(元)高木さん』の稲葉光史先生による新連載『からかい上手(?)の西片さん』が始まります。

As for Takagi-san creator Yamamoto, planning is underway for their next manga.
Yen Press published the Teasing Master Takagi-san manga in English and launched volume 17 earlier this year. Here’s the official synopsis:
Middle schooler Nishikata has had it with his classmate who sits nearby, Takagi. Day in and day out, she comes after him with every sort of trick or prank. Even when he tries to tease her back, she’s always one step ahead but he’s not about to give up that easily in this battle of cunning and youth!
