Nearly six years have passed since the broadcast of "Masamune-kun's Revenge," and it will finally return as a new series in spring 2023. Since so many years have passed since the previous series, many people probably never thought that a sequel would be broadcast. The previous series ended without a conclusion, so this is very good news for those who were hoping to see the continuation in anime. By the way, do you know the author, illustrator, and scriptwriter of this work? The same people will be in charge of the new series as the previous work. In this article, we would like to introduce the people involved in this work!
Introduction: What kind of story is it?
Eight years ago, Masamune Hayase, who was a fat and bullied child, planned to take revenge on Aki Adagaki, a young lady who dumped him and nicknamed him "pig's foot". He lost a lot of weight through dieting and strength training and became a handsome man, even changing his surname to his grandfather's and returning to his hometown under the name of Masamune Makabe. Masamune, who has become a completely different person from before, often carries out a "dead or love strategy" of making Aki fall in love with him and then dumping her in the best way possible. However, Aki's attendant, Yoshino Koiwai, finds out about his past. It seemed like the plan would fail, but she agreed to help him get revenge on Aki. What will be the outcome of this revenge!?
Original author: Hazuki Takeoka
The original author of "Masamune-kun's Revenge" is Hazuki Takeoka. Born in Tokyo in 1979, she made her debut with Cobalt Bunko after winning an honorable mention in the Novel Grand Prize in 1999. "Masamune-kun's Revenge" is the first of Takeoka's works to be made into an anime. The image is Takeoka's Twitter icon, and the work is titled "Dog-Kai-chan and Cat-Kai-Sensei." It is a work that is soothing to the characters and animals, so if you are interested, why not give it a read?
Illustrator: Tiv
The person in charge of the illustrations is Tiv. He is a manga artist from Korea living in Japan, and also an illustrator. He works in collaboration with Hazuki Takeoka, who is in charge of the original work. When you think of a manga author, you might imagine that they are both the original author and the illustrator, but there are many works in which the original author and the illustrator are shared. It's good to be able to create a work that makes use of each person's area of expertise. Tiv is from Seoul, Korea, and has been active as a freelance illustrator since 2005. He has provided illustrations for famous games and anime, including the design of Hotaru Yura in "Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story" and the illustrations for the end cards of "Is the Order a Rabbit? ?".
Scriptwriter: Kento Shimoyama
The scriptwriter is Kento Shimoyama. His age is not disclosed, but in an interview he described himself as a "Dragon Ball generation." Considering that, he may be around 40 years old now. He has written scripts for many famous works, and his first was "Nintama Rantaro." He was also in charge of "Sergeant Keroro," "Gintama," and "BLEACH." These are all famous anime that everyone has heard of at least once. Apparently, he was the youngest of the scriptwriters at the time of "Gintama". He is also famous as a train fan, and often reflects his knowledge of trains in his anime.
Summary of the original story, illustrator, and scriptwriter
