Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out began as a manga by Take, first published in 2017, before becoming an anime series in 2020. It follows college student Shinichi Sakurai and Hana Uzaki, a cheerful junior who constantly teases him and tries to pull him into her plans. Short clips of Hana's voice became popular in anime edits, reaction videos and soundboards because her playful personality is easy to recognise. Fans continue to use them for teasing moments, light-hearted jokes and anime compilations across YouTube and TikTok.
