Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!

Hana Uzaki begins her first year of college by running into Shinichi Sakurai, an older student she knew from the same high school club. To her disbelief, the once energetic upperclassman now keeps to himself, happiest when he can spend his free time in quiet solitude.

Determined not to let him stay “alone,” Uzaki barges into Sakurai’s routine at every opportunity—dragging him to outings like the movies and even showing up at his part-time job. Sakurai may grumble at her relentless cheer and constant interruptions, but he still ends up going along, and their back-and-forth soon leads to a steady stream of awkwardly funny moments. As they spend more time together, their bond gradually deepens, and onlookers start to assume they’re already a couple.
