Uzaki-Chan volume 2 adds a new character to the mix

Shinichi Sakurai

A good guy, but completely clueless when it comes to love and romance. Cares deeply about Hana, but is reluctant to admit it, even to himself.

Hana Uzaki

A girl who has both huge boobs (the physical book even embosses them on the cover) and a huge personality. Hana is incredibly outgoing, but also surprisingly bashful, especially when Shinichi is involved.

Itsuhito Sakaki The new addition. Itsuhito is Shinichi’s only guy friend. He’s good-looking and outgoing and is very popular with girls. Ami Asai Shinichi’s co-worker who is determined to watch the love between Sakurai and Hana bloom.

The plot thickens

Uzaki-Chan Wants to Hang Out is a slice-of-life manga that revolves around college life. The early stories see Shinichi and Hana spending time together in class, on the quad, and playing video games together on what appear to be Nintendo Switches. Both of them are hardcore gamers; they play together a lot, and we learn later on that Hana is often the better player of the two.

The manga covers everyday stuff but taken to the comedic extreme. At one point, Hana makes a passionate speech about the merits of mint chocolate. Nothing romantic happens until summer rolls around, and Hana learns that Shinichi has no plans to go outside. She immediately gives him a bold invitation.

Hana invites Shinichi to the beach. Now, things are getting interesting. Two good-looking college students, alone together on the beach, where physical attraction becomes far more difficult to ignore. That’s the perfect recipe to get the sparks of romance flying, right?
