Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!

Hana Uzaki is thrilled to discover that she is attending the same college as her fellow high school upperclassman, Shinichi Sakurai. However, after a year of watching him just laze around, she comes to the conclusion that he has turned into a loner. Uzaki decides to spend as much time with Shinichi as possible to try to get him to come out of his shell and make some friends. Uzaki-chan is an ongoing manga with 2 anime seasons.

Uzaki-chan’s locations are mostly near Tohoku University, Katahira Campus in Sendai and in Tottori. The indoor waterpark is called Hakone Kowaiken Yunessun. The design of Episode 10, “Uzaki-chan Wants to Play in Tottori!” was actually rooted in a collaboration between the series and the Misasa Onsen Tourism Association. The collaboration involved a stamp rally, special merchandise and menu items, standees in the onsen, and an exhibition at the Kurayoshi Figure Museum.
