【Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! ω】Review of Season 1
We've looked back on the contents of Season 1 of Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! and introduced it here! It was a very easy-to-watch and funny anime with gags and romantic comedy about an annoying but cute junior. There were some original episodes that were different from the original work, and some parts that weren't in the original work, but they were all good. Based on the content of Season 1, I think Season 2 is an anime that we can look forward to very much!
