Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! also suspended

A press release reported that the manga written and illustrated by Take, "Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! (Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!)", will not have a new chapter this month and will be suspended indefinitely due to a decline in the author's health. According to the statement, author Take was diagnosed with COVID-19 last month.

For his part, the author pointed out that he continues to suffer from sequelae after contracting the disease and added that, although he is physically recovered, he does not have the energy to draw. Take further explained that although he still draws every day, his illustrations are "weak" and he is very anxious and worried about when he will be able to draw manga again like before. Take says he doesn't think he can continue drawing manga at the current rate.

For his part, Take began publishing the manga through Niconico Seiga's Dra Dra Sharp service since December 2017, while the Fujimi Shobo publisher has been publishing his compilation volumes. The work inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation produced by ENGI studios and released in Summer-2020 (July-September), followed by a second season released in Fall-2022 (October-December).

Synopsis of Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

At the beginning of her freshman year in college, Hana Uzaki meets Shinichi Sakurai, a senior who was in the same club as her during her high school days. However, to his surprise, the once-active senior has ended up becoming a "loner" student, preferring to spend his free time in peace and quiet. Uzaki does everything he can to prevent Sakurai from being "alone," from convincing him to go to the movies to his part-time workplace.

While Sakurai finds her irritating and tedious, he goes along with Uzaki's antics and antics, even if he knows that her cheerful personality will only lead the two of them into various comedic situations. Even so, as the days go by, their relationship only improves, to the point where the people around them misinterpret them as a couple. In any case, whenever Uzaki wants to hang out with his senior, he's sure to be followed by a fun and adorable madness!
