A new controversy has emerged in the anime, aiming to denigrate the design of the character Hana Uzaki from the new anime Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!.According to information published in the comments of a Japanese forum, the hate campaign has had a major impact, starting on Twitter, especially at the time of writing this article.
The post that sparked the most interest in the forum in this regard originated on Twitter, where a user posted an image of the character Abby from the recent game The Last Of Us 2, delivering a blow to Uzaki.
Several messages were shared saying:
The controversy surrounding Uzaki-chan spread worldwide, and the series began to be attacked by feminist groups and other associated groups. A character from "The Last of Us Part II" was immediately drawn hitting Uzaki. Comments posted by these groups included: "When I saw her (Uzaki-chan) on TV, I wanted to do that" and "She doesn't deserve to live." ”.

Therefore, another post from the group mentions that the “average incel” (an expression meaning “involuntarily celibate” which they use to denigrate people who, in their opinion, cannot have sex because of their physique or personality) fervently approve of Uzaki-chan's design, but they considered Abby Anderson's in The Last Of Us 2 unrealistic. In some replies to her post, the girl clarified that “I am short in stature, with large breasts, and this embarrasses women with this body type.”.

"Second Chapter of Uzaki-chan against Western Social Justice, since it's the home of such people. There are almost 200,000 people furious with this character, just in this tweet, and they've labeled anyone who defends him as an 'Incel'."
宇崎ちゃん第二章 vs欧米ポリコレ社会正義戦士(Social justice warrior)編、流石にぶっ壊れた正義の味方の本場なだけあって、このキャラはインセルの象徴とか怒ってるのが20万人はいるみたいで「これまでの連中はただの雑魚」「魔界死闘編」みたいな巨大なスケールになっていた(作者様に心底同情する https://t.co/7Q0gj9jSEE

The likely start of the Uzaki-chan controversy:
However, it's worth noting that the controversy sparked various opinions among the Japanese at the beginning of the month. Therefore, the Red Cross Japanese decided to collaborate with the manga by publishing the image below of Hana Uzaki.
A Western profile posted that the image was pure sexual harassment. Because it was a noble campaign.
The illustration used in the blood drive was the cover art for the volume Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out, which went on sale in July 2019.

Finally, the controversy surrounding the character is likely to continue in the remaining episodes, and it's very probable that it will extend to other series.
