Uzaki-chan wa Asobita! (Uzaki-chan Wants to Play!) is a Japanese manga that features a young woman named Uzaki. Baka-Updates describes the manga this way: "The daily life of a quiet college student who just wants to be left alone, being teased by his cute, stacked underclassman."
The Japanese Red Cross featured Uzaki in a recent blood drive poster. In the poster Uzaki is saying "Senpai, you've never donated blood? Is it maybe because you are scared of needles?"
A westerner saw the poster and complained about it on Twitter, then a Japanese person translated the tweet into Japanese, resulted in a heated conversation in the Twitterverse.
I the video below, That Japanese Man Yuta does a good job describing the reactions:
日本赤十字社 が「宇崎ちゃんは遊びたい」×献血コラボキャンペーンということでこういうポスターを貼ってるようですが、本当に無神経だと思います。なんであえてこういうイラストなのか、もう麻痺してるんでしょうけど公共空間で環境型セクハラしてるようなものですよhttps://t.co/KV5g0W8JpK https://t.co/43EpSlzHOp
