''Hinako Note'' is a Japanese manga by Mitsuki, and it received an anime adaption by Passione in April 2017, and the anime can be watched on Website/{{Crunchyroll}}.

Hinako Sakuragi is a painfully shy girl who moves from the countryside to Tokyo, inspired by a theater performance she saw, and she hopes to join a theater club to help learn how to speak better. Despite her habit of freezing up like a scarecrow when faced with new situations, she manages to make new friends and come out of her shell a little at a time.
