Where does the “K-On!” meme come from?

The original manga, created by Kakifly, begins in the magazine *Manga Time Kirara* in May 2007. It follows four high school students at Sakuragaoka High School who found a light music club after the jazz club disbanded. The animated adaptation, produced by Kyoto Animation, aired in Japan from April to June 2009. This production strongly contributed to popularizing and defining the visual and narrative aesthetics of the 'moe' anime. The work built a huge fan community, both in Japan and internationally, becoming a major cultural reference for this musical slice-of-life genre.
