よろしくね

意味

A casual way to say 'nice to meet you,' 'let's get along,' or 'I'm counting on you' — the friendly version of よろしくお願いします.

よろしくね strips the formal よろしくお願いします down to its casual core and adds the softening particle ね. It is used when meeting new people in casual settings, joining a group of friends, or asking someone for a small favour. The ね makes it warm and approachable. It can mean anything from 'pleased to meet you' to 'I'm counting on you' depending on context.
