よろしく

expression, adverb

well; properly; suitably

Adverbial use meaning that something is done suitably or in a satisfactory way. Often appears in set or business-like expressions such as よろしくやる and よろしく処理する, and can sound vague depending on context.

  He is getting along well even at his new posting.

• 細こまかい点てんは、状じょう況きょうに応おうじてよろしく処しょ理りしてください。

  Please handle the details appropriately according to the situation.

expression, adverb

please treat me favorably; please take care of it; best regards

Very common formula used in greetings, requests, entrusting something to someone, and sending regards. Politeness depends heavily on what follows: よろしくお願いします is polite, while よろしく or よろしく頼む is more casual.

expression, adverb

just like ...; as if one were ...

Pattern use after a noun or noun-like phrase, as in 役者よろしく, meaning that someone acts like or in the manner of that thing. This is more written, stylized, or expressive than everyday のように.

  He bowed dramatically, just like an actor.

by all means; of course

Old-fashioned set pattern よろしく…べし, meaning that something should certainly or properly be done. It is mainly encountered in archaic, literary, or intentionally old-style writing rather than ordinary conversation.
