Bocchi the Rock!

Hitori “Bocchi” Gotou is a lonely, socially anxious high schooler who pours her energy into practicing guitar, hoping it might help her connect with others and someday play live in a band. Her chance arrives when the cheerful drummer Nijika Ijichi pulls her into Kessoku Band after their guitarist, Ikuyo Kita, bolts just before their first show. Not long after, Bocchi also meets the group’s reserved bassist, Ryou Yamada, rounding out the core lineup.

Their early stage experience doesn’t go smoothly, but the shared rush of making music together gives them the confidence to keep going—eventually bringing Kita back into the fold. As Bocchi finds a place where she belongs, the band throws itself into getting better, balancing practice and performance with the fleeting days of high school.
