2024’s two-part Bocchi the Rock! compilation movie has received another eye-catching teaser visual. The new visual, once again illustrated by character designer Kerorira, features the bassist of Kessoku Band, Ryo Yamada.
The first part, Bocchi the Rock! Re:, is set to premiere in Spring 2024. Part 2, titled Bocchi the Rock! Re:Re:, will follow in the summer.
The Bocchi the Rock! anime series premiered in October 2022 and ended with 12 episodes. The show follows the anxiety-ridden Hitori “Bocchi” Gotoh, who becomes a skilled guitar player but remains socially awkward. Her life starts to change when she is invited to join a band led by the cheerful Nijika Ichiji.
Bocchi the Rock! is based on the Houbunsha-published 4-koma manga by Aki Hamaji, which is serialized in Manga Time Kirara MAX. The manga began in 2018 and has six tankoubon volumes as of August 2023. A spin-off about the alchoholic supporting character Kikuri Hiroi began serialization in July 2023. Yen Press recently started publishing the main series in English.
