Bocchi the Rock Vol. 03

Things are finally starting to look serious for Hitori “Bocchi” Gotoh as Kessoku Band sets their sights on participating in the Unidentified Riot teen music festival! Now’s the time the group to band together and focus on getting their name out there, but when faced with new venues and new faces, can Bocchi settle her nerves long enough to come out on top?

This fun high school comedy features a shy and anxious protagonist who just wants to make friends, similar to the popular manga and anime series Komi Can’t Communicate.
