The series began in 2017 by creator Aki Hamaji. Bocchi the Rock! is Hamaji’s first solo project, having only been published before in several anthology manga alongside other creators. You can read a summary of the series from MyAnimeList below.
Hitori Gotou is a high school girl who’s starting to learn to play the guitar because she dreams of being in a band, but she’s so shy that she hasn’t made a single friend. However, her dream might come true after she meets Nijika Ijichi, a girl who plays drums and is looking for a new guitarist for her band.
The series is the latest project from studio CloverWorks, whose past titles include The Promised Neverland, Wonder Egg Priority, Shadows House, and more.
