Bocchi the Rock!, Vol. 1

Bocchi finally takes the stage in English, and she-s brought her best friend-crippling anxiety! Hitori Goto just wants to make friends, but the thought of approaching a stranger on her own makes her so nervous that she-s spent the entirety of middle school teaching herself how to shred on the guitar-to moderately successful (albeit anonymous) YouTube fame-in the hopes of seeming cool enough for someone else to reach out to her instead. After bringing her guitar to school provokes zero interest, Hitori-s just about ready to shrivel up and die...which is when Nijika Ijichi comes across her moping in a playground and begs her to fill in for her band-s flakey guitarist for their first-ever live performance! It-s like her wish came true-but does this most antisocial of introverts have what it takes to perform in front of real people?!
