The Bocchi the Rock! TV anime aired in October 2022 and concluded with 12 episodes later that year in December. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime series worldwide, outside of Japan, and is also releasing the compilation films in North America. 

Hamaji’s original 4-koma manga series began serialization in Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara MAX on March 19, 2018 after appearing as a guest work on December 19, 2017. Six tankobon volumes have been released as of August 2023. A spin-off about the supporting character Kikuri Hiroi began serialization in the Comic Fuz website in July 2023.

 Yen Press releases the main manga series in English, describing the synopsis of the first volume as: 

Hitori Gotoh just wants to be popular, but the thought of interacting with her classmates makes her fall to pieces. Her solution-become a rock legend so cool that people approach her instead! However, while spending all of middle school in her closet shredding on the guitar may have earned her anonymous internet fame, it did nothing for her social skills. Now a high schooler, Hitori’s feeling ready to shrivel up and die-when she gets a sudden request to fill in for a band! It’s like her wish came true-but does this most anxious of introverts have what it takes to perform in front of a live audience?!
