While Bocchi The Rock Season 2 is still up in the air, the Bocchi The Rock anime series gained quite a fan following thanks to CloverWorks.

The upcoming musical live event is slated to take place on May 21st next month in Japan, with the website of the series dropping new details for Bocchi’s unique comeback.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out the musical anime, the first season of Bocchi The Rock can be streamed on Crunchyroll. Here is how the streaming service describes the series, “Hitori Gotoh, ‘Bocchi-chan,’ is a girl who’s so introverted and shy around people that she’d always start her conversations with ‘Ah…’ During her middle school years, she started playing the guitar, wanting to join a band because she thought it could be an opportunity for even someone shy like her to also shine. But because she had no friends, she ended up practicing guitar for six hours every day all by herself.”
