Bocchi has so much unstable charisma that she ends up being a meme. ...again.
Hamazi-sensei had an interview recently in Malaysia I think it was, and she said that she thinks the reason Bocchi got that popular was because of all the viral memes.
I sort of think this is a throwback to Bocchi memes.
Bocchi wasn't that well known before the anime. I dropped the manga years ago and had forgotten completely about it, though that was in part because releases were slow and in part because I found the fan service in the start of the manga distasteful for a band manga. Nerfing the fan service was the right choice, there's a place for everything and fan service in Bocchi was not right.

I think what amazed me is how the anime production and directing staff had kept an eye on Bocchi for such a long time. They knew it had potential, and then gave it the k-on treatment, elevating it beyond its source material.

Imo Bocchi manga holds up way better than K-on manga tho.

Also, what fan service? I just looked through ch1-3 again and didn't see any.

Ice bath scene.
There's a little fan service later when they go to the beach, but at least it's more tasteful.
I don't really like blatant fan service in manga where it doesn't belong.

The anime will give us the Bocchi all alone in the bath scene for sure, just you wait

They replaced her underwear for a school swimsuit in the first episode, don't get your hopes up

Sasaki is a riot, i hope we can see her again. and yes, that wooden sword is too appealing
Imagine a Beck-like lineup with a singer plus a rapper in the band


Also, in regards to bokita, I would bet money that this is the kind of manga that never confirms anything outright yet the author will be liking bokita fanart in their Twitter account
