It's a good thing this won't be a problem at all once Bokita graduate, unlike the prideful Ryo and Nijika Bocchi is completely incapable to live by herself so they'll just move together. Though I think the only reason Ryo didn't do it this time it's because Seika is still where Nijika is.

This might actually be the first time I've seen a high-school character graduate and start attending college, excluding epilogues.
Also the first time I've seen one graduate and become a deadbeat moocher.
Honestly, yeah. Under the humor and exaggeration, the author isn't afraid to show that the band has made sacrifices (and/or poor choices) in pursuit of their dream and not everything magically works out for the best.

Well, this is clearly not the first time, but otherwise most manga and LN end at school, because the Japanese demarcate the stages of age very clearly. And if children and teenagers can have fun and play with their lives as they want, then adult life for the Japanese is like a separate reality. You can see the same logic in the idol career, where everyone over 25 "graduates" and can no longer be an idol.

Well, I also see a lot of people who say that Bocchi's manga is much weaker or even worse than the masterpiece anime. True, they mostly don’t really realize that this is not so much a compliment to the anime as a belittlement of the original.
i would argue this the first season of the Bocchi anime is better than the manga due to two factors.
first the quality of the manga as the base is a quality multiplier. the anime wouldn't be as good if the manga wasn't so great. second is because the efficiency of the director and people working on it taking the material of the manga and expanding on the jokes with animation as well as the addition of the music.

the first point means that its not a belittlement because a caveat many people put in (who have read the manga) is that the anime is better than the manga not because the manga isn't good but because the anime takes the high quality of the manga and through adaption applies the strengths of the anime medium to add to and bring out further the quality of the manga its adapting.

the anime stands as a testament to the quality of it's foundation.

You again confuse the general quality of writing or story and the obvious difference in formats. It’s like one dude told me that the anime is better, because there was no animation and music in the manga, LMAO.

you confuse ME. of course music and animation are some of the things that made it better than the manga however without the manga's quality writing and story the anime wouldn't be as good. the manga makes up the backbone of the adaption.
animation and music alone do not make an amazing anime adaption. manga as a medium has its limits yes, but the writing and characters are what gives it substance.

Yes, but the conversation was not about it.
