Bocchi the Rock! - Ch. 85

[SuperOniichan]

It seems the author is leaning into full comedy while advancing the story to avoid big character changes.

I'm not hoping a seinen but at least a bit more introspection into the girls.

People for different reasons tend to forget that Bocchi The Rock is CGDCT manga in the first place. Its normally focused on the comedy or archetypes and gymmicks of its characters for it. But I would also not agree that the characters are not developing and not explored. We literally had an arc about the significance of the personal development of Bocchi a couple of chapters ago.

We've got plenty of arcs with character growth and quite significant shifts forward. Plus Hamazi is always show us the less romantic side of showbiz albeit through comedy.

I'd say it's way way way more than anyone could expect from a moe manga.

It would never have become so popular and critically appreciated if it were just generic moe manga. But people seem to forget that this is still a comedic story about All-Female rock band. However, I write this in the year when Bandori tried to turn their new anime into a psychological thriller without any irony...
