Rock wa Lady no Tashinami deshite - Vol. 6 Ch. 38

In this (tournament?) arc, this manga is starting to feel like a Class S/yuri bait version of Girls Meets Rock. I mean, in just a couple of chapters, the story's cast has grown several times, and we've gotten some new significant bands and several performances in a row alongside a handful of other more minor side characters.

However, given some of the arcs in the past, Girls Meets Rock still beats that title in terms of actual yuri, although who would have thought, lmao.

Hobby manga/anime are almost always the same arc formulas:
-Training arc, the protag sucks but everyone can see the beast hidden within them.
YOU ARE HERE-Then a rival who takes the hobby too seriously appears to antagonize them.
-Protag loses a very important match, BUT NOT REALLY cause they actually won the "moral highground" cause they had fun doing it, while the rival who won, feels like they are still empty inside.
-Training arc 2, protag unlocks the beast within and curbstomps the rival. Rival now learns to love the hobby and they become besties.
-Random new villain team appears and overpowers everyone.
-Protags train again and win.
-Repeat the above ad nauseum with different new villain teams until the story gets axed or author gets bored.

An old comment of mine, which keeps being relevant.

It's not a hobby manga formula, it's a original battle shonen formula, LMAO. More precisely, its version adapted for spokon shonen works. I'm not sure Toriyama literally invented it, but it's become something of a universal formula thanks to Jump and Dragon Ball. Then other battle shonen, sports and hobby shonens simply developed the idea to suit their own needs.

In this (tournament?) arc

Not exactly a tournament arc? This is the montage sequence where we condense the hero's progress to the next big challenge. Like when Rocky knocks out all the tomato cans in the first act of Rocky III.

I don't know. While this isn't a tournament arc in the strictest sense, we've clearly already get a set of "worthy opponents" with a full complement of thematic tropes within the framework of a major music festival.

One error on page 22, panel 4, "We're" should probably be "We".

Thank you for continuing to bring us this series!

Ooh, thanks! I'll fix it when I'm at my computer next!
Edit: Fixed!

I wondered that before, but....do you think Otoha intentionally chose a top she looks ready to fall out of every time they play?

Wouldn't be surprised if she did. XD

Also, bitter ganache keeps coming back for another spanking, uh.

They just can't get the feeling of Tina's titanic titties out of their mind, so they get drawn back by the gravity.

Oh no, someone that knows her past

Oh shit, The Final Countdown mentioned in the big 2026.

I'm more of Seven Doors Hotel and Stormwind fan myself (oh my God their Stormwind's live intro is so heavenly) but TFC is pretty good too.
