Breaking: "Bocchi the Rock" Crosses "Chainsaw Man" on Myanimelist.

“Bocchi the Rock!” was a surprise hit during the Fall 2022 anime season. Initially following a reasonably typical formula, the show gained a devoted following after a few episodes. Despite being a slice-of-life genre series, it outperformed some major anime titles in terms of ratings. The original manga, a 4-Koma-style comic, presented a challenge for the anime adaptation team due to its minimal context and character design details. However, they rose to the occasion and delivered a beautifully realized and faithful adaptation for fans to enjoy.

Enough Manga Chapters for Season 2

The twelfth episode of “Bocchi the Rock!” covers material up through chapter 20 of the manga, and with the series having more than 50 chapters available in Japanese (It is not yet serialized in English), there is plenty of source material for a second season of the anime. The manga is still ongoing.

Will there be a Sequel for Bocchi the Rock?

Although a second season of “Bocchi the Rock” has not yet been officially confirmed, it seems likely that we will see more of the beloved show in the form of season 2.
