Yeah, it’s okay. The handling of Bocchi’s anxiety is still often more cringe than comedy, but it occasionally works. The early visual of her being reanimated by having bottles of spring water jammed into every possibly opening is pretty brilliant.

There’s a truly fantastic panel where she thinks she’s going to be arrested for fraudulent boasting that has amazing composition that lets the joke land perfectly at the end. Unfortunately, a lot of the rest just sort of putter out than land with a strong laugh, which hurts the gag aspect.

We get some new characters introduced, but only the insanely hyperactive and cheerful Oyama appears to be sticking around in terms of subsequent page time. She’s basically loud. Honestly, Kita fills most of that role already so I don’t think she adds a ton. I did like that both Bocchi and Ryou nope out of spending time with her though.

Bocchi has good jokes. It does. My problem the last couple volumes has been that it doesn’t have enough of them. 4-koma is not a great way to tell a serialized story and it says a lot that the bonus manga at the end, written in the normal style, leaves more of an impact.

That last story tells the origin of Starry, the club that the band plays and works at, and how Seika wound up taking care of her sister, Nijika. It goes a lot more dramatic than this series traditionally does, but it works well as a tale of regret, even if the big moment is pretty signposted.

As usual, if you liked it before, you’ll like it now. It’s a good enough time, but nothing special either.

Pretty funny to see the introverts Ryou and Bocchi have to deal with the loud and extroverted new hires at Starry club, while the band now with a label prepare for the difficulties of recording their first mini-album. It was also sweet to see Bocchi hang out with Nijika and her sister Seika at their place for a sleepover. I can relate to being to competitive at video games lol. Seika helping her sister overcome her recording struggles and the side story were too adorable! Even teared up a little, probably my favourite volume so far.

This one got a few good laughs out of me, but not a ton. What really upped my score was the last chapter dealing with Nijika and Seika. It got me to cry which was nice. However, I now know why they don’t have a mom, but what’s their dad doing now? Has he passed away yet? I guess a 12 year age gap is enough for Seika to be taking care of Nijika if that’s chill with their dad.

This was the best volume so far by a landslide. That final bonus chapter tore my heart out.

Konnichiwa a todas, lectoras🌸

Hoy os traigo la reseña del cuarto volumen de Bocchi the Rock!.

📀Este volumen muestra a Kessoku Band dando un nuevo paso hacia la profesionalización. El grupo comprende que crecer como banda implica asumir responsabilidades, crear contenido y buscar formas de conectar con el público más allá del escenario.

📀La serie retrata con acierto cómo el progreso depende tanto del esfuerzo como de factores externos. La suerte de recibir atención, el apoyo de sus seres queridos y las oportunidades que aparecen en el momento adecuado resultan decisivos para seguir avanzando en una industria tan competitiva.

📀Bocchi protagoniza algunos de los momentos más memorables del tomo al dar un paso al frente y sostener a la banda durante el concierto. Su evolución ya no consiste solo en superar la timidez, sino en convertirse en un apoyo fundamental para sus compañeras.

📀La aparición de una discográfica interesada en aprovechar la popularidad del canal de Bocchi refleja una realidad muy actual: la industria busca minimizar riesgos y valora enormemente las comunidades que los artistas construyen en internet. Del mismo modo, detalles como la preocupación por un nombre difícil de recordar muestran el deseo sincero de la banda de acercarse a su público.

📀Quizá el único aspecto que me ha resultado menos convincente es el tono optimista con el que se afrontan las dificultades. En la realidad, muchas bandas terminan disolviéndose por las exigencias de la vida adulta o la falta de éxito; sin embargo, el manga prefiere centrarse en la esperanza y el disfrute de hacer música, una elección coherente con su espíritu juvenil.

🌸Conclusión: Un volumen que celebra el crecimiento de Kessoku Band y recuerda que el camino hacia el reconocimiento se construye con talento, esfuerzo, apoyo y un poco de fortuna, sin perder nunca la alegría de compartir la música con los demás.

Valoración: 4🌸

Arigato gozaimasu por vuestro tiempo🌸
