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.

The side story really got me in tears, it's such an emotional rollercoaster. 😭

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.

Bocchi the Rock! 4-5 are the strongest volumes so far in my opinion, the characters are really starting to flesh out.

I am hoping the future will have more stories about Hiroi san.
