Every time I finish a volume of this I feel like I’m the one who could use a drink. I won’t belabour this point much more than usual, but this series has one joke and one joke only.
Sometimes that’s enough and we get a little bit more time with characters that people like and so on and so forth. I think my tolerance for this type of boozy behaviour (my alcohol tolerance, if you will) is surprisingly low.
Thinking on it, it’s probably that the series rewards Hiroi for being drunk off her ass and toxifying her liver. Most stories like this would offer a comeuppance or something, but no, she gets to menace her friends without issue.
For some reason, my analogue to this is always the hard-drinking Fujisawa from El-Hazard, who was also a heavy drinker, but then developed super strength whenever he was sober. There’s a consequence there that made it more amusing.
Hiroi, however, just becomes a hard rocking guitar god. Yeah, this isn’t a realistic story, but sometimes this stuff bugs the pants off me. It definitely reduces the amount of enjoyment I can take from it.
The two highlights are the opening story at Comiket (or equivalent) and a later one about shopping. The Comiket story features a hilarious amount of cosplay and yuri baiting, deliberately done, that got a good chuckle out of me.
The shopping story sees Hiroi trying to buy guitar strings, but this quickly escalates as she gets trapped in a situation of being pitched a succession of expensive guitars she can’t afford. This one is fun and has a clever ending, bolstered by a short cameo.
This is totally okay stuff; I don’t think it’s awful, I just have issues with its glorification of alcoholism and probably always will. Even then, if you don’t have the background of who’s who from Bocchi the Rock, its parent series, you’re missing a ton of the moments here.
3 stars - couple good chapters, some reviewer aggravation, pretty much as expected.
