The television anime produced by CloverWorks aired in 12 episodes in Fall 2022. Crunchyroll streamed the anime with subtitles.

Bocchi the Rock! adapts Aki Hamaji's 4-koma music comedy manga, which began serializing in Manga Time Kirara MAX in December 2017. Houbunsha shipped the fifth volume on November 26 last year. Bocchi the Rock! has a cumulative 2 million copies of its volumes in print, including the anthology.

Yen Press licensed the manga in English in April 2023. The first volume is planned for an October 17 release.

Synopsis
Yearning to make friends and perform live with a band, lonely and socially anxious Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou devotes her time to playing the guitar. On a fateful day, Bocchi meets the outgoing drummer Nijika Ijichi, who invites her to join Kessoku Band when their guitarist, Ikuyo Kita, flees before their first show. Soon after, Bocchi meets her final bandmate—the cool bassist Ryou Yamada.

Although their first performance together is subpar, the girls feel empowered by their shared love for music, and they are soon rejoined by Kita. Finding happiness in performing, Bocchi and her bandmates put their hearts into improving as musicians while making the most of their fleeting high school days. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
