"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Also another new character rocketing up my favorites:

between the format and tone I’ve always gotten Azumanga Diaoh vibes from BtR but they’ve gone and added a Tomo-alike who is incredibly funny to watch everyone play off of, from her nicknames (Selfie-Sempai) to her endless supply of energy. This joke in particular feels straight out of Azuma:



The second season can’t come soon enough imo

They definitely dated post high school (and I wouldn't be shocked if at some point they were in a band together too)

I'm guesstimating the second season would cover the entire battle of the bands arc and maybe end with them getting scouted, there's plenty of good moments, new characters and Bocchi deaths there

the bocchi manga's been running for 5 years now but its only had about 50ish chapters in that time. its in a monthly magazine and the author takes two breaks a year for comiket, so about 10 chapters a year. so yeah its not that far into the story really.

There are lots of cosplay women out there to be your cosplay girlfriend, if you're willing to put in the effort. Bocchi just needs to cast a wider net, she's still in high school.

Except the one guy I saw trying to argue that she meant it in the platonic way that girls refer to their friends with

Because if there’s one thing I associate with professional gamers, it’s platonic friendships with women

bocchi honestly has a fair amount of incidental men they just arent important to the story its kind of weird to act like 'oh well MEN DONT EXIST is why theres lesbian overtones' lol

besides bocchi's dad there's the band on TV at the very start, a bunch of guys in the band posters in bocchi's room, those guys that played in the bit where bocchi's first working at the live house, most of the crowd shots at bocchi's school have male students too she doesnt go to a girl's school, there's gin-chan, etc. it's not really something like love live where they refuse to show a guy's face or acknowledge they exist. there's even a joke early on about bocchi pretending to have a boyfriend in her youtube descriptions.

As I understand it the only even minor gag that might be at play here is that professional gamers have an association with having cosplayer girlfriends, so if Bocchi becomes a pro gamer than obviously the rest would follow.
But it's also not even the only time she's thought something similar (i.e. becoming attractive to girls, specifically).

I mean whatever friendo. I just didn't know if this comedy manga was supposed to be referencing something about pro gamers I was unaware of in this.
