You can only think of Halloween until you die.
When talking about whether a not a fictional character is gay and your default is "this character hasn't explicitly said they are gay/expressed feelings for a same sex character so it is not true" you are implying that heterosexuality is the default and queerness is a deviation from the norm. Which sucks.

If Bocchi was gender swapped I don't think there would be hesitation in assuming they were het and interested in girls based on the manga/anime content, so there really shouldn't be any hesitation in assuming that Bocchi is gay/bi here.

Finally on a PC that can post in here and looking at all of the Kirara series that got anime, only a few have a het couple at the rest are either yuri or have yuri undertones like Yuyushiki, Hidamari Sketch. Slow Start, GochiUsa, Machikado Mazoku, and Sakura Trick. Unless it has male characters for Bocchi to be attracted to, I'm gonna default to her being gay/bi since there's an obvious pattern in these sorts of series under this publisher with female only primary casts and largely female secondary casts.

Also the argument that Bocchi isn't gay cause some other series was just bait is also an argument I've seen people use for Suletta/Miorine and Chisato/Takina and it's annoying there and definitely used to mask homophobia

Edit: Maybe I'm being a bit to harsh cause some of them probably are more fans from the tumblr era that just the negative in everything and really don't engage with media

there's a manga panel where Bocchi literally goes "I want a cosplayer girlfriend" with zero ambiguity. literally コスプレイヤーの彼女.

Can I say that 'big titty cosplayer girlfriend' is pretty bad as evidentiary standards go? It's a jab at trashy LNs rather than some reflection of Bocchi's sexuality. There is literally a 'big titty cosplayer' character in the manga and Bocchi has zero interest in them.

And considering Guitar Hero is Bocchi's online identity constructed from what Bocchi wants to be -- popular and well-liked -- "having a basketball captain boyfriend" is more indicative of sexuality than that.

The real reason Bocchi is gay is because 'Like a constellation' has the gayest lyrics to ever exist.

I think you have this backwards, she made up the basketball captain boyfriend to appear less pathetic, not for any reason of actual indication of attraction, while the big titty cosplay girlfriend would be a desired outcome in and of itself because Bocchi wants a big titty cosplay girlfriend. shes gonna end up with a small titty gal

Spanish scans for chapter 2 of Kikuri's Heavy Drinking Diary just dropped.
Spoilers: Kikuri is drunk, and broke, and stupid, and cancelled.

Two chapters might be too early to gauge where the story's going, but I get the feeling that they are building up to deal with Kikuri's alcoholism more seriously, even if the tone is fairly light so far. It's unlikely that we'll see much in the way of character development since her story's going to run parallel to BTR! and as of the latest Bocchi chapter Kikuri's still going strong on that Happiness Spiral. We might get an entire chapter dedicated to Kikuri committing tax fraud, though, so there's that to look forward to.

Kikuri still being a trash person. this time we get to see her band mates attempt to rein her in. How does that fare?

tbh my immediate reaction to this chapter was that kikuri is hilarious as a side character but just kind of depressing when she gets all the focus, so i hope this side series finds some kind of groove beyond that

I imagine the writers had that in mind when they made this, especially since BTR is really great about character development and this comic is built less like a gag manga and more like a narrative. We’re gonna get Kikuri turning into less of a trash person and more of an actual adult capable of being (marginally) responsible.

tbh its in sort of a weird position because as a spinoff manga itd be weird if kikuri got development there and not in the main series. its fine for shima and eliza since they're pretty minor characters in the main manga but kikuri is major enough that itd feel weird to have her suddenly develop offscreen

You get 15 pages a month in the main series and you’ve got 4 characters that you have to focus on before Kikuri, there’s hardly enough space to give her any real development there. I think a spin-off is the right call, she doesn’t show up that often anyways and I bet there are very few people who aren’t gonna read both, but she’s an interesting character and there’s a fun story to be told about someone who already made it big

edit: unrelated but Bocchi’s VA did a live version of the AKFG song they closed this season with to open a big battle of the bands for high schoolers, and she even played guitar! It was also really cool, I love how much the music is resonating with people, it’s all so good

That live show is going to be streaming online. The first Friday evening show (5am EST this Friday morning) and the last Sunday shows (11pm EST Saturday the 19th and 4am Sunday the 20th) are both available on that website, I was able to buy tickets despite living in the US so I don’t think it’s region locked. All of the women playing the main 4 seem very talented and they’ll be playing the music from the show so I imagine being completely non-fluent won’t kill my enjoyment all the way

Crunchyroll actually does carry live-action series so, while not a guarantee, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that they would license and stream this live action series.

It’s a stage show, not a live action series, I don’t know how often those get subbed and brought here but maybe if it’s really good….
