love how it *STAYS* true to its *sub-genre* for being a visual humor sicne its a 4-panel visual gag manga "yonkoma" for its anime adaptation sporting multimedia visual style as visual language.
I recently learned cooking is my passion. Too bad it's no help at all because I am also trying to slim down. Anyways, you'll eventually find a passion too.
No matter how old you are, you can grow, learn. That’s also a point of Bocchi: she thought she missed her chance because she didn’t make a band in middle school. But she continued to grow through the friends she made. Not because she was in high school but because of others who shared her passion. You can still find your passion as an adult. Hell, you don’t even have to be good at it. But I’ve found that when you make yourself happy, you make others happy too, and that makes yourself happy again! Rock on Bocchi!
damn that last scene. that was supposed to be simple heartwarming and cute at the original but paired with Perfect Girl it just looks like Bocchi cannot grasp that she's talking with another human. Like, all of a sudden, she realised that she truly did exist. And she is indeed alive. A small breather she took to take in the fact that she can break free from her loneliness. Nijika showed her light.
im in a group of friends and when we are in a group walking, they just leave without saying goodbye to me, and nobody even talks to me even tho im in the group with everyone. Excepting this one friend, she talks to me sometimes and asks me things to know me better, she even says goodbye when I leave. Might sound simple but it means the world to me
@@anyexrest137 I have group of freinds (4 ppl). And i very close to 2. Whats with other 2? 1 just quiet and another just very nice like our classmates know that he exist and some time use him to help with homework or something. But we try to not froget about anybody. Your freinds maybe just dont think that its important to say that thinks to you they just know you are their freind. And you can always ask them
I think I’m experiencing that. Prob cuz I had a stroke not long ago, and I was reflecting on everything, most of the ppl I talked on discord lost their accounts or I can’t talk to them cuz we are no longer in the same server (for many reasons). I have a pretty good memory so most of the friends I made on discord are still on my heart.
99% of these scenes are Bocchi listening to her mind, thinking, dreaming about things, etc… This edit shows all of these scenes from an external point of view, one where we can’t hear the cacophony of voices inside of her, one where all that is heard is silence. A lonely silence.
Literally turned the funny slice-of-life anime with a few themes of anxiety and loneliness into a fully-fledged anime series where the focus is entirely on a character’s loneliness and anxiety and how they react with the world around them, either slowly getting worse or trying to get better. They do say editing is everything, I guess.
@@taxinvasion260 Hmmmm, given how their personalities work, I don't think those songs fit them. Kita being a bright extrovert and Ryou being a kuudere introvert.
There is an idea of a "Bocchi The Rock". Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my social anxiety, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our conversations are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
its funny to think about the fact that Bocchi is still more social than half the people unironically saying "Shes literally me". I think the reason I like her so much is cause dispite her social anxiety, she is still trying her best to better herself as a person and for the most part, she IS getting better. :)
Bro she's a fictional character... The whole point of Bocchi is to get her to mirror people with social anxiety and show that the world isn't as judgey as they think and they CAN get over their fears.
For me it's how it the latter half of the show she's surrounded by friends and still feels seperate and alone. Then there's the scene with hitori and the blond one (nagafuji I think) that, while I'm reading into it off of my own experiences, really hits hard with falling in love but having no idea how to go about it.
It depends on the environment, if you have real life people like in the anime it'd be easier to improve. Like someone who gives emotional support, help and understands you
bocchi was alone all the time. but then nijika waves goodbye to her. honestly, as a person who has one friend, I truly understand bocchi's emotions. I was bullied heavily as a kid and it screwed up my mindset, and to see someone in my age group, with the same interests as me, treating me with respect and never getting mad because I'm insecure, or anything, but rather blaming it on my past experiences is... validating. she doesn't force me to go outside, she just says, "...come on. let's do P.E." and then whenever someone bullies me, or even insults me, she instantly defends me. it's so weird. people think I'm the extroverted class clown, but honestly, I'm not just the weirdo who makes insane jokes. I'm the loner who has no idea on how to talk to adults, is pereptually afraid of moving away again to another place and starting over again. if there's a quiet kid in your class, or a kid that's moved into your school and hasn't socialized in two weeks, talk to them. just speak to them, wave at them, if anyone bullies them stand up for them. it makes our day.
There's a reason so many people relate to her. Bocchi was definitely the most relatable "social anxiety" character I've seen in anime. The girl from Watamote was over the top excessive to the point of absurdity and has no self-awareness (for me, I'm sure some people heavily relate to her), and the other Bocchi from Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu, is saccharine and naive, which makes her lovable, but hard to relate to. Most other "shy" characters either stop having anxiety the moment someone supports them, or are one-note characters who are mostly just a punchline. Bocchi just feels so much more realistic. She's constantly in her head. She overthinks things. The unique animated sections and delusions constantly show us her thought process, and we see why she acts the way she does. We see the manic nervous energy in her head, instead of just her terrified exterior.
For tomoko (watamote), after the anime, in the manga, she became a lot more relatable starting from when she basically gave up or stop caring about being popular. Before this tomoko was a girl with a lot of prejudice(?) or negative perception towards people, pretentious, and always looking down on them. After she stop caring she started to actually look at people as an individual, instead of made up or internet stereotypes of these people, despite not being able to fully rid herself of her preconseption of peoples stereotypes. In the later chapters, her worry shifted from being popular to entering university, getting a job, having a dream or goal in life, how to keep those that are around her from finding out her dark or cringe past, protecting her brother from the wrong kinds of people, and not disappointing her parents which has become a very endearing story as of the past year. Furthermore, she has become more comfortable with her loneliness and can even interact with other people normally. One of the lines that i think truly shows tomoko's growth is this, as you are saying she have a lack of self awareness "Why am I always late in noticing these things? Now I may won't even be able to thank her anymore" Oh yeah, I think this is the only manga where everyone is seriously studying instead of playing around or having drama, just that tomoko sometimes becomes her old self occasionally and spout out unhinge stuff. Also, if you are interested in reading the manga, I would suggest to start at chapter 60 to still get the cringe so you can get a feel of her growth.
@@tomobred Regarding Komi, I personally think she represents anxiety of the people who had "Pretty Privilege". The other side characters clearly only like her because she's "Beautiful and smart in everyway possible". When you look at it that way their support for Komi doesn't really look real and in reality only Tadano and Najimi are the ones helping her. Also imo some parts of the anime/manga feels kinda realistic (Ex. The part about Komi not being able to go to a field trip because of her inability to communicate), But that's just my opinio
I like the friend from "Tomo is a girl". I don't think she fits the social anxiety aspect of your post but so far she's definitely one of my favorite "literally me" characters. I like her because she was more depth than the usual deadpan introverted character.
I don't think you made it feel like a psychological horror, you made it feel like, learning to cope with loneliness and overcoming it through passion and friendship
@@kelyuku I haven't watched this anime yet but from what I see from this anime, I don't think it feels like psychology horror It's about a shy, awkward, and lonely high school student dreams of being in a band This is musical slice of life anime, after all
at very least she is skilled, the cute look, and the luck to run into the rest of the band members that cared for her. Most social anxiety people don't have that luxury.
People tend to forget about that luck factor when talking about Bocchi. What they only care is how they feel that she is them just because she's socially anxious
- Plays in bands since music is the only talent she has that she can proudly tell - Is probably a gamer/weeb/IT - Fucked Up/Depressed life - Always in her room - Always locked up in her own world - Dreams of being in big stages like Budokkan, Rock Am Ring, Knotfest and, more - Unconfident - Sleep deprived - Spends time alone more than with friends Now I never thought I'd have a female version in an anime Japan that's just sweet😢
This video made me think really into Bocchi's lifestyle, we all get that she has social anxiety, and that she didn't really talk with ppl, but imagine being that alone for so long, like, we are talking about *years* of low to none social interactions beside her family.
Sad truth is that despite how she's portrayed as this fragile girl with social issues, Bocchi already is in better position than most of us. She got pro level guitar skills, 3 genuine friends, is taking step towards her dream, is working, is cute looking, has beeg bonkers (very important) and is a popular youtuber. Plus, she achieved all of this before she even graduated highschool.
Bocchi is literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like her. There is no way you can convince me that I’m not Bocchi. Bocchi could not possibly be any more me. It’s me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me about this not possibly being me, I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that Bocchi was me. Bocchi is absolutely me; it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that Bocchi is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and Bocchi side by side, you’d see no difference. I can safely look at Bocchi every day and say, “Yup, she’s me.” I can practically see Bocchi whenever I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside, and people stop me from commenting on how similar I look and act as Bocchi is. I chuckle softly as I’m assured every day Bocchi is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed each morning, knowing that I’ve found my identity with Bocchi and I know my place in this world. It’s amusing how similar she is to me; it’s almost like identical twins. When I first saw Bocchi, I had an existential crisis. What it Bocchi was the real me and I was the fictional being? What if she actually became aware of my existence? Did she have the ability to become self-aware?
I enjoyed watching her progress from a box of ripe mangos to a semi functional person. I think she will recover. Her family and friends are really supportive of her. If she can accept that she has four or five people she can completely trust then she might recover.
Man, I'm 30 now, and I watched this anime because of the hype around it. I certainly didn't regret it. This is a masterpiece. So many people can relate to Bocchi. It reminded me when I was around 12ish, I had social anxiety, I could never speak to another person, I was lonely, and I was being severely bullied at that time. Now I'm different, strong and I love myself, but hell, it wasn't easy. On top of that I have misophonia, which made it even harder. Life ain't easy.
@@destroyedworld1185 no i dont think so, we musicians are here to keep the wonderful music of this anime alive! cause yeah its really good music, it wont be forgotten, just as k on, people still upload covers of it
Do not worry, keep improving yourself everyday A wall isn't made making the perfect wall Is made making a brick as perfectly as possible and put as perfectly as posible everyday. One day you'll find people who will admire you and your work, your journey and your life philosofy, only then you'll wake up and see your value.
The worst part of all of this is that millions If not billions of young people like me, feel exactly the same as Bocchi and have no idea of what to do with it.
I love how each scene you chose matches the way the audio feels. The higher energy of the first half is filled with hope and joy. As the music fades a little, the scenes are a little longer and sadder (walking down the street, that wave goodbye) Very nice B)
this kind of edit really fits her and you even used the best remix. i thought it wouldnt work cuz of how cute and comedic the show is but i was proven wrong and here's peak kino. she's truly a "literally me" character.
I feel like what's missing here is the "Abandoning your Uniqueness is equivalent to dying." Scene. That hits hard, and it practically gets skimmed over by many people. As an Anxiety ridden person, you shouldn't change yourself to fit with other people, be the person you are, and you'll find people who also share the same traits. You are never alone.
Not every piece fits the puzzle. If you can’t fit in, you will never find refuge and from there it’s a downward spiral, as it will only get worse. Hope blinds you from the reality that people use each other and if you can’t fit in to provide said use, you’ll be looking for phantoms. Besides you, there’s no one else to look after your back. You are always alone.
this feels contradictory in a way, how can one "abandon their uniqueness" if there are "people who also share the same traits as you". At most, you can somewhat say that our chain of memories are what sets us apart, but other than that, this sort of belief makes no sense to me, there's no true "individuality" even if you try to actively avoid conformity, we all follow each other/instinctually do "human" things to some degree
I didn't notice bocchi only wore the track suit outside of her house until a few episodes. This was literally me in middle school for some reason. I think it's just comfort for bocchi like it was for me.
This is literally me but with a hoodie. It could be the hottest day of the year, you could literally fry chicken on the side walk, but I would always wear my gray hoodie
I felt this personally. The feeling that you can and never will connect with anyone, no matter how much you want to or try. Dreams that are too unreal to ever happen, yet you still try. Life being disappointing in every way.
For people who dont understand why people say '' Bocchi is me/ Bocchi is reletable'' to answer that quastion : Bocchi is an introvert, which means she is alone. And she also has social anxiety ( she gets anxious around social people ), and she trys to do activites such as a rock band, go to school and try to talk with peopleand more. ( Social anxiety is something that can cause person go depressed, or even end theirselfs. )
She's not literally me. She has become a master at playing guitar, has 30,000 subscribers, made a high school debut, and is the one who carries the band multiple times, she is canonically pretty and has a good body, not to mention that she made 300,000¥ by herself, and the only thing that is stopping her for reaching her dream is her social anxiety.
"So I figured out this genius plan to make up for my lack of social skills; which is just to stand there and look approachable until an extrovert takes pity on me, and adopts me." - Technoblade 2018
literally me except im not like her at all and im actually just rotting in the corner while people think about me as a weird person and then suddenly now im burning and i feel like going home except id be a bother and dont really want to but at the same time if i stay there id be even more of a bother and then if i talk too much ill be a bother and now im being bothersome 😔
i heard the perfect girl start playing and was like how the hell is this gonna match... then it was the piece of art i needed today and i was pleasantly surprised. well done
Ngl for me the only thing missing from bocchi is that she isn’t haunted 24/7 by the fear/anxiety of people actually seeing/knowing that you’re always scared of others, excessively anxious, and extremely depressed… if she had that then she would be “literally me”, but I’m glad we got what we did instead of her just being “literally me” in every single way, she’s way better like this.
Some of the clips I’ve seen of Bocchi really resonates with me I’ve thought about myself in certain situation through the same sort of styles that Bocchi uses Like the moment when she’s writhing on the ground and the funny little face she makes The way she retreats into her blanket and the way she looks sorta sick in some shots The tiredness The rolling around on the floor and bumping her head against furniture repeatedly Some of the sorta semi serious scenes like walking down a hallway or street There’s not really anything going on It’s just moving forward because there’s a place you should be Sitting outside and staring down at a notebook with an expression of determination or an unexplainable hollowness that just hurts Watching with a blank expression as a friend says goodbye The slow way her hand returns to her drink It seems like she’s soaking in the fact she’s alone again It all feels so familiar to me it’s kinda scary but in a nice way
As a guy who's going through depression, having friends that care about me and a family that does the same, and that has talent at racing, I feel the same.
That's how you write a story for adults. It's not a matter of mature contents like blood and sex, but speaking of themes in which a reader could see himself or at least understand. It's true that this show is also funny and cheerful, but it shows quite well how social anxiety can badly affect a person's life and why it's important to find a safe place to stay to be saved, in this case, by the people who love you

Since I finished Bocchi a week ago I've been watching this edit several times a day every day. Thank you so much Den.
That doesn't sound wise.
- Plays in bands since music is the only talent she has that she can proudly tell
- Is probably a gamer/weeb/IT
- Fucked Up/Depressed life
- Always in her room
- Always locked up in her own world
- Dreams of being in big stages like Budokkan, Rock Am Ring, Knotfest and, more
- Unconfident
- Sleep deprived
- Spends time alone more than with friends
Now I never thought I'd have a female version in an anime Japan that's just sweet😢

This video made me think really into Bocchi's lifestyle, we all get that she has social anxiety, and that she didn't really talk with ppl, but imagine being that alone for so long, like, we are talking about *years* of low to none social interactions beside her family.
I don't need to imagine
🥲
@@user-pe5xd3qh7m damn i know how you feel
i haven't had years of social interactions (even with my family) i completely forgot how it feels like lmfao
as someone who's been friendless for 7 years i saw myself in her eyes. It stops being painful at the ~6 year mark but... those eyes still speak to me.
me livin' like that for 14 years now and counting-:
Sad truth is that despite how she's portrayed as this fragile girl with social issues, Bocchi already is in better position than most of us. She got pro level guitar skills, 3 genuine friends, is taking step towards her dream, is working, is cute looking, has beeg bonkers (very important) and is a popular youtuber. Plus, she achieved all of this before she even graduated highschool.

She got pro lvl guitar skills after 8 years of studying guitar, lol

Bocchi is literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like her. There is no way you can convince me that I’m not Bocchi. Bocchi could not possibly be any more me. It’s me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me about this not possibly being me, I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that Bocchi was me. Bocchi is absolutely me; it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that Bocchi is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and Bocchi side by side, you’d see no difference. I can safely look at Bocchi every day and say, “Yup, she’s me.” I can practically see Bocchi whenever I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside, and people stop me from commenting on how similar I look and act as Bocchi is. I chuckle softly as I’m assured every day Bocchi is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed each morning, knowing that I’ve found my identity with Bocchi and I know my place in this world. It’s amusing how similar she is to me; it’s almost like identical twins. When I first saw Bocchi, I had an existential crisis. What it Bocchi was the real me and I was the fictional being? What if she actually became aware of my existence? Did she have the ability to become self-aware?

I enjoyed watching her progress from a box of ripe mangos to a semi functional person. I think she will recover. Her family and friends are really supportive of her. If she can accept that she has four or five people she can completely trust then she might recover.

Man, I'm 30 now, and I watched this anime because of the hype around it. I certainly didn't regret it. This is a masterpiece. So many people can relate to Bocchi. It reminded me when I was around 12ish, I had social anxiety, I could never speak to another person, I was lonely, and I was being severely bullied at that time. Now I'm different, strong and I love myself, but hell, it wasn't easy. On top of that I have misophonia, which made it even harder. Life ain't easy.
Life isn't easy but we can make it easy keep on living your life the way you want it to be I support you 💯
12 hahaha. People who love anime are usually over 20 and they are still bochy.
J watch Bocci 35 old j all life Alone
is the anime called Bocchi?

At least she’s good looking and have a goal in her life

Do not worry, keep improving yourself everyday

One day you'll find people who will admire you and your work, your journey and your life philosofy, only then you'll wake up and see your value.
Eso me motivó, gracias.
thanks for the motivation bro
Jajajaja i found that but because she is crazy she destroyed me after a happy relationship with her it changed me forever.
you don't need someone's else approval to feel fulfilled tho
delusional.
The worst part of all of this is that millions If not billions of young people like me, feel exactly the same as Bocchi and have no idea of what to do with it.
@@Sal-tw4cd Wow okay Mr! Congratulations you solved everyone's problems.
honestly her loneliness before she joined the band was really depressing. this is probably how i would feel if i never talked to anyone
it kinda hurts seeing everyone like "omg literally me" meanwhile i'm here crying because i don't have no one to talk
Same man 🫂
I've been without friends for so long that I went from hating my feeling of loneliness to gradually accepting it.
Nice pfp bro
@@Leshy_of_the_forest thanks bro I like yours, the best waifus

being lonely is good, feeling lonely is the worst
theres no shame in being weak, the shame is in staying weak
I realized, Bochi is literally me
I love how each scene you chose matches the way the audio feels. The higher energy of the first half is filled with hope and joy. As the music fades a little, the scenes are a little longer and sadder (walking down the street, that wave goodbye)
Very nice B)
The part when she glitches in the floor is the most relatable for me...
Yes, a panic attack.
this kind of edit really fits her and you even used the best remix. i thought it wouldnt work cuz of how cute and comedic the show is but i was proven wrong and here's peak kino. she's truly a "literally me" character.
As a guitarist this is always a video I watch for motivation to practice and get better
This edit's gonna blow up, big W man.
It's awesome how one song can change the mood of a movie, video, or game no matter what the situation is.
I feel like what's missing here is the "Abandoning your Uniqueness is equivalent to dying." Scene.
That hits hard, and it practically gets skimmed over by many people.
As an Anxiety ridden person, you shouldn't change yourself to fit with other people, be the person you are, and you'll find people who also share the same traits.
You are never alone.
This.
We are not special. No matter what weird/quirky personality you may have, there will always be someone who shares the same values as you
Not every piece fits the puzzle. If you can’t fit in, you will never find refuge and from there it’s a downward spiral, as it will only get worse.
Hope blinds you from the reality that people use each other and if you can’t fit in to provide said use, you’ll be looking for phantoms.
Besides you, there’s no one else to look after your back.
You are always alone.
this feels contradictory in a way, how can one "abandon their uniqueness" if there are "people who also share the same traits as you". At most, you can somewhat say that our chain of memories are what sets us apart, but other than that, this sort of belief makes no sense to me, there's no true "individuality" even if you try to actively avoid conformity, we all follow each other/instinctually do "human" things to some degree
The diference between her and me is not the fact she is talented at something. It's the fact i never had a dream where my wishes became true...
already at the end of the road, yet the film keeps on rolling
The power of editing and music. Anything can be depressing if you know what you’re doing.
The part where she sits alone in her closet reminiscing about the past hits hard.
i have literally never seen this anime before but I'm so intrigued now because of this edit. this is so fantastically done
The scene at 0:50 and the one straight after in this edit made me feel so called out that I need to watch it now.
Hope you two enjoyed it.

Do you play guitar?@@ryanflorian2047
I didn't notice bocchi only wore the track suit outside of her house until a few episodes. This was literally me in middle school for some reason. I think it's just comfort for bocchi like it was for me.
I wasn't athletic either lol
This was me but with a sweater and jeans that's the only shit I would wear
This is literally me but with a hoodie. It could be the hottest day of the year, you could literally fry chicken on the side walk, but I would always wear my gray hoodie

Thank you.
Thank you for making this video.
It’s what taught me about, and convinced me to watch Bocchi the Rock.
Needless to say, it topped my list.
Bocchi taking part on the "Literally me" Characters.
Bravo.
I felt this personally.
The feeling that you can and never will connect with anyone, no matter how much you want to or try.
Dreams that are too unreal to ever happen, yet you still try.
Life being disappointing in every way.
I'm Bocchi minus the cuteness and the guitar
Truly one of the "she's just like me fr, fr" moments of all time
I don't know what this is about but this was way too emotional than I thought it would be.
For people who dont understand why people say '' Bocchi is me/ Bocchi is reletable'' to answer that quastion :
Bocchi is an introvert, which means she is alone. And she also has social anxiety ( she gets anxious around social people ), and she trys to do activites such as a rock band, go to school and try to talk with peopleand more.
( Social anxiety is something that can cause person go depressed, or even end theirselfs. )
she's extroverted with social anxiety
this vid hits hard, very relatable depressed feeling after seeing bocchi being by herself
She's not literally me. She has become a master at playing guitar, has 30,000 subscribers, made a high school debut, and is the one who carries the band multiple times, she is canonically pretty and has a good body, not to mention that she made 300,000¥ by herself, and the only thing that is stopping her for reaching her dream is her social anxiety.
You can do it
Damn how an edit can change the whote narrative of a story
ikr, just like a whole another anime
I've been watching this for the hundredth time in a few months now and I realize that I'm literally Bocci
I see this on my home page every time I open yt lol

12 episodes and it isnt enough, this anime has to continue like one piece! i will watch bocchi the rock even if i gotta see bocchi as an elderly

Bocchi is me except she's talented cute and funny
She’s literally me except I’m not a cute pink-haired anime girl and I don’t have talent nor friends
Serial experiments Bocchi
1 mil. in 3 weeks. Bocchi is literally everyone.
literally me except im not like her at all and im actually just rotting in the corner while people think about me as a weird person and then suddenly now im burning and i feel like going home except id be a bother and dont really want to but at the same time if i stay there id be even more of a bother and then if i talk too much ill be a bother and now im being bothersome 😔
i heard the perfect girl start playing and was like how the hell is this gonna match... then it was the piece of art i needed today and i was pleasantly surprised. well done
by far out of every anime character i know she's the most relatable one for me.
Ngl for me the only thing missing from bocchi is that she isn’t haunted 24/7 by the fear/anxiety of people actually seeing/knowing that you’re always scared of others, excessively anxious, and extremely depressed… if she had that then she would be “literally me”, but I’m glad we got what we did instead of her just being “literally me” in every single way, she’s way better like this.
Absolutely amazing edit mate!
never thought an anime could understand my thinking
SHE LITERALLY IS MEEEE!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Some of the clips I’ve seen of Bocchi really resonates with me
I’ve thought about myself in certain situation through the same sort of styles that Bocchi uses
Like the moment when she’s writhing on the ground and the funny little face she makes
The way she retreats into her blanket and the way she looks sorta sick in some shots
The tiredness
The rolling around on the floor and bumping her head against furniture repeatedly
Some of the sorta semi serious scenes like walking down a hallway or street
There’s not really anything going on
It’s just moving forward because there’s a place you should be
Sitting outside and staring down at a notebook with an expression of determination or an unexplainable hollowness that just hurts
Watching with a blank expression as a friend says goodbye
The slow way her hand returns to her drink
It seems like she’s soaking in the fact she’s alone again
It all feels so familiar to me it’s kinda scary but in a nice way
Something about this edits just feels perfect
One of the few "Literally me" characters that doesn't have a kill count...Yet.
As a guy who's going through depression, having friends that care about me and a family that does the same, and that has talent at racing, I feel the same.

We... are literally Bocchi
That's how you write a story for adults.
It's not a matter of mature contents like blood and sex, but speaking of themes in which a reader could see himself or at least understand.
It's true that this show is also funny and cheerful, but it shows quite well how social anxiety can badly affect a person's life and why it's important to find a safe place to stay to be saved, in this case, by the people who love you
Literally me except she’s not a disappointment to her parents and she actually has some talent
