It is undeniable that Bocchi the Rock! is one of the most popular anime of the fall 2022 , currently occupying second place in the ranking of the season's best-rated series according to MyAnimeList, behind only Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and above Chainsaw Man .
However, this numerical superiority comes even though “the Bocchi” that appears in the anime adaptation is not completely faithful to what appears in the manga . We are not referring to her attitude, which in both media is socially awkward, but to her physical attributes. Fans of the original work already had doubts about it, but the most recent episode ended up confirming this.
Bocchi The Rock! – Bocchi’s breasts were reduced without explanation
Check it out:
Before a stage performance, Bocchi attends a Maid Cafe , so obviously she must wear the signature outfit to serve customers. In the original manga, Bocchi could barely fit her large breasts into her outfit, but in the anime adaptation it was made smaller. Yes, she is a nerf, and one of the weakest.
The production had already hinted that Bocchi's breasts were smaller than in the original manga in previous episodes, but the last episode was the perfect proof to show this fact. Why was this decision made? There are no clues as to what was possible, although perhaps the production wanted Bocchi to become popular with fans because of his personality and not because of his body, something they definitely achieved . Would Bocchi's popularity have been different if she had kept her large breasts? After all, let's remember that the manga has gone unnoticed until now.
Synopsis:
Hitori “Bocchi” Gotou, lonely and eager to blend in with others, spends her time playing the guitar. One fateful day, Bocchi meets extroverted drummer Nijika Ijichi, who invites her to join the Kessoku Band when her guitarist, Ikuyo Kita, runs away before her first show. Soon after, Bocchi meets his latest partner, the brilliant bassist Ryou Yamada.
Although their first performance together is mediocre, the girls are strengthened by their shared love of music, and Kita soon joins them again. Finding happiness in performing, Bocchi and his classmates put all their efforts into improving as musicians while making the most of their fleeting high school days.
