Will Bocchi The Rock! have a season 2?

The second season of Bocchi The Rock! has not been confirmed by any official sources as of yet. That being said, the manga is still ongoing and the first season has only covered up to 20 chapters so far. This dictates the need for a new season to continue the narrative. Currently, the manga has 5 volumes, so the anime has a lot more material to cover.

Bocchi The Rock! proved to be a favorite in the Fall 2022 anime season, with its brilliant adaptation, perfectly translating the unconventional four-panel manga format, or Yonkoma, for the screens.

The seinen manga by Aki Hamaji first came out in December 2017, and was met with love from readers. Its popularity has even managed to surpass one of the biggest anime series of 2022, Chainsaw Man. Needless to say, fans are holding their breath for more.

With the closing of its first season, the anime has also released a special commemorative visual, making fans hopeful for a quicker release of the new season. It served as a medium for the creators of the anime to thank viewers for their immense love and support. A summative trailer was also released by the studio, edited over the song Flashbacker.

CloverWorks, the production studio responsible for the series, has a number of projects lined up for the upcoming anime season, which might result in a delay in Bocchi The Rock!'s season 2. With no official announcement, a late 2023 or 2024 release can be speculated on at this moment.
