Bocchi the Rock! follows the life of Hitori Gotou, a lonely high school girl who yearns to make friends and perform live with a band. However, given her social anxiety, she wasn't able to make connections and instead devoted all her time to playing the guitar by herself at home.

One fateful day, Gotou met the outgoing drummer Nijika Ijichi, who invited her to join the Kessoku Band. While their first performance wasn't great, the girls feel empowered by their shared love for music. The anime follows Gotou and her friends as they try to improve as musicians while making the most of their high school days.
