Aki Hamaji's Bocchi the Rock! manga has resumed serialization in the August issue of Manga Time Kirara MAX, ending a health-related hiatus that began in December 2024. Hamaji also recently produced a key visual for the 35th anniversary of Shimokitazawa Shelter, the live house that inspired the venue in the anime.
Aki Hamaji's Bocchi the Rock! manga returned to serialization in the August issue of Manga Time Kirara MAX, released June 18. The series had been on hiatus since the March issue in January, following a pause that began in December 2024. Hamaji stated she had been in poor physical health for several months and needed time to recuperate. To mark the return, all chapters from volumes 1 through 8 are free to read on COMIC FUZ until June 20.
Before the manga's return, Hamaji produced a key visual for the 35th anniversary of Shimokitazawa Shelter, the live house that inspired the venue in the anime. The visual shows Bocchi and the band on stage against a photo of the real Shelter stage. A limited-edition T-shirt with the art went on sale starting May 15.
The resumption of the manga removes uncertainty around the series' future after the health-related pause, keeping the source material active alongside the announced second anime season. The magazine had planned a return in May before the delay pushed it to June.
