The Bocchi the Rock manga will finally appear outside Japan, as Yen Press announced an English release. It confirmed it during its Sakura-con 2023 panel, alongside 27 other acquisitions. It has a tentative Fall 2023 release window, though there’s no exact release date yet.
Here’s Yen Press’ official announcement of the Bocchi the Rock manga English release. The tentative cover art shown in it is based on the Japanese one. Like series like Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star, it is a four-koma series.
