Bocchi the Rock! - Gotou-san! Moshikashite Okottemasu ka? (Doujinshi) Manhua

Bocchi's fingers trembled slightly as she adjusted the strap of her guitar, the weight of anticipation settling on her shoulders like a heavy cloak. The school festival was only hours away, and the thought of performing in front of a crowd sent a wave of nerves through her body. She glanced over at Gotou-san, who was tuning her microphone with a look of fierce determination on her face. "Are you ready, Bocchi?" Gotou-san's voice cut through the silence, filled with a contagious excitement that Bocchi couldn't help but be drawn to. Taking a deep breath, Bocchi nodded, her heart thudding in her chest. Together, they walked onto the stage, the lights casting a warm glow around them. As the first notes of their song filled the air, Bocchi felt a surge of adrenaline course through her veins. Gotou-san's voice soared, powerful and captivating, while Bocchi's guitar wailed in perfect harmony. Lost in the music, Bocchi closed her eyes, allowing herself to be swept away by the raw emotion of the moment. The cheers of the audience washed over her, lifting her higher and higher until she felt like she was soaring among the stars. And as the final chords faded into silence, Bocchi opened her eyes to see Gotou-san grinning at her, a twinkle of pride shining in her eyes. In that moment, Bocchi knew that she had found not only her voice as a musician but also a friend who believed in her more than she believed in herself. The applause thundered around them, a cacophony of celebration and support. Bocchi felt tears prickling at the corners of her eyes, but this time they weren't born of fear or uncertainty. They were tears of joy, of gratitude, of a newfound sense of confidence that she knew would carry her forward on her journey, with Gotou-san by her side, every step of the way.
