Nice to see Doki ain't stopping the fluff with Majyo to Houki.

This is unbearably precious.

And now im shipping bocchi with nako, because reasons.

Hope no guys show up later

Maybe it's just me but this really reminds me of Sacchi's manga from "Manga no Tsukurikata," which unfortunately isn't very reputable around here, but nonetheless still one of my top favorites. As for this series, social anxiety is a serious issue that some people struggle with (myself included), but I'm glad that it could be illustrated in such a light-hearted manga. Even though that might understate the reality of it, the message is conveyed pretty well, if Bocchi wants to make friends she'll have to open up and initiate, and there has to be effort on both sides despite some thinking that friendship comes intrinsically.

I also like the little details like the brash classmate/newfound friend of Bocchi having to sound like a completely different person on texts and overuse of emoticons, the awkward tension when the other person is on their phone, etc

I bet she'll grow up to be super popular in high school/university.

Cuteness ftw!

Report to your local authority figure when you see suspicious terrorist activity.

inevitable yuri route?
and Nako got really sexy body for 13yo.

Those names though,
Hitori Bocchi = hitoribocchi = Alone
Yawara Kai= Yawarakai= Soft/fluffy
Sunao nako = Sunao na ko = Honest child/person
Honshou Aru = Hiding her true nature

Thanks for listing that, in case people missed the footnotes at the bottom of their intro pages

Agreed and it's not suffering to read cause Watamote is just pure suffering to read.

i havent read this.. is this yuri? or only subtext? can i get my hope up?

I don't think there'll be yuri, as this is about friendship. But the characters are easily shippable and it's very cute.

HNNNNG

Does this qualify as subtext?

I think this is part of the "overthinking girl" genre. Alongside not only Watamote, but also Morita-san wa Mukuchi. And even Watamote has a Yuu-ri element. This is the only one of the three where the social anxiety and overthinking are actually realized by people around the girl, though. Good for Nako actually spelling it out, and good for Kai for confronting Bocchi about it.

Nice, Doki coming back with more 4-koma fluff.
I just hope this turns out as awesome as Majyo to Houki.

Heh, just as Nako-chan did, I also expected Honshou to have a bad/wicked personality. But she's cute too!
