IDK yall. Six years? That’s a pretty long time for personal growth. I was a complete nervous wreck who really struggled socially and spent my time hiding in my room or my dorm for a long time. And after some sort of catalyzing events, yeah about six years later I’m a much more confident person and much better at managing and understanding my own anxiety. Just spending a little bit of time working a service industry job during that period made a huge impact on me over the course of like 6 months. So 6 whole years of being in a band? It’s really plausible to me that she’s changed like that. You can see that she’s still the same person, but yeah she changed a lot.
Is it the bocchi we know? Definitely not, but years later she shouldn’t be. And I feel like that kind of earnest unselfconscious attentiveness is a reasonable place for her to end up.
I feel like the thing that makes it the most jarring(?) is that bocchi is the ONLY one who looks different. They all look the same LOL
And some pages, ngl, maybe it’s just me, Bocchi looked a lil’ like Himmel from Frieren
In the anime, Bocchi’s like, 16/17, so in this manga, shes like, 22/23? It’s kinda unbelievable for the girl who was like, 5’1? To jump 4ish inches, when girls stop growing at 15-18. If shes only been a tall hottie for 3 years, then that means she got taller when she was 19/20, which doesn’t happen
She lowkey looks masculine now
