About Hitori
Hitori Gotoh, nicknamed "Bocchi-chan," is a first-year high school student who dreams of forming a band to overcome her severe social anxiety. Despite her incredible talent on the guitar, she struggles to perform in front of others and often hides inside a cardboard box during shows.
Joining Kessoku Band with her bandmates—Nijika, Ryo, and Kita—marks the beginning of her journey. Through their support, she slowly learns to interact with others, write lyrics, and face her fears on stage, even when her anxiety constantly tries to pull her back.
