April. A young girl stands alone, acting suspiciously in front of the entrance to a middle school... That girl is Hitori Bocchi, a new first year student at the school. And starting today, she's going to become friends with everyone in her class... hopefully!
I made my very first friend, Nako-chan, mad!! But I don't know why she's mad or how to even apologize! What do I do?! What should I do...?! That's when--!
"I want to go home with Honshou-san. I want to go home with Honshou-san..." As Bocchi keeps muttering her desire, Nako offers her some advice: "First you need to go invite her."
"I've been searching for you this whole time. You can't fool my eyes." The road to school is full of danger! As Bocchi tries to hide her presence and make it to school she runs into a bright foreigner?!
Aru is an unfortunate girl. Today she unfortunately came to school wearing an elementary school backpack. She's already come up with the perfect excuse to turn this unfortunate event into a perfect day, but...?!
"Fever, come to me!" Bocchi shouts, desperately wanting to skip school. She tries clenching her fist, taking a cold shower, and so on... but it all just makes her feel even better?
"The world is cruel." It's July 19th, and summer break starts tomorrow. Bocchi has... not become friends with her entire class. So she needs to make one more friend today, even if it's only one...
The new semester begins and the dazzling foreigner Sotoka is still shining bright this second semester, gaining incredible popularity with her handmade shuriken. In contrast, Bocchi really wants to talk to Kako, but it's not going very well for her...
When everyone groups off cooking class, Bocchi ends up in a different group than Nako and Sotoka. But today Bocchi is Strong Bocchi. She tries talking to everyone in her group... and fails. Her imaginations keep running round and round in her head, but...?!
Strong Bocchi powers up! Today she's Super Strong Bocchi! And Sotoka becomes Super Strong Sotoka too! What's making her stronger than usual? ...Her shoe?? Natto?!
If she doesn't talk to all of her friends every day, they'll forget her! While Bocchi has more friends now, she has more worries too. What should she do to ensure she remains friends with everyone? Make her CD Debut?!
Finally... Finally... Bocchi has a smartphone! Now Bocchi can join the smartphone tap-tap group too. Yet first she takes her friend's advice and greets her phone. So when it responds and she asks it to be her friend...?
