Kessoku Band has successfully cleared the first round of auditions for the Unidentified Riot music festival, but this is no time to rest on their laurels. The next step is a death knell for introverts everywhere-a popularity contest! Every vote in the online poll matters when they’re trying to stand on the same stage as powerhouses like SIDEROS, so Bocchi will need to call in a favor from all the...friends she has? Um, is this the end of the line for Hitori Gotoh?!

Bocchi finally takes the stage in English, and she’s brought her best friend—crippling anxiety! Hitori Gotoh just wants to be popular, but the thought of interacting with her classmates makes her fall to pieces. Her solution-become a rock legend so cool that people approach her instead! However, while spending all of middle school in her closet shredding on the guitar may have earned her anonymous internet fame, it did nothing for her social skills. Now a high schooler, Hitori’s feeling ready to shrivel up and die-when she gets a sudden request to fill in for a band! It’s like her wish came true-but does this most anxious of introverts have what it takes to perform in front of a live audience?!

Having signed on with the Stray Beat indie label, Kessoku Band is hard at work putting together their first mini-album! To keep their sound fresh, each member of the band is trying their hand at new roles. Faced with the unfamiliar task of arranging their next potential hit, is Hitori “Bocchi” Gotoh in over her head?!

All told, she’s having a good time, in her own socially anxious way. But now Bocchi’s up against her biggest challenge yet—Performing on stage at her school festival!

Published between 1948 and 1985, the volumes document all aspects of film making in Britain from its origins in 1896 to 1939. Rachael Low pioneered the interpretation of films in their context, arguing that to understand films it was necessary to establish their context. Her seven volumes are an object lesson in meticulous research, lucid analysis and accessible style, and have become the benchmark in film history.
