History TearJerker / BocchiTheRock

* While Bocchi's social anxiety is played for laughs, there are moments where it's portrayed in such a realistic way that it's no longer funny and you want to hug the poor girl. Here some examples

** In the first episode, We have a glimpse of her life, she was a lonely girl, she never had friends and the reason she decided to learn the guitar was because she just wanted to be noticed, fortunately her family supports her.
** When she believes she has failed to find a female vocalist, she sings a very depressing song where she calls herself trash.

** Prior to her death, Seika and Nijika's sisterly bond wasn't in a good state, as Seika made Nijika cry by ignoring her in favor of hanging out with her friends and moving away from home, making her resent Seika's band. Noticing this, her mother goes to Seika's place to confront her, however, Seika becomes defensive believing her mom doesn't support her dream of having a band until the mother bluntly states that while she's ok with her making her and her parent mad, she should stop making her little sister cry with her neglectful attitude.
---> '''Seika's mom''':No, Seika. You don't understand.
---> '''Seika''':I do get it.
---> '''Seika's mom''':No, you don't understand at all.
---> '''Seika''':And I just Said I do
---> '''Seika's mom''':Then stop making Nijika cry already.
** Seika last interaction with her mother, Her mother asked her if she could invite Nijika to the live show. Seika just said: "''If I feel I like it, I guess''". Shortly after, her mother dies and during her mother's funeral, Seika laments that was the last thing was what she said to her mother.
---> '''Seika''':I wonder why I couldn't have just told her "yes" back then.
** To deal with her mother's passing, Seika fully devotes to the band and tries to act like nothing happened in an attempt to avert her eyes from the reality of her passing.
** At least Seika has support from her friends. After the funeral, Nijika was left alone to deal with her mother's passing, as her dad is busy at work and Seika is far away with her band, this leading to [[DespairEventHorizon her breaking down emotionally]] and [[{{Hikikomori}} choosing to stay home forever and not go to school anymore]], forcing the dad to call Seika and ask to help her sister. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Small wonder Seika is hit as hard when she finally realizes that she's been neglecting her sister and running away from her mother's death.]]

* Despite being somewhat PlayedForLaughs, the first glimpse we get of sober Hiroi in Chapter 69 is rather sad. She's implied to be suffering from withdrawal, rather subdued, and the noisy party girl has been replaced with a shy, awkward woman who barely does any more talking than necessary. Despite it being [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]] that she was willing to deal with sobriety like that for Kessoku Band, it shows that beneath her drunken bravado she's still the nervous teenage wreck inside, and a reminder of what Hitori could be if she took the same easy road Hiroi did.
