Bocchi the Rock! Side Story: Kikuri Hiroi's Heavy-Drinking Diary
NO ALCOHOL, NO MUSIC! Kikuri Hiroi-genius bassist of Sick Hack, terror of concert venues, eternal deadbeat, and all-around poor role model-has always believed there’s no problem you can’t drink your way out of. The world might be dull and depressing, but whether it’s the failing economy, overdue rent, or just plain ol’ social anxiety, a quick trip around the spiral of happiness will help everything work itself out in the end, right? Surely her personal life isn’t a total disaster...right?! Find out in this freewheeling spin-off of Bocchi the Rock!
Rai Rai Rai
Sumire Ichigaya’s got it tough. She’s drowning in debt, surrounded by noisy neighbors, fighting for discount supermarket meals, and working a dead-end job exterminating space vermin left over from a failed alien invasion. It seems like things just can’t get any worse—until she’s abducted by aliens and wakes up with a monstrous new arm and a voice in her head urging her to kill all of humanity!

On a snowy Christmas Eve, a former police officer is murdered. A suspect is arrested, and the case seems closed, until the victim’s daughter discovers a letter from her father claiming that anyone on a certain list who is arrested and prosecuted is innocent.
