Bocchi the Rock! , which began airing in October of this year and is considered to be the dominant anime of the season, has been the subject of some rather strange rumors. The results of various collaborations have led to the suspicion of "collaborations that bring misfortune".
Bocchi the Rock! is a series about a girl band with the catchphrase " If you're a shady character, rock on!" ». It is the first anime from the Manga Time Kirara family of magazines to become a hit in many years, and it is increasingly appearing in magazines and media outlets. For the rumor in question, one could cite, for example, Ichijinsha 's “ Purizm ” entertainment magazine .
On October 18, a great report about Bocchi the Rock! in the twelfth edition of the magazine that included the protagonist on the cover, but the magazine stopped publishing with this edition . The suspension of the publication was probably decided in advance, but the timing is unusual.
In addition, M-On Entertainment 's publication of the anime music magazine Lisani! , is also being developed in a similar way. This magazine ceased to be published regularly on paper after the 50th edition, published on November 15 in Japan. Curiously, this last edition was focused on Bocchi the Rock! . In the future, only very special editions of this magazine will be published on paper, and the basic format will be distribution via the Internet.
It's a strange feeling that a magazine that has been around for over a decade, since its launch in 2010, reaches its end with Bocchi the Rock! . Of course, the so-called "collaborations of death" of this franchise are not limited to magazines. The video game for smartphones " Kirara Fantasia ", which features a stellar cast of characters from the Manga Time Kirara , has also suffered this strange fate.
The video game was released in 2017 and has been collaborating with various productions of Manga Time Kirara magazines for five years . On October 12, the arrival of the characters of “ Bocchi the Rock! “. However, less than a month later, on November 4, the end of the video game servers was announced.
The service is scheduled to continue until February 28, 2023, but the coincidence is so bad that it seems as if Bocchi the Rock! would have brought misfortune to the title. Of course, comments like: " It's as if collaborating with Bocchi brings misfortune "; « This is too much fun »; « Oh my god, it's like an announced risk to collaborate with the Kessoku Band ».
