Bocchi the Rock! is getting a movie next year that focuses on the back stories of Nijika and Seika Ijichi.

Titled Bocchi the Rock! Hoshi no Ashiato, this film functions as an adaptation of the story found at the end of volume five of the manga. Original author Aki Hamaji remarked that she actually thought of the story on the way back from recording for the eight episode of the anime. Shin Wakabayashi (Wonder Egg Priority) is the director over at CloverWorks.

Animation producer Shouta Umehara confirmed on X that work on the second season is proceeding separately to the film.
