But everything changes once he meets another bassist named Ryo. Now Y/N tries to secure a better future through his band while uncovering the layers of Ryo's mind, and maybe something even more.

Hiroko Hayasaka is a first year student attending Shuka High School who only has one goal: to graduate high school, get a job and live a happy life. But on one fateful day, he accidentally but luckily ran into the one and only, everyone's favorite... Hitori Gotoh! During their first interaction together, Hiroko discovered that he wasn't the only person who had social anxiety and struggled to socialize with others. Even though the conversation between the both of them was short, it motivated him to talk to her even more, and become her friend! Or... Maybe even more? This fanfic was inspired by the Bocchi The Love Story! and The Two Introverts.

Unexpectedly created this during my free time, and also the fact that I'm in love with the series! Just wanted to publish this, very unsure if I wanna continue it later down the line but here we go... Synopsis: Our household favorite introvert rock n' roll chick ( Gotou Hitori ) was at a fine place in her life. She has a band who are also her friends, she's making progress in creating more friendships in school. And she was always improving her guitar skillset at a steady pace! She never would've thought that her life would ever reach this point but she's at her most happiest right now, and believes that things will get better from here on out! However, much to her dismay ( soon to be delight ), a new transferee student waltzed into her class and was now seated next to her, thereby, making him her seatmate and vice versa. The boy was the complete opposite of her. Extrovert energy that could shake up the gods, charming personality that could enrapture girls' hearts, and sheer confidence that towers above her non-existent one. To the readers, this will be a love story. To introverts like Bocchi however? This might just turn into a horror.

Rowan Sukan wasn't planning on getting involved. A transfer student with a sharp tongue and a tendency to keep people at arm's length, he's content to drift through school unnoticed. That is, until he meets Hitori Gotoh, the painfully shy guitarist whose social anxiety is matched only by her raw talent. She's awkward. He's aloof. She speaks in whispers. He hides behind jokes. They come from different worlds. But this is a description, not spoilers. Let's just say: sometimes, the people we least expect end up changing everything.
