I like the fact they actually pay Bocchi back. I thought her not getting paid back would just be a constantly running joke.

[@Manavine]

I think she didn't "truly" get paid back, the manager turned the debt they owe Bocchi into a debt they owe the manager. That or their profits were cut into

[@raisofahri5797]

[@Howardtheone]

I'd imagine the two bassists being broke will continue to be a running joke though

[@senny-]

I think one of the reason of this show's success is that they don't overuse jokes. I can NEVER predict when the next punchline will be. Even the ways Bocchi breaks down is different each time (she shakes, she screeches, she explodes, she turns into a 3D model and crashes into a wall)

[@FengLengshun]

If the manga was less good, it probably would be. Instead, it becomes such a long set-up brick joke instead. That is so perfect.

It became the standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military in 1957, replacing the M1 Garand rifle in service with the U.S. Army by 1958 and the U.S. Marine Corps by 1965. The M14 was used by the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps for Basic and Advanced Individual Training from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s.

Being a bassist is a vicious cycle of not having money to live on because you had to spent it all on debt, maintenance and/or alcohol, asking for money, and not being able to pay off debt in time. As a bassist myself I know this cycle well😅

[@narukamishirou284]

I was expecting that Bocchi would also point at Ryo for also owing her and it was hilarious the way she said about the drunk senpai “No, if it’s from her I’m no longer…” but then looked at Ryo and the cat ear also appeared on her😅😅😅😅😅😅

Reasons I started learning bass: 1. Guitar looked too hard 2. Bass looked more simple/less maintenance 3. Broke college student 4. Everyone played guitar and I just wanted friends so I chose the instrument that not many people played ;-;

@@nokia.s3350 I have a bass guitar and an electric guitar. Aside from a standard bass being more expensive than a usual electric guitar, the strings and amplifiers are even more expensive. Electric guitar strings will cost me Php 500. Bass guitar strings cost around Php 2,500. My electric guitar was Php 17,000 while my bass was around Php 30,000. Yikes. My amplifier for electric guitar was around Php 6,000 while my bass guitar amplifier was for Php 10,000. No wonder bassists are poor LOL. Not to mention, the pedals which I don't even have.
