Bocchi the Rock!

Bocchi the Rock has many similarities to K-on on paper, such as there being CGDCT and slice of life tropes, a musical band of high school girls, and lighthearted, fun characterization being prioritized over a deep or complex storylines. The cast of characters exude a similar vibe to their K-on analogues a la Ritsu and Mio to some extent. One notable difference would be that Hitori, the main character, is sort of the antithesis to Yui, the main character from K-on. Whereas Yui was an outgoing type of girl who lacked any experience in guitar, Hitori is introduced as a seasoned guitar player who has social anxiety and struggles with it. Much of the comedy, at least in episode one, is mainly focused on how she deals with this trait of hers. The jokes in this anime are relatable and if you are an introvert with social anxiety yourself, you may slightly cringe as some of the jokes may strike a chord, so to speak. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who has seen K-on, enjoyed it, and wants more.
