K-On! (けいおん!)
The manga "K-On!" began serialization in Manga Time Kirara in 2007.
It is a slice-of-life manga about a girls' band set in a school music club.

The guitars and basses featured in the series were sold out, and there was a surge in the number of girls starting bands and joining music clubs, creating a social phenomenon.
Additionally, the single "GO! GO! MANIAC" became the first anime character single to reach number one on the Oricon Weekly Single Chart in Japan.
The music from the anime series continues to be highly regarded, with CDs still selling well.

Bocchi The Rock! (ぼっち・ざ・ろっく!)
"Bocchi the Rock!" (abbreviated as "Bozaro"), was started as a serialization in "Manga Time Kirara MAX" in 2018.
The story follows Hitori Goto, a girl who has impressive skills praised as a "Guitar Hero" on video sites. However, she suffers from social anxiety and has no friends.
The manga is often compared to the above manga "K-On!," based on a high school student's life, but "Bocchi the Rock!" centers around a band active in live houses.
In 2022, the manga was adapted into a TV anime, which significantly boosted its popularity.
The CD album by the band Kessoku Band, featured in the series, became a major hit, topping major music charts such as the Oricon and download charts.
The names of the Kessoku Band members such as Hitori Goto and the titles of anime episodes are heavily influenced by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION (the vocal of the band is "Masafumi Goto").
The cover of "Rock'n Roll, Morning Light Falls on You" by the band is included in the album Kessoku Band.
