Ice Bath Bocchi is Back! AOZORAGEAR Unveils New 'Bocchi the Rock!' Hitori Gotoh Merch

AOZORAGEAR, the brand known for its quirky outdoor gear featuring anime characters, always drops buzzworthy items. Their previous releases for the massively popular Houbunsha series "Bocchi the Rock!" – like the Bocchi's Ripe Mango Cardboard Box Backpack and the Onikoroshi Sake Shoulder Pouch – were huge hits.

Now, they're back with a new series themed around "Hitori Gotoh's Ice Bath," featuring three apparel items. These will debut at AnimeJapan 2025, with online orders opening on their official website after the event on March 25. 

Fans of "Bocchi the Rock!" will instantly recognize this iconic scene from Episode 2, "See You Tomorrow."
After forming Kessoku Band with Nijika Ijichi and Ryo Yamada, Hitori Gotoh was invited to work part-time at STARRY to help fund their activities. Our socially awkward protagonist, desperate to avoid work, decided to take an ice bath the night before, hoping to catch a cold and get out of it. Spoiler alert: it totally didn't work, and she still showed up for her shift the next day! LOL.

This new lineup includes a glass, a storage pouch, and a T-shirt, all featuring Bocchi's classic ice bath expression. Simple yet playful designs perfect for any fan's collection.

▼ Glass: 1,980 JPY

▼ Storage Pouch: 1,650 JPY

▼ T-Shirt: 4,290 JPY
