Description
From Tokyopop:
For the first 14 years of his life, Yukio Tanaka has been one heck of a boring guy. He has no hobbies, weak taste in music, and only a small vestige of a personality. He yearns for an exciting life, but his shy, and somewhat neurotic personality makes him his own worst enemy. Little does he know that his life will be forever changed when he meets Ryusuke Minami, a wild and unpredictable 16-year old fresh from America, who happens to be in a rock-and-roll band named after his Frankenstein-like patched dog--Beck.

This is a really nice story. The art fine but it is a bit weird, it got better later though.

But if the music part is hard for you to get into, you may watch the Anmie adaption cuz the music there is surprising good. Have fun.

I've been waiting to read all of the series when I had the chance and the later volumes were just as great as the beginning ones. It gives me the goosebumps on the character interaction and development. The twists and turns in the plot were also great. A recommended read for people who wish to read a great manga series.

Dont care what anyone says - this manga rocked = the ending too - the only thing i would have asked for is more of Koyoki and Maho -

The only downside to this would have to be that you cannot actually experience the music as you can in the Anime - i actually saw the anime first when it was first on the air - just read the manga start to finish in the last 4 days - i really really hope they come back and do a second season to the Anime so we can hear more great songs!@

Definitly an inspiring story and a great read - i had goose bumps through 70%~!~

This is really the best music manga which was ever made. I am looking forward to the next volumes but i think it is going to end soon. Hopefully it wont´t go on forever and end in a mess. But if Sakuishi has some good ideas to run this story for a few years more...it would be great^^

This one is so good! I spend all my free time waiting for new releases and when I got it I enjoy a lot reading it listening at the same time the soundtrack from the anime... The anime made me love the manga more than before... beacause it's a manga about Rock it's great to listen the songs associated to the story!
(sorry if my english is not that good... but I'm french!)
Bye and enjoy Beck!!!

I originally watched the anime years ago, but recently picked up the manga, and i'm really diggin' it. I recommend both anime and manga, but i wish they would do another season of the anime as well...i felt that the music was pretty good on the show

very good character development. I really like how the magnaka is a huge fan of the chili peppers. and the art is superb. great story for any band junkies out there.

i still droll over Lucille wonderful guitar and they look exactly like their real life counterparts.


hell the soundtrack from the anime is great too. I have it on my Ipod

Greatest Music Manga!

When it comes to music, BECK is the best manga there is!

The drawing in the first part is not that good, you'll just have to bare with it for a while.. but as the story goes on the drawing will improve.. a lot, together with the story.
