Manga = Beck(Mongolian Chop Squad)



Just today i finished reading this 102 page manga which includes an extra chapter. Overall it is one of the best manga i have ever read and thats saying a lot considering ive read well over 200-300 manga series. Though currently im still reading only about 50 different series.

Anyways this is one manga that is for those who love a good story and also love almost any style of rock and the history that comes with it. The basis of the story surrounds a kid named Koyuki who joins a band named Beck(named after a dog belonging to one of their members) thats trying to get on their way to stardom. On their way to acheive that goal they experience many hardships, rivals, and enemies but overall its one of my top 3 favorite manga out of the 200-300 ive read

also if you finish the manga watch the anime which sadly only covers 20-23 of the chapters but its also equally an excellent anime to watch considering how they present the music and how realistic the guitars look

Overall the manga is a must read for anyone who likes to read a story thats able to move them into laughter and get a reaction out of them with the turn of every page. And when your done the anime will make you fall in love with the series all over again. The last thing to get would be the OST for the anime which includes every song performed in the anime which in my opinion transcends language barriers to prove to be some great music to listen to.

My rating for this series including the manga, anime, and OST is 5 Stars


And here is the Opening intro for the anime which probably uses a song that will remain stuck in your head for weeks after you finish watching the anime.
