BECK:Mongolian Chop Squad Volume 1

BECK:Mongolian Chop Squad Volume 1

Fourteen-year-old Yukio Tanaka is one heck of a boring guy. He has no hobbies, a weak taste in music, and only a small vestige of a personality. 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 rocker Ryusuke Minami, an unpredictable sixteen-year-old with a cool dog named Beck. Ryusuke has just returned to Japan from America, and when he inspires Yukio to get into music, the two begin a journey through the world of rock 'n' roll dreams.... Lace up your Docs and head to the mosh pit--Harold Sakuishi's highly addictive manga series that spawned a hit anime has finally reached the States!

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 make 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.

Harold Sakuishi is one of Japan's most talented creators. His knack for three-dimensional characters and incredibly detailed artwork (take a look at the musical intruments in Beck!) have made his books -- Gorillaman, Bakaichi, and Stopper Busujima -- quite popular.

English Version By: Jay Antani

Yukio Tanaka
Yukio is a completely average 14-year-old boy, nicknamed "Koyuki." His life has been pretty dull... But everything changes when he meets Beck! No, not the famous singer, but a patchwork, Frankenstein-looking dog. Beck's owner, Ryusuke, changes Koyuki's life forever. Soon, Koyuki becomes a budding musician in a band called BECK!

Ryusuke Minami
Ryusuke has played in various underground rock bands. He's cool and edgy, and Koyuki is in awe of him--both as a persona and as a musician. He's responsible for Koyuki's newfound interest in music.

Izumi
Yukio has had a crush on Izumi since they were in elementary school. She's cute and sweet, and she gave him the nickname "Koyuki." She's into rock music, and because of her, Koyuki delves deeper into the world of music.

Beck
Ryusuke's loyal, stiched-together dog. He's the glue that stuck everyone together.

Tanabe
Koyuki's trouble-making school friend.
