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 inspires Yukio to get into music, and the two begin a journey through the world of rock ‘n’ roll dreams! Harold Sakuishi’s highly addictive manga series, that spawned the hit anime BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, will be completed for the first time in English with comiXology Originals bringing the additional volumes 15-34 in the next year.
