The rest of the band is nowhere to be seen, so Koyuki decides to head up on stage at Greatful Sound by himself. With nothing but an acoustic guitar, he starts singing the Beatles' "I've Got a Feeling." Before he even finishes, the band joins him on stage, unable to resist the siren song of music. Saku backs him up on the drums. After a few minutes, Taira adds his funky bass to the mix. Then, Ryusuke approaches the stage bearing the famous guitar Lucille. Finally, Chiba arrives, completing the once invincible group. The band rips into their own material, working the crowd--and themselves--into a frenzy. Could this once-in-a-lifetime performance bring the band back together once and for all?
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.
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.

My local Borders has a habit of stocking manga on the shelfs early, this is most likely illegal...But I bought this Beck vol. 11 last weekend...IT'S AWESOME!
