Beck #28

Harold Sakuishi's beloved music manga rolls into its 28th volume with a cover that perfectly captures the series' soul — a young guitarist in a blue hoodie cradling a worn red electric guitar, his profile set against a backdrop of rough, tattooed imagery that hints at the raw world of rock and roll. There's something quietly compelling about the way Sakuishi frames this moment, balancing youth and grit in a single, understated image. This 2009 Delcourt edition is a fine entry point into one of manga's most heartfelt explorations of music, ambition, and growing up.
