Lace up your Docs and head to the mosh pit-Harold Sakuishi's manga series that spawned the hit anime is back!
With brass in pocket, Beck's popularity is snowballing: CD sales are up in the U.S., and they keep booking great gigs. But not all is what it really seems to be. Eddie has a message for Ryusuke, and it doesn't sound like fan mail. Ryusuke's bullet-ridden guitar and secret weapon, Lucille, has an admirer that will stop at nothing to get her. Meanwhile, Maho has a new suitor ... but do all the best cowboys really have Chinese eyes? Saku and Koyuki share more than a lust for life—they are chasing the same girl. What else can happen to Beck? Is a U.S. tour in the works?
