BECK is back!

He has no hobbies, 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 manga series that spawned the hit anime is back!
Time is definitely not on Beck's side! With less than a month until Greatful Sound, the members of the band, particularly Ryusuke, are feeling the stress. With nothing to do and nowhere to go, Koyuki would rather be sedated than try to finish writing the lyrics to "Out of the Hole." Meanwhile, Ryusuke's unease stems from the terms of the deal he made with Leon Sykes to get on the bill at Greatful Sound. When the fateful rock festival finally arrives, Koyuki makes a potentially dangerous deal of his own with Yoshito. Will a sudden downpour help love to reign over him?
