1. Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad
I’ve been a fan of anime and manga for as long as I can remember. My favorite genre is seinen coming of age, especially the classic ones something like Beck. Well, what is Beck?! Well, Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad is an anime that premiered in 2004 and ended in 2005. It follows the story of a group of friends who start a rock band. They struggle to make ends meet while living in poverty until they join the band BECK, which changes all of their lives forever.
The show has been praised for its characters, music, and animation and it is one of my favorite anime shows of all time too. I would recommend this show because it has a realistic storyline without any major twists or turns that keep you on your toes! It has an amazing soundtrack with some really catchy tunes too.
And while talking about Beck, it is a great anime show with an intriguing storyline, but it’s even better in manga form. With the help of artist Harold Sakuishi, who also created the series Seven Shakespeares and Stopper Busujima, the story is brought to life through beautiful drawings that give us more insight into what goes on inside the minds of these characters. That said, I recommend this manga for anyone who loves Beck! Just give it a go.
