Beck
Harold Sakuishi
Born in Aichi prefecture, 1969
BECK was serialized in a monthly boys magazine for a period of nine years between 1999 and 2008. The story revolves around the protagonist Koyuki, an average young boy with no redeeming quality nor particular interest, who meets Minami Ryusuke, a guitarist who influences him to start a rock band with his friends, through which he explores his latent talent as a vocalist. Sakuishi takes advantage of the silent nature of manga and encourages the reader to imagine the “depicted sounds” by employing onomatopoeia or using an entire page to boldly depict the performers. He also depicts the expressions of the performers and the audiences alternately between the stage and the stands to give the live feeling of oneness between them.
