MCS: BECK’s Harold Sakuishi Has a Sense of Humor

April 30, 2009

I finally got to read the last volume of Mongolian Chop Squad: Beck the other night, much to my surprise (I hadn’t been expecting a scanlation anytime soon.)  It is one of my favorite manga, especially in the genre of music as it partially inspired me to take up the guitar.  I’m not a fan of how it ended, but it is what it is and regardless, I was able to enjoy the series as a whole.  Anyway, while reading through the second to last chapter, I stumbled across this:

Hiro
Hiro Nakamura

Why, it’s everyone’s favorite time traveler, Hiro Nakamura in the first panel!  Seems like Harold Sakuishi is a fan of Heroes and is inspired a lot by US pop culture (MCS:Beck draws a lot of inspiration from the Red Hot Chili Peppers according to Sakuishi).
