Anyone have any suggestions? I know that NANA is the most popular and I also read Othello. Are there any other books?

i think Beck (or something) is one.

i'm not sure.



But to despair was to wish back for something already lost.
Or to prolong what was already unbearable.

Mongolian Chop Squad!!! xD

Um, FLCL has a lot of old rock references. Not sure that'd help much though.

Also, Cowboy Bebop is good for jazz, considering bebop is a type of jazz. x]

Wow, loads of replies!

I have yet to read Beck but it has earned loads of praise. I might. I have read FLCL but it makes my head hurt. Too random.

There's also Gravitation, that's another good rock and roll-esque manga series

And Macross is also about music, although it's very different from does presented here, it's like Gundam meets music.

They're good suggestions music-themed generally, but aren't exactly rock and roll music themed series hun
