Even Gene Simmons of KISS guest-stars as the "Demon God of Rock & Roll" in the live-action adaptation of this manga of the same name, as created by Kiminori Wakasugi - DETROIT METAL CITY debuts on-screens August 23rd 2008 ~ CLICK HERE FOR VIDEOS & TRAILERS Ken'ichi Matsuyama (who plays "L" in Deathnote) is Sōichi Negishi/Johannes Krauser II.
With the popularity of DMC increases, Negishi starts worrying his double personalities can have negative effects on his (romantic) life off stage." However, for some reason he became the singer and songwriter of a metal band named "Detroit Metal City," with a stage name "Johannes Krauser II." Whenever he wears the heavy makeup, Negishi becomes a completely different person, shouting the most vulgar profanities beyond anyone's imagination. "Sōichi Negishi is a shy young man who came from the rural Ota Prefecture to Tokyo for college and wished to become a kindergarten teacher. and while I may not have been able to decipher the actual text (any help would be appreciated - thanks), I found myself being drawn into the fictional glam-rock metal world of DETROIT METAL CITY.

The language will make your ears bleed (and you're reading it not hearing it), and the absurdity of it all will have you laughing and loving it (or you'll be staging riots of protest - did you not step away and wash your hands like I instructed?).All I'd wanted to do initially was to find out why there were 2 different face-designs for the SF seen in Series 16 and another found on the DMC website (seen left). The band's image is a bit like KISS, but the mindset sends you straight to Hell with GWAR. The art is a little more detailed and fluid than Metalocalypse. They try a replacement, and Soichi can't stand seeing the quick downturn spiral of DMC and the reaction of the fans, so once again he slips into costume and enters, turning the whole scenario into something he fans are quick to turn into a fantastical story - they all see it as real. Soichi even tries to quit the band and leave that deplorable side of himself behind. Even if that challenge is from an old friend, he spares no humiliation and degradation to put his foes in their place. Soichi tries to stop it all but his "day" self is such a pansy pushover, he has to put on his Krauser II make-up in order to feel any sense of power - but that persona is quick to take over and things soon get out of hand (which is just how Krauser II likes it). Other bands want to put a stop to DMC, Krauser II and the evil he and his fan base stand for. His fans are crazy, and often get him to do things as Krauser II that he was trying to avoid - like rape the Tokyo Tower (oh, and it is hilarious!). His other band members have their own reasons for being in DMC, and don't understand why Soichi's not living it up more. She uses the C-word and talks about how his music makes her all wet - and if she doesn't get turned on by his rape/kill spree music then she gets fighting mad. The rest of us will rave about the evil, the smut, and the humor this manga wraps up into a not-so-pretty package. If you're easily offended by such then put the book down, wash your hands, and hope your god doesn't smite you where you stand.
If that doesn't make you want to read this then you need to go back to the shojo section. The back cover has a fat balding guy wearing a ball gag, fishnets, heels, and a mask. Like Metalocalypse? Then you should enjoy the raunchy mature humor of Detroit Metal City. Like GWAR? Then you'll love Detroit Metal City. I saw the cover and immediately knew this was going to be my kind of manga. Grade: 9Soichi Negishi is a sweet mild-mannered boy until he puts on his stage make-up, becomes Krauser II, blasts death metal, and pseudo-rapes everything in sight.
