Plot Summary: SÅichi Negishi is a shy young man who came from the rural Ota Prefecture to Tokyo for college and wished to become a kindergarten teacher. 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. With the popularity of DMC increases, Negishi starts worrying his double personalities can have negative effects on his (romantic) life off stage.
This is the funniest manga I’ve read, it’s always funny to see how one man can become the most extreme of 2 very contradicting personalities!! Especially when his good side starts to reveal his dark side, it always turn disastrous but somehow, he’d always end up able to cover up very well, yohohoho.
The good news is, DMC will get an anime and live-action movie, and the main character, Negishi, will be played by Ken’ichi Matsuyama, the guy who played L from Death Note movies and of course, L Change the World. It sure sounds like an exciting movie to me, I’d really like to see how Matusaya plays Negishi after being able to play L excellently!!
