HERE I C*** HERE I C***, IN YOUR *** IN YOUR MOUTH by fictionalscience on June 7th, 2009, 5:57am

Probably the funniest manga I've ever read in my whole life, every chapter makes me cry laughing X'D X'D X'D X'D X'D

In addition, it refers to real music scenes (the pop bands that Negishi love are real, one really does sometimes play with a tambourine) and parody them pretty accurately (well, maybe dumbed-down accurate XD and magnifies the stupidest parts of them).

The manga is also a lot better than the live action movie, although the movie is actually not bad and pretty funny too, given the limitation that humans can't say "rape" 18 times in 1 second XD

I haven't laughed this hard since Metalocalypse. by marine5958 on January 9th, 2009, 1:50am

I really like how the protagonist is like the polar opposite of the lead singer he plays. I couldn't stop reading and before I knew it I was already on chapter 50+. It's perversely funny.

GO TO DMC by providence on September 15th, 2008, 9:03pm

Simply hilarious. The best parts are when he completely humiliates an opposing band on stage. Be careful when he starts singing that swedish pop crap tho.... truly scary stuff.

Unique. by drunkguy on September 10th, 2008, 6:21am

Poor Negishi. He needs to realize the inherent evil in his music and become the Death Metal God everyone is pushing him to be. If you ever see the movie or the OVA, watch out for his pop songs. They truly are some of the most horrid things ever created.

Krauser-san!! by luzzz on August 31st, 2008, 9:01pm

This manga is absolutely hilarious. Don't be put off by its art. In fact, the art is one of the best things about this manga. Negishi (aka Krauser II) is hilarious in his efforts in juggling the persona of the leader of a heavy metal band and that of a street musician trying to make it as a bubblegum pop star. The situations he gets himself into are just LMAO along with the reactions of his fans. The rest of the characters are all quirky and funny in their own ways. This manga is a must-read!!!

Edit: the later chapters don't seem to be as funny as the earlier ones. Maybe the jokes and situations have become a bit too familiar. Hopefully later chapters will incorporate something new.

Totally agreed. If you thought BECK is weak sauce you have no excuse to not read Detroit Metal City.
