When I very first heard about this heavy metal parody by Kiminori Wakasugi, I was sure I’d be as well grossed out to make it through. The premise, you see, is that nerdy virgin Soichi becomes the vile, repulsive, hateful, misogynist lead singer of a death metal band on stage, however he truly wishes to sing sappy pop songs.
The comedy comes from the contrast between Soichi’s incompetence at so much of life as well as his made-up posturing on-stage. I did have to tamp down my gag reflex when it concerned a few of the foul lyrics spewed by the band, however then I believed about exactly how dumb the listeners were for wanting to hear this outrageous noise. It’s likewise type of a frightening (unintentionally) comment on exactly how far you have to go to purposefully shock people these days.
Surprisingly, I discovered much of the book funny, particularly when incredible coincidences started making Soichi’s life worse. Or his mom phone calls at just the wrong time. Or they point out exactly how quickly a pleased poppy tune becomes a hell chant by altering just a few nouns. I still can’t stand his boss, though.
The chapters are short, a great option to keep things from getting as well meaningful as well as keep the humor punchy. The art is a bit flat, with an emphasis on people looking shocked (open mouth, broad eyes, color on cheeks). This may not be the book for you if you’re put off by obscene language or wimpy protagonists — so much would modification if Soichi would just take some obligation as well as tell people the reality or accept his profession or state no to being bullied. however that’s putting much more believed into this comedy than I believe it wants.
A free copy for this evaluation was offered by the publisher. Here’s a much more extensive review.
