Alright i'm going to make this brief. I made it to chapter 55, and a vast majority of those chapters were highly entertaining. The author definitely knows how to set up jokes and funny situations, i'll give him that. I went into this with some high expectations as Beck is one of my favorite manga's, and this is in the same genre and had a good score and some nice reviews.

That being said, I was not a fan of the content of the manga. The author was clearly trying to over-emphasize the parody of death metal lyrics. It's not like i was offended by the lyrics, but they just got so repetitive seeing them every chapter. And because you get tired of seeing the MC just screaming murder, rape, kill over and over again, even the enjoyment of the absurdity of the entire situation starts to fade.

Speaking of the MC, he.... sucks. Just straight up not enjoyable to read when he's not acting as his role of lead singer for the band. And in the 55 chapters I read (which is basically half the story), there wasn't even an *attempt* to change his character. And if there's no character development in a story, no matter how funny it is, you are going to start asking yourself "what's the point?, why am I reading this?", which is exactly what happens here. This definitely did have potential, but honestly? What's the point of reading about an MC being forced to produce music he doesn't even like for 120 chapters? If he started to change, to appreciate the type of music he was producing, if his character started to change to match his stage persona... then it would have been different. But if it hadn't even *started* by chapter 55.... well, even if it finishes with him having some minor development, the story has lost me as a reader. You can't sandbag your character development until the last 80% and expect to keep readers.

As for the art, it is basically the definition of mediocre. It's not awful, but it's by no means good.

Basically, if you're just looking for some quick laughs and aren't offended by an extreme parody of death metal lyrics, check out the first 25-50 chapters. But if you're looking for an actual story, something to compare to say, Beck, don't bother.
