the main protagonist, 23 years old, originally from Osaka . A quiet, peaceful musician, a lover of Swedish pop music, a virgin, who has a completely opposite alter ego - Johann Krauser II, the leader of the death metal band Detroit Metal City. Negishi is very ashamed of his work in the band and the plot does not reveal exactly how he got there, but it is clear that Negishi does not like this kind of work, and he constantly tries to leave the band, despite the growing popularity, hiding it from everyone except the band members.

The main character is Souichi Negishi, an aspiring musician who is into pop music, respectful of his mother and neighbors, and in love with a former classmate who also loves pop music. Due to life circumstances, he is forced to play the role of a guitarist and vocalist in the death metal band Detroit Metal City , write (in collaboration with a female producer) lyrics of "brutal content" (which are remade from Souichi's tender and personal lyrics), perform on stage in demonic makeup, and pretend to be a serial killer and rapist. At the same time, no one is interested in the lyrics and music performed in his favorite genre, but DMC is extremely popular. The plot revolves around the conflicting interests of Souichi, classmate Yuri Aikawa, and Souichi's stage role, which permeates his everyday life.is the main protagonist, 23 years old, originally from Osaka .

1. Face and makeup Skin color : absolutely white, almost deathly pale, which creates the impression of a doll or corpse mask. Makeup : distinctly gothic or black metal style: Deep black eyeshadow around the eyes, highlighting the look and giving the face an evil expression. The mouth is outlined in black paint with pointed corners, creating the demon's "grin". On the forehead, the symbol殺is the kanji for "killing" (satsu), symbolizing the aggressive and dark theme of the character.
2. Hair Long, straight, golden yellow, almost reaching the waist. The hair is emphasized smooth, with clear lines, creating the feeling of a Scandinavian deity or a vampire in the style of heavy metal.
3. Suit Colour scheme : black, grey and red – classic for metal aesthetics. Armor-like clothing : The metal breastplate with dark stripes (similar to ribs) creates an image somewhere between a knight and an android. The shoulders are voluminous, with a touch of futurism and theatricality. Red petal/feather decorations placed on the chest, waist and hips contrast with the cold armor and add "theatrical aggression". Cape : long, purple or dark blue, flutters behind, emphasizing the drama of the image. Gloves : white with black nails - something between zombie and harlequin hands. Shoes : High metal boots, streamlined, with white or light gray knee pads - futuristic and grotesque.
4. Accessories The microphone (on the first cover) and the guitar (on the second) are symbols of his role on stage. The guitar is decorated with glitter and red details, giving it a sinister and outrageous look. His postures are always active, threatening or aggressive - as if he is ready to attack or tear up the scene.
5. General impression He looks like the epitome of the stereotypical "satanic" black metal frontman: Demonic, grotesque, ornate. A mix of heavy metal, gothic and theatrical hyperbole aesthetics. But in the context of the manga, all this is played out with irony and humor - in contrast to the inner "soft" character of the main character, which is hidden under this image.
