When i herd about D.M.C. I wasn't expecting much and i was wrong. I read many many different mangas but this is my firs review that is because this manga blew my mind, this manga is on a completely on different level.
When you' re reading detroit metal city you will find that there' s only one way to describe it "LEGENDАRY"!

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

These were the only words i could think when I came to the final page of the last volume of Detroit Metal City. It's main story revolving around my favorite genre of music (metal) would be enough to keep my interest all the way through, but it's constant humor (dark humor is most predominant) made me want to read this story all the way through.

Story 9/10
Antics involving The band DMC (mostly their singer) and the die-hard fans kept me turning the pages.

Art 7/10
You're basic manga art.

... Characters 10/10
The main characters constant struggle between his dark side and socially accepted side was the main character portrayal in this manga. Not much character development happens.

Enjoyment 10/10
The only reason I enjoyed this so much was because I'm a fan of both metal music and dark humor. If you don't like at least one you're probably not going to have a good time reading this manga.

Overall 9/10

Cointains spoiler
It had potential but the stupidity of the mc ruined everything.

Nothing ever changes in the story; there is no character development and there is no story progress.
The mc is exactly the same from the first episode to the last.

It is funny even though the humor is very repetitive so after a while the only good aspect also vanishes. The first two volume in and you already know what are all the gags that are going to be used.

If you want just some laugh you can give it a try but if you want any story development/progress there is none.
I would suggest ... to watch the ovas. Less time consuming and pretty much the same. I feel like they are even better than the manga in delivering the comedy.
After a while you are also going to feel bad for the other characters that did nothing wrong but are often bullied by the mc because he is weak as hell and can compete only towards someone weaker than him.

I had so much hope for this but all for nothing. A complete delusion.

Art is old but some panels are very well drawn.
Story as i said there is none.
Characters are very bad especially the MC.
