Description
Biographical Note:
Kiminori Wakasugi was born in Oita Prefecture in 1975. In 1998, he was the recipient of the Incentive Award, one of
Young Magazine's monthly manga awards. In that same year, he debuted with
Boku no Migite wo Shirimasenka? (Do You Know Where My Right Hand Is?) in
Young Magazine Zokan Aka BUTA. After working as a manga assistant, in 2004 he (somewhat irregularly) released
Amaresu Ken-chan (Ken the Amateur Wrestler) in
Young Magazine Uppers, and the following year, he began the death metal-themed gag manga
Detroit Metal City, which runs in
Young Animal. With its distinct style, explicit dialogue and '80s era manga parodies, this series has gained immense cult popularity, especially on the Internet.
Marc Notes:
8; Soichi Negishi dreamed of moving to Tokyo and starting up a bubblegum pop band, so what's he doing playing in Detroit Metal City, the most scandalous, outrageous and demonic death metal band on the Japanese music scene?; Translated from the Japanese.
