Good God that was hilarious!

I love the part with that American Rock Band and how the image of wrestler Bret Hart appeared from that girl.

This sounds like such a great idea for a comic. I love heavy metal, and it doesn't seem there's ever much of an acknowledgement that there are female heavy metal fans out there. A manga about cute girls who play heavy metal sounds like a fun and potentially hilarious read.
Now to try and muddle through a furigana-free comic...

So....... if light music is already rock 'n roll in Japan, then medium music is considered heavy metal in Japan.........? Laughing

I wouldn't enjoy heavy metal just by reading the manga, i wanna see the anime and hear it myself.

But looking at the poster looks like those are little kids, if they are targeting teenagers using kiddo looks then it's just about the money and not serious as the word / music genre "heavy metal" really means.

This looks promising. I've not even that big a heavy metal fan--not the new/current stuff--always been partial to early (read: pre "black album") Metallica and a lot of stuff from the 80s. But I'd definitely give this franchise a try if...

I know, right? If a certain franchise about a light music club (not knocking it...i admit i _am_ a big fan of Houkago Tea Time...but i ain't gonna lie about it either) can become huge, why _not_ an "anti-K-On!"? Even I acknowledge a welcome chaser, after all that sugar & fluff, that's not afraid to say "your tea and cake is a lie, HTT! Prepare to be rocked!"
