Get ready for the ear-splittingest, skull-smashingest band to ever
assault your senses! They're Detroit Metal City, the hottest ticket on
the concert circuit! There's just one catch. Beneath the makeup, these
ultimate head bangers are hired doppelgangers who don't even LIKE what
they do! Jaggi is actually Wada, who wants to play Glam Rock; Camus is
Nishida, an anime fan with an appalling weakness for curry and NSFW
videos; and Krauser is… oh the shame!… street-singing Soichi Negishi,
who dreams of singing happy pop! Worse, he can't even tell anyone who
Krauser is. Not even the girl he likes, who HATES DMC! Will rage against
the corporate machine consume Negishi's tortured soul? Is there life
after Death Metal? What it's like to put your head in a jet engine and
turn UP the volume? Find out as angst, amps and anarchy collide in Detroit Metal City.

The devastation is unleashed in the span of seconds. Yielding to
centuries of unrelenting pressure, an ancient rift in the Earth gives
way and a force equivalent to over a thousand atomic bombs erupts
beneath the feet of the citizens of the world’s largest mega-cities!
For the people of the greater Tokyo area, the results are catastrophic
as even “earthquake-proof” buildings sway like weeds in the wind, gas
mains rip open in gouts of flame and huge sections of the city’s vital
infrastructure are torn into shreds. For sister and brother Mirai and
Yuki, it’s the start of a desperate journey back to their parent’s home
in Setagaya. For motorcycle courier Mari, it means an equally frantic
battle towards Sangenjaya and her own daughter and mother. Joining
together in an epic odyssey through the mangled streets, these three
must brave impossible obstacles and endure unspeakable hardships and
heartbreak, with no way of knowing if their loved ones are even still
alive. But they’ve no other choice! In the aftermath of nature’s fury,
only the strongest of will and most courageous of heart can hope to
survive in Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.
