I'm old enough to have seen <i>Spinal Tap</i> in a movie theater during its original run, so raunchy roll-n-roll spoofs don't offend me. Some of the sexual humor doesn't resonate with my sensibilities, but as I noted in my review of volumes two and three (as well as my <a href="http://mangacritic.com/?p=629" rel="nofollow">original review</a> of volume one), I've still found plenty to like about this series.

But considering the worst sexual part mainly consist of krauser dry humping somebody or the tokyo tower let us not take any of it seriously. Also is specially ironic when krauser ends up becoming the moral character of the story, be that trying to prevent an actress he admires from doing a nude scene, making up excuses to not have sex with his fans or saving the day at certain festival on a later arc. And the author by having krauser being so outrageously "evil" he can get away with this. DMC does crude humor very well i think.

Some are hysterical (Krauser bringing a gift basket to a kid who's facing surgery, Negishi advising his brainless younger bro dressed as Krauser), some are just too crudely sexual for me to find very funny, and some are great until the last few panels when Krauser (or someone else) violates a rival. I definitely enjoy it more in small doses than a volume at a time. The more I read of DMC, the more I’m finding the chapters uneven.

I remember that AWESOME scene of Krauser riding a tractor from volume 1 and I am tempted, but then I remember the chapter where the manager destroys Negishi's apartment and violates his neighbor and then I'm not so keen. :) With comments like “whether Wakasugi is parodying rap or poking fun at celebrity role models — the sight of Krauser bringing a gift basket to a bedridden fan is just too sublimely silly to miss” you make me want to give DMC another shot.
