Tamaki is the heir to a Shinto temple, which gives him strange powers—the power of creating magic shields, of fighting evil spirits and summoning good ones. Asahi is his childhood friend, whose bright, sunny disposition keeps Tamaki sane among the depressing situations he encounters…
Krauser II is the lead singer of the superstar death metal band Detroit Metal City, whose songs are all about rape and murder, and whose lyrics are too explicit to reprint anywhere in the universe.
