Synopsis

Hiroki Yamada, a 15-year-old freshman step into Sakuragawa High School with a burning passion for music, fueled by memories of his late older brother, Kaito Yamada, who taught him guitar and singing. Inspired by bands like Muse, Deftones, Radiohead, and so on.

On his first day of entrance, a peculiar girl with a black surgical eyepatch named Aoi Mizuno "The Priestess" confronts him, declared him as the "Dark Lord of Tartarus" from their middle school roleplaying days. This encounter drags Hiroki’s cringeworthy chuunibyou past into the present, setting the stage for a heartfelt and comedic music-driven journey.

Joining the Light Music Club of Sakuragawa, Hiroki navigates friendships, lingering grief, and his reawakened chuunibyou tendencies, culminating in a transformative performance where he channels his inner "Dark Lord" on stage.

Note from author

I took massive inspiration from various anime/manga like K-On! + Bocchi The Rock + Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai + Nana + Bandori. Due to my obsession with music-themed anime, but also my passion with music in general. Whilst adding a flair of dramatic chuunibyou on my book to relive my childhood.

Before anyone of you asking. Yes, I use the help of AI Generation. Not for the soul of this story (because all ideas are purely mine), but to enhance my raw draft.

But still, AI Generation are often imperfect where I still had to rewrite, grammar checks, paraphrasing, etc. with AI Assisted tool (Quillbot) to fit with my story direction.

Note: After chapter 15 volume 2, I will not use AI Generation at all. Only using AI Assisted tool.

CW: Swearing, abuses, depression, manipulation, violences, sex.
