Titan Manga has officially revealed the cover art and several preview pages for the English release of Kasuga Dragon’s (also known as Kasuga Ryo) comedy action manga, Isekai Metaller. The announcement, made on Wednesday, August 20, builds anticipation for the series’ debut in English, with the first volume set to launch on October 14, 2025.
Enter the World of “Isekai Metaller”
The Isekai Metaller manga centers on Alex, a devoted metalhead whose life takes an unexpected turn after being electrocuted during his band’s farewell concert. Instead of a typical afterlife, Alex awakens in a fantastical new world brimming with dragons, werewolves, and various monsters—a setting described as a “metalhead’s dream.”
A New World, A New Gig
In this vibrant new realm, the one thing conspicuously absent is heavy metal music itself. Fortunately, Alex arrives armed with his trusty “Flying V” guitar and an inexplicable “level 999 power boost.” He promptly decides to “crank the volume up to eleven” and utilize his musical prowess to combat the monstrous inhabitants, effectively turning every battle into a rock concert. The series is poised to deliver a unique blend of “epic isekai adventure, heavy metal action, and hilarious comedy” as Alex embarks on a mission to bring peace to this chaotic world through the power of rock ‘n’ roll.

Isekai Metaller initially began serialization on Hero’s Inc.’s Comiplex website in March 2024 and is currently ongoing in Japan. Prior to that, it was serialized on ebookjapan under the title “Another World Metaller Lv. 999” starting in March 2021.
