Yonen Buzz

"Yonen Buzz" is an original German language comic by Christina Plaka and the continuation of "Plastic Chew" (originally entitled "Prussian Blue", but changed in order to avoid association with the white nationalist band Prussian Blue). While "Prussian Blue" was published in German by Carlsen Verlag, "Yonen Buzz" was released by TOKYOPOP Germany. TOKYOPOP is releasing both titles in English in 2006. The release schedule is rather slow, as the author is a full-time Japanology student.

The series focuses on a Japanese garage band called Plastic Chew and their struggles to make it big while remaining true to their musical sensibilities and juggling school and part-time jobs. Internal conflict arises because not all four band members have the same talent levels and plans for the future; Saiyuri and Jun are romantically involved, but Jun is prone to psychological reliance on the man who raised him, someone the other band members don't trust.
