ドロヘドロ / Dorohedoro

Step into the gritty, grotesque world of Dorohedoro, where magic is a weapon, life is cheap, and survival means getting your hands dirty! Welcome to "the Hole," a dismal, smoke-choked city where ordinary humans are nothing more than fodder for sadistic Sorcerers to hone their dark arts. They snatch people off the streets, twist them into abominations, and leave them for dead. But in this brutal landscape, a legend is brewing, a beacon of visceral vengeance!

Meet Caiman, a man with a menacing reptile head, no memory, and a singular, burning goal: to find the Sorcerer who cursed him and get his original face back. Rescued by the fierce and formidable Nikaido, a martial artist with a knack for chaos and a heart of gold, this unlikely duo carves a bloody path through the Hole. Their method? Hunt down every Sorcerer they can find, hoping that one of them holds the key to Caiman's past – and his true identity. Each kill brings them closer, or so they hope, but also deeper into a web of gruesome magic and unspeakable horrors.

However, their relentless rampage hasn't gone unnoticed. News of a lizard-headed brute slaughtering magic-users reaches En, the ruthless and powerful head Sorcerer, whose patience wears thin. He dispatches his elite crew of "cleaners" into the Hole, sparking an all-out, no-holds-barred war between two vastly different worlds. Prepare for a visually stunning, relentlessly kinetic ride packed with unforgettable characters, bizarre magic, and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. This isn't just a story; it's an experience, a visceral plunge into the deliciously twisted depths of Q Hayashida's imagination. Plus, don't miss out on the incredible bonus content: 23 side stories titled "Extra Evil" and the thrilling standalone "The Lizard Head and the Magic Whistle"!
