There is a truly awful realm out there aptly named Hole, dominated by masters of magic subjecting the hapless citizens to all manner of suffering. Considering those beneath as more akin to an insect than a human being, the magic practitioners experiment on them relentlessly atop all the murder and maiming.

Whilst most are helpless against the mighty magic of their oppressors, their exists a mighty creature by the name of Kaiman. As much a reptile as he is a man, Kaiman boasts strong immunity to magic and wages war on the sadistic elite of this society.

Desperate to restore his life to something a little more ordinary, Kaiman struggles with nightmares and memory loss as he does battle in the quest for answers. Constantly weighed down by an appetite even Professor Hulk would blush at, Kaiman relies heavily on his trusty ally Nikaidou and her delightful restaurant, Hungry Bug.

An imaginative and gritty blend of surreal humour and hard hitting horror, Dorohedoro is a grim but fascinating look into a mean spirited world we can all be relieved exists only in fiction. Thrilling and full of plot twists and turns, Dorohedoro is a tour de force for those who can stomach it.
