Manga like Dorohedoro: 5 series to read in English

In Dorohedoro a sorcerer's spell gave Caiman the head of a lizard. The same spell erased every memory of his old life. The series mixes horror, comedy, fantasy and mystery.

The picks are the series on Mangainfo that share the most themes and genres with Dorohedoro in AniList's tags and have English volumes out, with the more popular series winning a close call. All volume counts below are as of October 2026.

Berserk

Berserk by Kentarou Miura and Studio Gaga shares Dorohedoro's taste for curses, demons and body horror.

The setting is a dark fantasy world of castles, mercenary armies and monsters. Guts travels alone and hunts demons.

Japan has 43 volumes and the series is still releasing there. English readers have 42 of them. No next English volume is listed yet.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

For the comedy side of Dorohedoro, try Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead by Haro Aso and Koutarou Takata. It has the same surreal comedy and body horror. The gore is there too.

Akira Tendo has spent years at a production company that treats him like a machine. He works through the night. His boss screams at him.

The series is still running in Japan with 23 volumes. English has 18 volumes out. The next one listed is volume 21 from VIZ Media on 22 December 2026.

Terra Formars

Yuu Sasuga and Kenichi Tachibana made Terra Formars. It lines up with Dorohedoro on henshin, super powers and gore.

This one is science fiction horror with plenty of action. Its tags point to aliens and tragedy.

Japan is at 24 volumes and the series is still releasing. English readers can get 21 of them. No next English volume is listed.

The Witch and the Beast

Magic and gore are the main links between Dorohedoro and The Witch and the Beast by Kousuke Satake. Both also lean into urban fantasy.

It is a fantasy action drama with witches at its center. Revenge is one of its themes.

English has caught up with Japan at 10 volumes. The series is still releasing in Japan. No next English volume is listed yet.

Golden Kamuy

Satoru Noda's Golden Kamuy is the only historical pick here. It still shares surreal comedy, an anti-hero lead and plenty of gore with Dorohedoro.

It begins in Hokkaido soon after the Russo-Japanese War. Saichi Sugimoto came through so many battles that soldiers named him Immortal Sugimoto.

The series has finished in Japan at 31 volumes. All 31 are out in English. That makes it the one complete run on this list.
