Dorohedoro

ドロヘドロ

A sorcerer's spell turned Caiman's head into a lizard's. It also wiped out every memory of his old life. He lives in the Hole. It is a filthy slum city where sorcerers come through magic doors to practice spells on humans. He hunts them with Nikaido. She owns a gyoza place called the Hungry Bug and keeps him fed. When he catches one he puts their head in his huge jaws. A strange man inside his mouth then tells the sorcerer whether they are the one Caiman wants. Before long the sorcerer crime boss En wants him dead. Dorohedoro mixes grisly violence, absurd comedy and a dense and detailed world. It has a lot of gore and body horror. It suits adult readers who like oddball fantasy and dark humor.
