Synopsis of Canon and Release History
Dorohedoro is a cooking show disguised as a romantic comedy disguised as a screwball comedy that’s disguised as a death metal inter dimensional hellish horror story.
Dorohedoro takes place in a nightmarish world of humans, sorcerers, and devils. Kaiman, an amnesiac man with an inexplicably reptilian head, seeks answers about his past with the help of his friend Nikaido. Along the way, they cross paths with various factions such as the En family, the Cross-Eyes gang, and the devils that govern and torment their world.
In 2009, Viz media licensed an English-language release for North America, where it was digitally distributed through SigIKKI, the online English version of Ikki magazine at the time.
Fandom
The 2020 anime series caused a surge of new interest among an international audience in the original manga, which was long considered as unknown to mainstream audiences, especially outside of its native Japan.
