The Hole is a dark, decaying place where chaos reigns, and the line between life and death is blurred on a daily basis. In this world filled with black magic, despair, and violence, emerges Caiman—a man with the head of a lizard and no memory of who he is. With the help of his friend Nikaido, the owner of a small eatery, Caiman embarks on a mission: to hunt down sorcerers in hopes of finding the one who cursed him and reclaiming his lost identity.

The world of Dorohedoro is brutally corrupted yet strangely vibrant. Sorcerers from the world of magic come to the Hole to test their powers on helpless humans, leaving behind death, mutations, and chaos. Caiman’s quest quickly puts him on a collision course with En, a powerful leader of the sorcerers, who, upon learning of the attacks on his people, sends his deadliest "cleaners" into the Hole—thus beginning a bloody war between two worlds.

The first volume of Dorohedoro introduces a grim yet darkly humorous story about friendship, revenge, and the search for identity. Q Hayashida’s manga fascinates with its unique blend of grotesque imagery, black humor, and brutal action, creating a world that pulls readers into a chaotic whirlwind of mystery and violence.
