Q Hayashida wrote and illustrated the Dorohedoro manga. It was serialized in Shogakukan’s manga magazines Monthly Ikki from November 2000 to September 2014, Hibana from March 2015 to August 2017, and Monthly Shonen Sunday from November 2017 to September 2018. It was compiled into a total of 23 volumes. A new one-shot was released on April 11 to commemorate the second anime season.
VIZ Media licensed it in English, describing the story as:
In a city so dismal it’s known only as “the Hole,” a clan of Sorcerers have been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious “experiments” in the black arts. In a dark alley, Nikaido found Caiman, a man with a reptile head and a bad case of amnesia. To undo the spell, they’re hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they’ll kill the right one. But when En, the head Sorcerer, gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of “cleaners” into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds.
