Synopsis

Dorohedoro tells the story of Caiman, an amnesiac man who wakes up with the head of a lizard. He and his friends live in "the Hole," a dangerous city home to a clan of sorcerers who take people off the street to conduct experiments on the use of the dark arts. Nikaido and Caiman join forces to hunt down those orchestrating these atrocities and kill them one by one. However, En, a powerful player in the world of mages, discovers this and sends a team of "cleaners" to kill Caiman, Nikaido, and anyone else who poses a threat to his abyssal goals. In the Hole, all-out war erupts!
