VIZ SIGNATURE IKKI
Dorohedoro
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 of 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.

After I got past the scribble-shading (bleh....not it's not "gritty", it's messy)....This ended up being a fun read. I'm excited to grab the next one.
a good steam punk manga
ikki fan
I just picked up the frst volume this is one great manga keep them coming.
meh

Honestly, this manga not very good. I got hooked and marathoned all 85 "Curse[s]" I could find fan-subbed and this story really goes nowhere fast. By curse 85 the series seems to have way overshot a natural feeling ending and still there is no real ending to the story in sight. It feels as if the author is writing the story as she goes and doesn't know how she wants it to end.
Awesome
Mesax
This manga is awesome hope for more !
Dorohedoro rocks

i love this manga. Anyway is there anyone who would like to see ikki online become an anthology magazine they can subscribe to and get in the mail or buy at a store?
I know I do.
Dorohedoro Rocks

Dorohedoro is one part steampunk, one part fantasy, and one part Pulp Fiction. A great plot with plenty of action, comedy, and romance, a cast of dozens, and a whole world that has a life of its own.
This is an awesome manga, and I'm glad it seems to be getting some attention from a US publisher.

I absolutely *love* this manga-- at first I was slightly put off by the very first gory scene, but was already interested in the plot so I decided to read the rest... i'm so glad I did. I've read all the chapters thus far, and can't wait for this page to catch up on all of them so I can read them again! <3
Old school made new again
Kawada
As someone who skipped over Dorohedoro when IKKI US first launched, I can honestly say this manga has become my favorite. The art style reminds me a bit of Battle Angel Alita and Akira: grimy characters, rundown back-drops, and unusual "creatures" inhabit both series. It feels like something pulled out of an 80's publication.
Not many manga today have such a strong old-school, steampunk feel to them. Hopefully Dorohedoro will survive in a market so inclined toward clean, CG-styled images.

Eff
This manga needs more love~! Great job and I cannot wait for more!!!
Incredible!
pappy
I cant wait for this to come out! The art is gritty and done amazingly well. I'm really excited for this series to find a home on my shelf.
Amazing
Gord
I can't express how much I love this manga, it is perfect.
The delicous HORROR
MangaNeko
Dorohedoro has quickly become one of my most favorite Ikki titles. The graphic mixture of sci-fi and horror has always appealed to me. After 4 chapters I just can't wait to see more. This last chapter was one of the best. The hero was just trying to have a normal day, but karma or planetary alignments were not happening, poor guy. Keep more chapters coming. I wish this manga was in the stores now.
i love Dorohedoro
Agiz
the first about this manga that caught me was the art, it has a sketchish dirty feel to it and i fell in love with it instantly, its very well done and scary and i love everysingle character in Dorohedoro. The story is fantastic and so unique and has enough violence to keep everyone happy :) i'm very excited for the english release.
awesome
biabub
great shit man. thumbs up
Amazing!!
Astro98
Dorohedoro is a fantastic series with an interesting story and amazing art. It am so glad Viz has licensed this!
Good read
Matthew
Will most likely buy it.
Thumbs up
Judi
Really enjoying this. Love it the wackiness of characters. Can't wait to see where it goes.
commentary on Dorohedoro
James Palmer
Pretty good first two chapters. The story manages to get going without taking a long time to set up the premise, characters and setting. The art is rough, detailed and imaginative, one of the series' strongest points. It isn't as flashy as other successful (in America) seinen manga are, infact it seems more like something that would have been released by 90s Viz back when Pulp magazine was first being published.
It'll probably sell about as well as Blame! did.
Finally!
rtificial
I was a fan of this series years ago and enjoyed it once I had finished blame! and some other gritty violent series. The whole setting, story and world is truely original and make this a joy to read....not to mention the awesome fight scenes and crazy lead characters. Be sure to keep up with this one...cause it gets deeper like caiman's throat. I never thought I'd see this in the US, so keep on bringing more suprises like this!
looking forward to more!
Pedro Camargo
Wow, this seems really interesting. Love the background and character designs. More hooked on the art than the story at the moment but I'm sure things will clear up and become more interesting as it goes on, it's hard to make such judgments off one chapter alone. Looking forward to a paperback release, will follow this for sure!!
Lots of Potential
Monkeynohito
The first chapter shows a lot of potential in unique ideas and an interesting world without wads of condescending exposition and set-up. It's a great pace to start out a story this way, but considering some of the transitions are a bit jarring, it's hard to say whether the story is showing glimpses of a rich tapestry or may end up as a whimsical hopscotch from one fight to another.
I'd say it has plenty of potential to make it worth keeping an eye on though.
So Far So Good
REM beat down
I have only read the first chapter (and that was pretty short) but I already can tell one thing, this series is going to have one of the most unique casts of characters I've ever seen.
Really interesting
Jessica
I've never heard of this title, so Chapter 1 is my only exposure. There was a lot going on, so it was difficult to tell where it was going in only a few pages. Nevertheless, my interest is piqued. Like a previous commenter noted, it does remind me a lot of Blame! (one of my favorites). I'm looking forward to seeing this one in print.
Needs a paperback release
monkeysuit
I'm simply overjoyed that Viz has localized this series and I can't wait for the inevitable paperback release! I just hope it comes soon.
pretty cool
anthony r.
yeah this is pretty awesome, the art's pretty interesting as is the story, I wonder what'll happen next, can't wait to see it in print
Great
bbpp
Great manga; bring on the paperback versions asap.
Best new manga!
Caleb
This manga is one of the best new manga I've read in a long time. It has a great blend of humor and action. It has a full cast of diverse characters. The level of detail in the artwork is amazing! The story is original and full of twists and turns. I look forward to being able to read it here online, and hope that there will be an eventual American release of this great series.
Now I'm hungry for gyoza.
Rendaw
This darkly absurd fantasy isn't the sort filled with princesses and dragons, but rather rituals involving dropping eggs into pots of thick liquid while wearing pointy shoes and a gang leader who can turn people into mushrooms with his breath. The art is beautifully loose and grungy, yet careful and detailed, and the characters are quirky and upbeat, making the violent and twisted story endlessly fun. This is the one manga that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone I know.
Great Manga
Mr.Joe
Dorohedoro is a fantastic, dark and mature series that deserves your attention. It begins somewhat confusingly, but that confusion is soon alleviated as the story progresses and settles into a very satisfying pace. Great characters, rich art, and a very original and intriguing setting make for a great work of art.
chapter 1
caelin
OK, I'll admit it, I am hugely biased towards Dorohedoro and would love to own it in a paperback form in a language I can read. I love the setting and the characters and the grunge art. It's morbid, funny, original and basically everything I like about anything. This series is on the very top of my list! Will, of course, continue reading as chapters become available.
DO RO HE DO RO
PetitCharat
I love the art of the series! The characters from the hole are really cool. Tough, yet sympathetic. I'm eager to read more (why'd the chapter have to be so dang short..)!
Words Fail to Describe It
The Mad Manga Massacre
I have heard of this series a few times, every comment was positive. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Viz Media for licensing this series!! For those who read and enjoyed Black Lagoon, this is a series you will not want to miss! The art is very detailed and the action is non-stop! High flying, surreal, gritty manga at its best!!!
Interesting stuff!
Brandon House
There's a lot going on here- and from just a first chapter not enough to tell where it's heading or how it will flesh out. So far though, the steam punk mixed with magic was enough to contain my interest. I really want to see more of it.
this is my kind of book
mason
this is one of the manga series I have been waiting for can't wait to buy it.

Andrew
Dorohedoro combines the urban claustrophobia of BLAME with the twisted whimsy of European fantasy to create something completely unique in style and atmosphere. I hadn’t heard anything about this series before reading it here and I’m glad I took the opportunity. It's definitely one-to-watch from this new batch of IKKI series.
Finally!
Nicole
Thank you for releasing Dorohedoro! I've been following this series through scanlations and love it, and I'm ecstatic that I can support an official English release now. Please put this out in a printed form!
Excellent Series
Blazinty
Excellent Seinen series Cant wait for it to come out in GN form. The art is excellent and rather dark. Please include the color plates when released.
