A twisted tale of sadistic Sorcerers and the monsters they create.
In a city so dismal it's known only as "the Hole," a clan of Sorcerers has 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.
Deep in the Hole, the survivors of En's family continue their mission to revive their slain leader with some "enhanced interrogation" of a Cross-Eye member. The rest of the Cross-Eyes finally come face-to-face with their long-lost boss. And Risu, Asu, and an even more powerful Nikaido find themselves on a surprisingly dangerous quest: getting her gyoza business up and running again.

Born in 1977, Q-Hayashida graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts and debuted in 1997 with Sofa-chan, which was a runner-up in Monthly Afternoon’s Shiki Prize newcomers competition. Starting in August 1999, the series Maken X Another was serialized in Magazine Z. In December 2000, Dorohedoro began its run in Spirits Zokan Ikki. It would continue in the magazines Monthly Ikki, Hibana, and Monthly Shonen Sunday, before coming to an end in October of 2018. The fruits of this intensely productive period of work have been realized in this art book. Q-Hayashida's latest work Dai Dark, which began in April 2019, is serialized in Monthly Shonen Sunday.
