Dorohedoro is seeing a massive resurgence in popularity following the long-awaited news regarding its second anime season. The story is set in The Hole, a grim, sprawling city where Sorcerers from another dimension practice their macabre magic on the helpless residents. Enter Caiman, a man with a lizard head and a total case of amnesia. Along with his best friend Nikaido, Caiman hunts Sorcerers to find the one who cursed him, all while a mysterious man living inside his throat offers cryptic clues. It’s a violent, surreal, and surprisingly heartwarming tale about friendship and food.
