If you haven't started reading Dorohedoro yet, don't worry about spoilers, because honestly, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to describe this manga, let alone spoil it. It's bizarre, entertaining, wildly weird, occasionally sick, and goddamn hilarious. Definitely check it out.

It's just too awesome, I even register just to comment on this one.
It feels like the first time I read manga, the art and story are so exciting. It is special because there 's nothing right and wrong, no evil or hero, but I can guarantee that you 'll not feel boring even a little bit.

This may not be a manga that appeals to everyone. I enjoy the art and the roughness of it, but others may not. I like that the artist obviously draws their work as opposed to using a lot of CG backgrounds or photoshoped stuff. I think the bizarreness of the imagery goes well with the black humor of the story. Some of the humor sometimes had me guffawing in laughter, other times not. Black humor and gore may not be everyone's cup of tea however. There's also some stuff that actually surprises a jaded manga reader like myself.

Some of the problems it has is that sometimes it feels that there isn't a well grounded system that explains how things work. This is why sometimes it feels that some stuff is just made up at the spur of the moment. If you pull off ideas that are just thrown in there no one will notice, but sometimes some things don't seem as well thought out so it becomes noticeable. Also there are times when the humor is a little forced or takes precedence over the story making one feel that the story is dragging a bit.

This is still a pretty fun and original work that contains a fair amount of surprises which made it hard for me to put down. At this time I give it a 9.

This manga got me hooked right away and I couldn't stop reading. The story and characters are so unique and fun. I don't know, this manga has everything I can ask for in a manga. A mysterious, badass, strong main character that also has a sense of humor. The setting is super cool and complex. The others characters are just as interesting. And most importantly, this manga doesn't have a good vs. evil kind of thing. Rather everyone has a reason for doing what they do and the manga doesn't take sides with one particular group. As a result, I was able to enjoy reading the Kaiman/Nikaido parts as well as the En/Shin/Noi parts. A true masterpiece in my mind.

So many people have enjoyed this and given the manga a great rating. I've failed. I didn't really enjoy this. My bad, I'm missing out. The rating is 5 because I consider the author a genius in one way. The story has phenomenal pace and the plot is constantly surprising.. The rating is low because I am only capable of appreciating this on a "technical" level. It is not my cup of tea and didn't give me pleasure. The main problem I have with this manga.. I don't know. I simply didn't get attached to it. Also, so many side-stories (Ebisu's, Chota and En's relationship..) didn't really even happen. This manga is pure awesome for some people, but not me.

i think that this is one of the best manga i ever read in my life. The art is awesome, the plot is great and the development too. Furthermore the sense of humor of this woman (hayashida) is the most wonderful thing in the world, i laugh a lot while reading it. Some times the story can be tiresome or weak, like near to the 15 vol but then (17 i think) it gets great again. I almost think on drop it in that point and i feel a little disappointed, but now i reach the japanese publication (sadly) and i don't regret nothing. Is a really good reading but the story is not easy to follow so perhaps you will need some patience with it ( particularly i love that) and the characters are awesome too. Is one of my favourite mangas of all the time, so i hope you enjoy reading it too.

(my english is a mess, sorry)

So I started reading and it was confusing and not that great at first, but I kept reading and it only got better and better. The characters a little hard to warm up to in the beginning (the masks don't really help) but they all prove themselves to be awesome. [ebisu and shin are probably my favs, and I can't say there are any characters I don't like] I'm only on volume 6 so I got a long way to go but I hope it stays as good as it is.

If you read this till the end you'll realise that is not just awesome, it has a story for real and strong character development. The best manga i've ever read, I mean, this is the only one who made me read 70 pages in 10 minutes.
By the way, who said "Nothing is new, everything is a copy" didn't read this manga.

... All words that scarcely illustrate the epicness of this manga. The carefully selected minutias and interactions of the characters and the story line beckons readers to read on to the next chapter. The main character exemplifies, and perhaps is the epitome, of cool. I fear that if he were any cooler, the universe would freeze over. The only faux pas of this manga, is that it is not yet well known. It vexatious that my written accolades alone do not serve this manga justice... please for the love of all that is good and enjoyable in the world... READ THIS MANGA!!

a really really REALLY REALLY good manga
well paced, well drawn, and most of all - unique.
there are no manga cliches in here at all.
one of the best seinen series running at the moment IMO
