Dorohedoro (2020) — Story, Release Date, Rating

Synopsis:

Hole is a desolate district where magic users reign with unchecked power, treating the powerless inhabitants as expendable resources. The environment reflects this harsh reality: lawless and brutal, it serves as a testing ground for magical abilities, often at the expense of human life. Caiman, an individual marked by his unusual physiology and haunted by visions, exists outside the magic users' control. Driven by a desperate search for answers regarding his own anomalous condition, he relentlessly pursues these powerful individuals.

He is aided by Nikaidou, a pragmatic woman who operates a restaurant within Hole's confines, offering him support and a grounded perspective amidst the district’s chaos. The series explores themes of prejudice, societal inequality, and the search for identity in a world defined by disparity. It presents a bleak yet compelling atmosphere where survival hinges on resilience and unconventional alliances.
