Back at you, man.
So, does that mean chapter releases instead of entire volumes from now on?
(Intrigued what will the guys at GWR think of this release, too. . .)
-
Well here's a quote from one the scanlation group's staff
I work with FS and we did contact a couple GWR members about the situation (we asked if they wanted to use the magazine raws, since they didn't we asked if we could go ahead). As far as I know GWR will still be continuing with their volume releases while we work on the monthlies; we're hoping to be fully caught up with the current releases by or during February.
And here's the news from the group
Merry Xmas !

INNECESARILY BUMPING THIS THREAD! NO NEW CHAPTER! DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP!
…
Ok, just wanted to say, I finally re-read everything from chapter 1 (including all the awesome bonus chapters) to the last one, 110.
It was delicious. And yes, it also left me so confused it's not even funny. I feel like I have so many questions waiting to be answered, and yet the only thing I'm gonna get is "man, this is Dorohedoro, massively weird shit happens every damn chapter, why are you even asking ?????". So I'm even afraid to make these questions, but I guess I'll try
Of course, heavy spoilers ahead:
! - Sooo, the boss is Ai and Aikawa and Kaiman and. . . .Kai¿?¿? Who the fuck is Kai? Anyways, it seems anytime Aikawa is conflicted, his head. . .explodes? And the boss comes back. Is that it?
! - Then, while he was Kaiman, why did it never happen?
! - When he stabbed Nikaido, was he Aikawa? Ai? How did he turn into that if Ebisu was still alive?
! - Why did Curse take Kaiman's head after being beheaded by Shin? Better, yet: HOW did he take Kaiman's head if he said he couldn't get out of his body? And if he did get out of his body. . .why did he come back to it?
! - And why did he leave this head in the place where Aikawa/Kaiman was "killed" by En? Random?
! - When En "killed" Aikawa/Kaiman, Curse got out of him and said "you got killed by someone that's not me", and went back to Risu, fusing with him. Why didn't he do it when Kaiman got beheaded by Shin??
! - The fucking fuck is up with the Boss's 8 heads thing that are connected via I don't know what? Is that gonna be answered, considering the Boss is now 3 transformations ahead of that? Is that gonna be brought up at all, considering the Boss is right now a massive pile of weird stuff, literally? Is his "Sacrificeeeee" mantra going somewhere? Hello?
! - His power is connected to the Hole's severage system? How did he bring the rain to the Magic Users world in what seems to be something permanent? Does that even make sense?
! - How is he the Devil's experiment/plaything/wathever? He's acting of his own accord or is he Chidaruma's puppet?
! - Will we get a flashback or backstory with Chidaruma linking him to Hole, what with the Hole devil coin existing?
! - Why did Nikaido say that she used her magic when she and Kaiman fought against Shin and Noi, and because of that "she and Kaiman. . ."??? She only made a door, what "serious" effect that had on Kaiman??
! - And, didn't she say something similar after the En incident? She said "I used magic again. . .". Am I missing something? Is that gonna be explained someday?Seriously, I'm going freaking crazy!
Anyways, even when the last 2 volumes felt a bit more dragged out than the rest, and that things are escalating and going so weird without first explaining what happened BEFORE that crazy shit happened (the crazy shit is continuously piling in this manga waiting to be answered), I still think this manga is a masterpiece. The author is clearly cheating to makes us go coco bananas with the intrigue, but the ride itself is definitely awesome, quality stuff, not just the cliffhangers.
I needed to talk about this manga, yep. I feel relieved now.
And if someone wants to answer, I couldn't be more happy.
-
I'll just answer the first question since i don't have much time right now. But i think it'll give you a better understanding of what's happening.
@kouch_lee:! - Sooo, the boss is Ai and Aikawa and Kaiman and. . . .Kai¿?¿? Who the fuck is Kai? Anyways, it seems anytime Aikawa is conflicted, his head. . .explodes? And the boss comes back. Is that it?
! Kai is the youngster from hole that wanted to become a magic user, he went to the magic users' world then formed the crosseyes, he the Boss.
He has a double personnality disorder, Aikawa and Kai.
! So Aikawa just got his name changed to Kaiman by Nikaido, then right when he remembered his past changed his name to Ai.
Also the head exploding is just Kai taking over Aikawa.
! For the heads…it's Dorohedoro, or an ability that Kai stole from a magic user.
! > - Then, while he was Kaiman, why did it never happen?
! He lost his memory while being Kaiman, Kai couldn't take over him.
! > - When he stabbed Nikaido, was he Aikawa? Ai? How did he turn into that if Ebisu was still alive?
! http://www.batoto.net/read/_/54954/dorohedoro_v7_ch39_by_gantz-waitingroom/14
His memories started to comeback right there, so it was Kai who did it, like he took over for a bit then reverted back to Aikawa/Kaiman/Ai.
! > - Why did Curse take Kaiman's head after being beheaded by Shin? Better, yet: HOW did he take Kaiman's head if he said he couldn't get out of his body? And if he did get out of his body. . .why did he come back to it?-
And why did he leave this head in the place where Aikawa/Kaiman was "killed" by En? Random?
! Which chapters are those ? Can't remember.
! > - When En "killed" Aikawa/Kaiman, Curse got out of him and said "you got killed by someone that's not me", and went back to Risu, fusing with him. Why didn't he do it when Kaiman got beheaded by Shin??
! It's about the multiple heads thingy, attacks on the head don't work. Look at the fight between Kai and the meatbag store members, his head was burnt and his face choped.
! > - The fucking fuck is up with the Boss's 8 heads thing that are connected via I don't know what? Is that gonna be answered, considering the Boss is now 3 transformations ahead of that? Is that gonna be brought up at all, considering the Boss is right now a massive pile of weird stuff, literally? Is his "Sacrificeeeee" mantra going somewhere? Hello? -

-
Will we get a flashback or backstory with Chidaruma linking him to Hole, what with the Hole devil coin existing?
! Dorohedoro.
! > - How is he the Devil's experiment/plaything/wathever? He's acting of his own accord or is he Chidaruma's puppet?
! Every demon knows what's going to happen and Chidaruma's allowing. It seems like there's some big event after Kai becoming a demon himself artificially and that it is expected and destined to happen.
! > - Why did Nikaido say that she used her magic when she and Kaiman fought against Shin and Noi, and because of that "she and Kaiman. . ."??? She only made a door, what "serious" effect that had on Kaiman?? -
And, didn't she say something similar after the En incident? She said "I used magic again. . .". Am I missing something? Is that gonna be explained someday?
! Isn't it just because she swore to never using magic again ? She broke her promise to herself and wasn't happy about it. Or atleast that's what i got from it.

Dorohedoro 111 This chapter might give you an illusion you understand the plot of Dorohedoro. Well, you don't. Stare at the nostalgic and cute cover for two hours instead.
-
I really really do love this manga. always have. <3 glad to see it's updated again.
-
This looks very bizarre and very interesting. Summarize it for me in maximum of ten words.
-
Boobs, blood, magic, weird characters, devils and lizard heads.
-
And Chota as the tenth word.
-
I've read up to chapter 8 so far and I'm sold already.
Also I tried to rack my brain on what the artstyle reminded me of, especially on the colored parts. The B&W parts do have a similarity to some Judge Dredd artists (and the setting does give the same vibes) but then I realized that the colored spots remind me of Enki Bilal's work, moreso on his earlier stuff which has a similar, murky and artistic atmosphere.
-
the mangaka used to be an assistant for tsutomo nihei on Blame! or whatever. So I guess she picked up his style

It's Dorohedoro time, muthafuckas!
-
Why does this manga always end with a cliffhanger that makes me go WHAAA AGDGHS the hell was that thing why the heck is this chapter so short… oh its 27 pages already? Dammit.
GLad to see dorohedoro being translated monthly than once in forever like it used to.
-
Yeah, Q Hayashida wants to keep fucking with our heads for as long as she can.
Still, the chapter was greatly enjoyable. It's awesome how she can keep up with so many characters who are all crazy as hell, and make them (almost) all likable.
And the atmosphere she created is so freaking good.
-
For a second there, I thought we were going to have a canon shipping situation on our hands :wub: , but Q Hayashida decided to screw with us
-
It's that time of the month again. Yeah, you know that time.
-
The char.designs reminded me of Otomo's for some reason.Must be the foreheads.
-
Wow that Risu transformation page is super adorable.
-
What the hell man. What is that face even.
-
Who is that fucker with the knife? Do we know him?
Poor Asu can't catch a break.
And considering two super powerful beings are there with him (Curse and Semi-Devil Nikaido), I was expecting them to react faster and help Asu. . .
. . .although gotta admit constanty high as fuck Nikaido is extremely funny.
–---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woah, what is this sorcery??? ANOTHER chapter? After less than a week??
Well, not going to complain.
Off to read, Dorohedoro time, fuckeeers!

-
Asu is throwing a tantrum.
-
!
This chapter cover art sums up the entire manga for me. -
Lol at Asu.
Pretty badass chapter. I specially liked the super nonchalant way (as always) that Kasukabe and Haru were talking amidst a room full of demons, in the middle of the lake of refuse and with shit about to happen. And it seems we gasp might be getting close to solve the riddle? The boss was being manipulated all this time?
And my biggest worry: will we ever see Kaiman again?
-
And my biggest worry: will we ever see Kaiman again?
Are him and Aikawa seperate personalities?
-
Are him and Aikawa seperate personalities?
From what I gather, Aikawa is indeed Kaiman. Ai/Kai/Boss is the murdering head chopping devil tumor eating metamorfosed psycopath.
Thing is, wathever the devils are planning for him won't end well, and that includes Aikawa's personality. Unless his body also divides itself into two because Dorohedoro and we have two sepparate entities for Aikawa and the boss.
I just want the manga to end with Aikawa/Kaiman and Nikaido working together at the Gyoza restaurant and being happy forever and ever. And have children. Devil children.
-
Kai has the distinction of being the only villain in this manga who acts like a total monster seemingly without a semblance of a lighthearted/goofy side or any postitive or non-threatening traits.
Everyone else,despite being homicidal sadists and psychos,have lots of redeeming values to them and can be pretty neat guys to hang around with.Even Chidaruma,who is pretty much our local Satan,has this big goofy fun side to him.Kai is the only one who is 100% terror.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
From what I gather, Aikawa is indeed Kaiman.
Well then,he didn't really go anywhere,did he?It's just that he lost his lizard face and got his memories back.
…though I really want him to go back to being reptilian.If only for a while...though that would mean getting Ebisu's stuff back on him...which could feel a tad contrived and forced.
-
Ai is just the name that Aikawa/Kaiman gave to himself so he could flee from Nikaido, and that same Aikawa is just a personality that spawned after Kai entered the Magic users' world.
All that multiple personalities and heads stuff must have something to do with the refuse lake and the thing that has yet to be revealed.

Well, right now he is a massive blob of refuse, so. . .yeah. I don't think Aikawa's personality is coming back any time soon, since Kai seems to be the dominant one. Which is a shame, considering he's the main protagonist and all.
Ai is just the name that Aikawa/Kaiman gave to himself so he could flee from Nikaido, and that same Aikawa is just a personality that spawned after Kai entered the Magic users' world.
I don't recall this, to be honest. I mean Aikawa using the name "Ai" to get away from Nikaido.
All that multiple personalities and heads stuff must have something to do with the refuse lake and the thing that has yet to be revealed.
Yeah, and I hope we finally get the answer, although I'm in no hurry. The ride so far is too enjoyable for it to end.
-

Yep my bad, i just went to read the part and it seems i got mixed up with the names. He just said that he was Aikawa.
So Ai is the original guy from hole that went to the Magic user's world, he later became Kai (Did he give that name to someone ? I remember something like that but it's too hazy) or the Boss and for some still unkown reason the new personality ala Aikawa/Kaiman spawned.
-
Is that level of awesome knife skills limited to Kai or can Aikawa/Kaiman be "kill En's ass in 5 seconds/crush Shin and Noi at the same time" kind of awesome as well?
-
-
Words cannot express how much I love you for this. Thanks for the heads up!
Holy what. WHAT is going ON I don't even.
What. -
Yeah, this manga is made of pure mindscrew.
But it's so damn fun and addictive. It's crack made manga.
Still, for the first time I kinda got it that Ai was making zombies outta the hole inhabitants that were at the central store. It's weird that, for so many things Hayashida leaves for us to solve, she went and spent an entire chapter basically spelling that to us.
Although zombie Shin sure is scary as hell. . .
-
Okay…cool chapter.
Yes.
-
were all his assistant sick or something?
-
Goddammit Dorohedoro. It's so good, but so short. . .I need more!
-
According to manganewsjapan twitter, volume 19 will be the last one.
!
-
Shit. How many good mangas are ending this year? Blade of the Immortal, Worst, now Dorohedoro.
This is sad.
-
No it is good when the end does not suck.
-
I know. The Dorohedoro ending has been in sight for a while now.
It's just that I'll be sad without Dorohedoro. I fucking love it. I'd read it for years and years. The universe is just fantastic and the characters rock.
-
Many great mangas seem to be ending lately, some after a very short run.
Meanwhile the crappy ones like Naruto or Hajime No Ippo refuse to die.
-
To help forget the sad news, here we have Buggy running loose again!
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/179732/dorohedoro_v18_ch117_by_fallen-syndicate/3
OK. What. The. Fuck.
I don't even know what is going on anymore, but one thing is for certain. . .
! KAIMAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!! WELCOME THE FUCK BACK!!!
-
I cant believe how much I miss kaiman. And noi running around collecting body parts is great too.
-
Shiiiiieeeeeet!! Kaaiiimann that's mah booiii!
-
Well, in the end what sucked us into this manga was the wacky adventures of a guy with a Kaiman head and his friend Nikaido, the kung fu cooking girl.
As much as I love all the mind screws we've been getting throughout this great manga, in the end it has to be Kaiman and Nikaido again.
Now, an explanation wouldn't hurt, that's for certain. . .
-
It's all that Demon's doing (Moroku was it ? The shady one with a hat that was a regular to Nikaido's restaurant).
