The official website for the anime adaptation of the Dorohedoro manga
by author Q Hayashida confirmed that the project will premiere
its second season during 2025. In addition, under the phrase “Currently in
chaos”, a second promotional image was presented that includes part of the
storyboard of the new installment. On the other hand, the return of Yuichiro
Hayashi as director at the MAPPA studio was announced
. The announcement coincides with the fifth anniversary of the first season,
released in 2020.
The original manga began in 2000 in Shogakukan's Monthly
Ikki magazine and, after several editorial changes, concluded in
2018 with 167 chapters collected in 23 volumes. Its previous animated
adaptation consisted of 12 episodes that debuted in 2020 and arrived on Netflix
internationally.
Synopsis of Dorohedoro
The story revolves around Kaiman, a man with a reptilian
head and amnesia caused by a sorcerer's magic. Together with his ally Nikaidō,
he travels through a dark world in search of answers about his true identity.
Between brutal combat, twisted humor, and decadent settings, a conflict
unravels between humans and practitioners of magical arts who inhabit a place
known as "Hole."
