Dorohedoro will not be for everyone. First of all, it is definitely not for kids. In addition to being very violent and over the top with gore, there is a fair amount of nudity. But this book handles big voluptuous breasts in a way that only a female author can. With practicality and, somehow, without exploitation. The main two women, Nikaido and Noi, are full figured gals and are sometimes naked. As most of us are from time to time. Ebisu, a very boyish framed petite girl, is the one to desire fancy lingerie and the male gaze. There is actually zero sex in the entire series and the only romantic relationship is between a divorced couple. a b Aoki, Deb. "Dorohedoro Volume 1". About.com.

Neither knows the other is there yet. a b Santos, Carlo (October 8, 2010). "Dorohedoro GN 2 - Review". Anime News Network. Archived from the original on October 9, 2010 .

He tries to save her but she is brainwashed by her contract with En and insists she wants to stay. During a fight someone stabs her and breaks her contract. She can now find Caiman as long as she stays far away from En. A friendly devil opens a portal for them to escape the sorcerers’ world.

Nikaido turns into a man to infiltrate En’s mansion, now overrun with cross eyes. She runs into Aikawa who is there searching for Risu. (Note: Aikawa is lizard free Caiman, Risu used to live in his mouth, yes it is a bit confusing). We also see the full power of En as he faces off with Caiman and Nikaido. He uses his mushroom powers to tear Caiman open from the inside. He causes mushrooms to grow very large from the inside of his organs and blood, causing his entire body to rupture. This reveals Caiman’s true, non lizard, face. This new identity is known as Aikawa. Caiman and Nikaido stumble across a young Professor (who I’ll refer to as Prof for the rest of the summary) who has built a door that is able to access the sorcerer’s world. The humans controlled by the tube capture Risu and Asu, Nikaido gets away. She stumbles directly into Caiman. She’s known him as Aikawa for some time now so she is suspicious of him. This Caiman, however, doesn’t remember any of that.Ressler, Karen (July 30, 2014). "Monthly Ikki Magazine's Individual Series' Plans Announced". Anime News Network.
