Is Dorohedoro a story about class struggle?
humans - lower classes
magic users - middle/high classes
devils made from magic users - ruling elites
Chidaruma - traditional social order
Hole - revolutionary socialism

Since when traditional social order wants to be in bed with revolutionary socialism?
>>149928405
fascism was a thing
Well considering that magic is a metaphorical narrative device, probably.
Even though Doro is filled with class inequality undertones the division between humans and magic users is too much of a hard boundary. I can't think of any social classes save for Indian castes that won't allow people to buy their way out of it, while in Doro weak magic users are as worthless as humans, and cross-eyes couldn't do anything without their boss. And the Hole doesn't need the cross-eyes or humans, it made it's transformation thanks to the devil tumors/magic smoke. So idk how that makes sense, maybe it's just a case of deus ex machina.
What wil Hole kun do, when he learns Chidaruma made magic users?
>>149929546
Have sex with Chidaruma. Or perhaps create his own race of magic users.
>>149929546
Try to eat him probably. So chidaruma can join the rest of the cast.

Magic users go to hell when thery die...
Where will the head devil go?
>>149930435
He'll probably decide to stay dead for a few eternities until he gets bored and decides to exist again.
He's kinda omnipotent like that after all.
>>149928308
It might as well be.

This is listed as a horror manga but also comedy so is it safe to assume it's nothing like Ito Junji's work?
>>149932560
I wouldn't call it horror at all. You should still definitely read it.
>>149928308
It's don't think it's a complete allegory, but the class struggle angle as indeed there from the beginning.
When will dump anon come by with volume 19?
>>149932617
It's on my backlog but right now I can't stop reading horror supernatural shit.
Will Chota ever win his beloved En?
Will Dokuga ever stop going "muh boss" and notice Tetsujo?
Just finished reading this yesterday, are the english worth buying?
>>149936460
Yes.
>>149933579
What have you been reading anon?
>>149928308
Maybe, though it won't be a successful struggle by the lower class considering Hole-kun is probably going to get rekt by the gang
Also, I completely forgot about Kaiman's head (the one that Shin ripped off) disappearing early on in the story, makes you appreciate how well Hayashida's got this all planned out
You might be able to interpret it that way, I'm not sure if that was Hayashida's intention or not
Also, I got all of Ai's deaths sorted out, because I was trying to figure out where he actually lost a head or not
>Ai saves sorceror, gets 9 heads (lives) as a result
>Gets fucked up by sorcerors, is kill (doesn't count as a life yet though)
>Hole revives Ai for its own nefarious plans
>Now begins Ai's 9 lives
>First death was Risu's curse, right before he became Kaiman
>Second death was Shin ripping his head off
>Third death was En, right before he got turned back to Aikawa
>Fourth death was Kirion slicing his face
>Fifth death was suicide
>Six death was getting his head sliced open right before the sacrifice
>Seventh death was getting his head chopped off in the department store as Kai (by Ai)
>Eighth death was En fucking him up with mushrooms (again)
>Final death was Risu finishing off Ai's original head (all according to Hole's keikaku)
>>149932560
It's an action series revolving around magic with fair amounts of mutilation and body horror

TWIM is about struggle
Dorohedoro is a shonen
>>149936460
Most definitely.
>>149936800
>>149942052
Nice, buying the first few volumes when i buy manga next time then
>>149940502
Anon please. This is not aimed at boys and young men. Dorohedoro is definitely not shounen, despite the fights.
>>149928556
Pretty sure it still it.
