Review
"It's the pioneer of the manga tradition wading neck deep into the mire of freakish swordsmen, ghouls and historical messiness: Kurosawa and Leone meets Romero... Dororo stands as a classic that showcases Osamu Tezuka's unique approach to manga and to the world."
--Ain't It Cool News
"Platinum Award. Tezuka blends high-adventure plotting with deep and thoughtful themes in his inimitable style... It seems a shame it's only all been in Japanese until now."
--Advanced Media Network
"Sleek in design and swift in pacing, the story's blend of mayhem and laffs and depression creates a uniquely chaotic world... The monster designs are excellent, ranging from detailed etchings to gargantuan masses of doomy scribbles."
--Jog-The Blog
"Simply put, Vertical's English translation of Osamu Tezuka's late '60s swords-and-goblins saga is a work of such genius that one must term it not only inspired but also inspiring--it's a reminder of why one reads manga in the first place. Exquisitely rendered and mind-bogglingly creative."
--Firefox News
"By far Tezuka's edgiest work at that point in his career, this series is riveting and, frankly, creepy as hell, with Tezuka's signature 'cute' style offering a welcome counterpoint to the visceral horrors depicted.
Highly recommended."
--Publishers Weekly
"The premise and Tezuka's eerie renditions of larval Hyakkimaru and the monsters that come after him is unusually effective and chilling."

Product Description
The second volume in the thriller manga trilogy featuring a swordsman who must hunt down and destroy 48 demons who possess his body parts, which were given to them by the man's father in exchange for power. Vertical presents Dororo in the original, right-to-left format, and with its youthful subject matter the title will have great appeal to the teenage manga-reading audience.
