Description
Previously published in three installments, the complete run of comic master Osamu Tezuka’s enduring classic is collected in one volume. A samurai lord barters his newborn son’s organs to forty-eight demons in exchange for power on the battlefield, but the abandoned infant survives with the help of a medicine man, who equips him with primitive yet lethal prosthetics. The wronged son sets out to hunt down the demons and reclaim his body one piece at a time before confronting his father. Along the way, he encounters an orphan who claims to be the greatest thief in Japan. Beneath its swashbuckling surface, Dororo offers a thoughtful allegory about becoming what one is, since nobody is born whole.
