~Hey, guys. Season 2 got announced so I guess this blog is back from the dead. XD It's been a couple of years, but I think I managed to channel the same art style from the few pieces I put on here before.

The cats will make a comeback, but I really wanted to follow up on the Mastiff Noi idea. (More sketches [hopefully] to come.)

Everything is the same but Noi is one of these:

Gyoza post! (It is vegetable gyoza. Sadly unlike Nikaido's pork recipe.)

How many people can relate to "that food thing" where you never thought about trying some kind of food until media gives you the idea?

I get sushi from this place once in a while, but after Dorohedoro, I noticed the gyoza on the menu and thought I'd give it a try. Now it's a regular part of my order. Good stuff! Not the first time this kind of thing has happened to me either. XD

No regrets!

DOROHEDORO HOT-TAKES BEGIN HERE!

Let's start with the title~ (Essay incoming)

One of the greatest personal stories I have in regards to trying to feel out what the series was about is when I read the title and thought: "Why is it called that?"

Instead of looking it up, I like to try and figure these kinds of things out because you never really know with anime/manga titles and mysteries are fun to crack, aye? Some titles are names of characters, some are plot points, some are just nonsense, and some are random words from other languages to help describe the series. So what is "Dorohedoro"?

Well it turns out there was a footnote in a scanlation that explained the title translates literally to "Mud and Sludge," and in the context of the later portion of the series that title makes perfect sense. Most fans of the Dorohedoro are probably familiar with that bit, and even of you're not a manga reader the dystopian setting of "The Hole" and the absolute cluster-fluff of violence and gore that pervades it earns it this gritty title.

But the essay doesn't stop there. Why? Because I decided to think that "Dorohedoro" sounded like a nonsense title and picked out a series of words I thought might be represented in it. Ironically, while I was completely off the mark, it turns out the wording I got out of it somehow came across as still relevant to some of the series imagery and themes. Therefore, posts on this blog will also tagged with that uninformed interpretation:

"DOOR, HEAD, DOOR"

Someone: What is Dorohedoro about?  Me: 

(This edit was also a part of my Dorohedoro review, yes. I thought I’d share it now before I get the manga back from my sisters--who have both very much enjoyed it.)

[nekohedoro]

Yes, this is what I'm here for.

Things no one needs to know: 2

I got the final volume! I now have all of Dorohedoro in hard copy paperback format! Now it's time to reread it!

On a related note, this thing was on backorder from the bookstore. Apparently there is actually a national manga shortage here in the states. O_o Instead of waiting for a reprint I just paid a little extra through a third party seller on Amazon. It's in perfect condition and the number of pages in this thing made the "little extra" money worth it! ♡350 PAGES!♡

[nekohedoro]

I am now up to 20 volumes!

Just 3 more to go. *-* (And they keep getting thicker!)

did ya know that Kaimans eyes are described as red gold in the guide book? now you know

[nekohedoro]

Tol bois. I am weak against them. No matter how baby Risu is, we gotta remember he's actually a giant. XD

It's the lock-screen on my phone. The time covers Nikaido's face when I turn it on, but that's not important. . .

Things no one needs to know: 1

I have collected half of the Dorohedoro manga since this thing showed up in the book store, and the second half is taking waaaay too long to show up (even by order). 

I WILL own this entire series, and it WILL have it’s own spot on the weeb shelf. The blog posts and hot-takes are gonna be comin’ in hot once I binge read it all again.

~AU in which smol Nikaido finds a very strange cat. . .

Stop staring, it’s rude! He’s hypoallergenic!

Oh someone please tell me this is an accurate translation of something she actually said.
