Dororo Re:verse

Dororo Re:verse, a reboot of the popular 1960s manga, Dororo. Set during the Sengoku period, the story follows Hyakkimaru, a young man born with his body stolen by demons. To reclaim his missing body parts, Hyakkimaru hunts down and slays the demons who took them.

For years, Hyakkimaru lived in the shadows of society, tracking demons in secret. One day, a young girl named Roro approaches him with a fragment of his body, marking her as someone tangled in the web of his mysterious past. Bound by a contract to help recover his body, Hyakkimaru embarks on a final quest to hunt the remaining demons, this time to become fully human.

This reboot of a legendary manga resonates with new and old fans alike. While retaining the fantastical elements of the original like Hyakkimaru’s demon hunts and supernatural body, Dororo Re:verse reimagines the story with a modern twist. The introduction of Roro adds a new dynamic to Hyakkimaru’s solitary journey. Her presence gives him a renewed sense of purpose and humanity as he rediscovers what it means to be human through their growing bond.

Beautiful art and action sequences are a hallmark of the manga, capturing readers with its blend of historical drama and supernatural fantasy. Poignant themes of what constitutes humanity and the human desire for purpose and connection further elevate the story. Although following a standard manga format, Dororo Re:verse incorporates creative liberties to revitalize the timeless story of Hyakkimaru’s quest to regain his stolen humanity and defeat the demons of the past that still haunt him.
