posted on by Anita Tai
Amazon Japan is listing the 13th volume of Satoshi Shiki's The Legend of Dororo and Hyakkimaru (Dororo to Hyakkimaruden) remake manga of Osamu Tezuka's Dororo manga as the final volume for the series. The volume will ship on December 19.
Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the series in English and describes the story:
During Japan's tumultuous Sengoku period, one man sells his son to a pack of devils in exchange for the power to rule. Forty-eight devils take forty-eight pieces of young Hyakkimaru, and the boy is left for dead. But through the assistance of a sage and a series of inventive prosthetics, Hyakkimaru survives. Together with the young thief Dororo, the now-grown Hyakkimaru embarks upon a quest to slay all the demons and retrieve the stolen pieces of his body. This classic story from Osamu Tezuka, the father of modern manga, is now reimagined in this gorgeous new adaptation by Satoshi Shiki.
Shiki launched the manga in Akita Publishing's Monthly Champion RED magazine in October 2018. Akita Publishing shipped the 12th volume on July 18. Seven Seas shipped the 10th volume on September 9 and will ship the 11th volume on March 24.
Shiki ended the Akuma Kōjo (Demon Princess) series in May 2024. The series debuted in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in May 2022. The manga adapts Biyori Harunohi's original story. The sixth and final volume shipped on August 1.
Shiki launched the Casshern R manga, the adaptation of Tatsunoko Production's Shinzō Ningen Casshan original television anime, in Akita Shoten's Monthly Champion RED magazine in September 2024. Chabo Higurashi writes the manga's script.
