In spite of the beautiful imagery, this is one of the most misanthropic things I've ever seen.

It's basically just a disaster movie.

It's kind of interesting reading something with no character development. When the average lifespan of anyone is less than 2 panels...

Most disaster movies at least give someone to root for, even if they are a handsome youngish male of the same ethnicity as the producer and audience. This, has nothing. And this story goes so far as to say that everyone deserves to die due to their meaningless existences.

New immortal hounds out, on mobile and too lazy to link it, but I am going to say it's probably best if folks just stop reading it for a while until poo poo starts getting revealed because right now it's pretty much just torture porn. Almost nothing happened this chapter outside of repeated beating and disemboweling of the 'heroes' by their ridiculously evil bosses.

Like they're so cartoonishly evil that I can't really bother with the series until some kind of big reveal about the nature of immortality in that world comes up because they've been pussyfooting around it since the beginning, and the UNDO gently caress dangling it in your face chapter after chapter is so undeserving of tension and boring

Dunno what you're talking about, gratuitous gore was always part of Immortal Hounds. I still like it though.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
I think, daresay, proverbially speaking of course, that the goose has, indeed, been let loose.

Oh that's not what I mean, just that they spent the entire chapter beating the poo poo out/cutting up of Windchime and the other girl. Nothing really happened outside of ~Goose~ showing up. It's the weakest chapter in the series so far, in my opinion. But my issue was more that it's felt a bit stagnant for a while outside of the horrifying reveal of Snow White's "immortality". Like the author wants to trickle new information to the readers, but has set the pace badly, so it's less a trickle and more like a slightly leaky faucet

I'm just frustrated that one of my favorite series is dragging its feet a bit. I still love the series and hope for the best. It's similar to people complaining about the Dressrosa arc dragging in the One Piece thread, they just want it to get on with it.

Hopefully you get what I mean, I've not been able to sleep since yesterday so probably not explaining things well.

This is a good way to express your opinion as opposed to "everyone should stop reading this because I don't like it"

Also I assumed you only meant this chapter because the last three chapters were the Snow White stuff and Kenzaki and his crew investigating that, and I didn't think they were especially stagnant or torture porn-ish. I don't think we're going to learn much about what's actually going on with the immortality and people coming from what is presumably a more normal world until they do because it would be pretty stupid for the audience to know what's going on when half the cast is still trying to figure that out

Words can't do it justice, but:

"To save your restaurant you need to learn to care about your customers. There's a legendary waiter somewhere in this city, every restaurant he worked at was successful, so clearly to find him and hire him is the answer to all your problems."

So Ban goes on a quest looking for that waiter. Who disappeared ten years ago, and might not be alive anymore (yes, this gets pointed out).

First stop is a restaurant the waiter worked at. Ban and the friend who goes with him get locked into the kitchen where they are confronted by the kitchen staff: "Tell us where the legendary waiter is or we'll kill the both of you! We got a bone to pick with this guy, since he left our restaurant has been struggling and he hosed the head chef's wife!"

They have to fight their way out, and barely make it.

At first I kinda wanted to say i don't like En for turning Nikaido into a no-agency mind-controlled nazi damsel in distress, but that's more on the author for introducing that dumb as gently caress storyline. Good on her for dropping that relatively quickly, though. That aside, En is really okay, though not as rad as literally every other character in this kickass manga.

I know, right? Everything about it is just so much better and more unique than 99% of other fantasy/sci-fi manga. Almost all fantasy settings seem to share a bunch of standard tropes, but Dorohedoro just invents its setting from the ground up. It's easily one of my top 3 favorite manga.

edit: There is one thing that I think could have been done better. All the stuff with Kaiman/guy with all the heads was pretty confusing and didn't many much sense to me until very recently.

I'm actually somewhat suspicious since this work seems heavily inspired by the ellusive Shirow Masamune, yet is also on par with it.
