FOUR DARK OUTLAWS AND THE PHOTONUCLEAR MAN Fourteen-year-old Zaha Sanko is the most wanted man in the universe. Wherever he goes, everybody tries to kill him, but things got unusually dire when his enemies send an immortal “photonuclear man” to try and snuff him out. Somehow, Sanko and company survive, and decide to make a pit stop at Darknest, the mysterious planet of darkness. Darknest holds all sorts of secrets, but the biggest of all might be Hajime Damemaru, one of Sanko’s companions. Just who is Damemaru, and how does he keep coming back to life?

Zaha Sanko's body has great and terrible powers -- they say that possessing his bones will grant you any wish, even the desire to become ruler of the universe. But Sanko is still a teenage dude with his own life, and he isn't about to let every monstrous lowlife in the galaxy rip him limb from limb. He and his skeletal buddy Avakian will use their dark powers to fend off any murder attempts while they search space for whomever put this curse on Sanko's bones... because killing them might end the madness. (And then Sanko can celebrate with his favorite spaghetti.)

A FISTFUL OF BONES Zaha Sanko is the most wanted man in the universe. They say that if you claim his bones, you’ll receive anything your heart desires. Having the entire galaxy trying to kill you all the time is kind of a drag when you’re just fourteen years old, but Sanko has the mysterious power of darkness on his side, not to mention a talking spaceship and three horribly powerful space weirdos. Together, they’ve stayed one step ahead of the interstellar megacorporation Photosfere and an ancient cult that calls itself the Lighthead Order. But now, those two organizations are about to join forces to create a brand-new secret weapon!

A WILDLY CREATIVE NEW MANGA SERIES FROM THE CREATOR OF DOROHEDORO IN WHICH NECROMANCY, SPACE ACTION, AND DARK HUMOR COLLIDE! Everyone in space wants Zaha Sanko dead, thanks to the legend that whoever claims his bones will obtain their heart’s desire. Being public enemy number one makes life pretty hard for a young guy like Sanko, but so far he’s been the one doing the bone collecting. Sanko and his skeletal buddy Avakian break in their brand new ship, cruising the spacelanes in a galaxy full of bizarre customers. One of them is Hajime Damemaru, a self-described “normal guy” who might have a hidden power…and the enmity of the company out for Sanko’s life.

To undo the spell, they're hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they'll kill the right one. But when En, the head Sorcerer, gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of "cleaners" into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds.

LIGHT MAKES RIGHT The galaxy's least favorite outlaws continue their journey through the cosmos, one step ahead of the very long list of people who want to rip out Zaha Sanko's bones. Maybe someday they'll figure out why everybody thinks his bones grant wishes, but for now it's just a weird fact of life. Sure enough, almost immediately after setting down on the planet Kenzarn, Sanko and pals once again find themselves locked in mortal combat with the zealous Lighthead Order. But when the group gets separated, Sanko is faced with his toughest challenge yet—an old classmate, back for revenge!

BRIGHT LIGHTS AND DARKNEST NIGHTS Zaha Sanko is one of the most dangerous men in the universe, but getting half your skin melted off will put a cramp in anyone's style. The Photonuclear Man created by the Lighthead Order has succeeded where so many others have failed, and they finally have a chance to harvest one of Sanko's legendary bones. Those bones are said to grant any wish--but Sanko would really rather hold onto them. Meanwhile, his buddies Avakian and Damemaru are in hot pursuit, rushing to the Holy Zone to stage a desperate rescue. The stage is set for a huge battle between dark and light!

Once a year, hordes of the dead rise and roam the streets of the Hole, hungry for live flesh. And every year, Caiman and Nikaido sign up for the local zombie-killing contest! Whoever sends the most zombies back into the ground will win some fantastic prizes. But the fun ends quickly when En's cleaners finally track down Caiman and Nikaido. Somebody's going to lose their head. Literally.

While En seeks out a new partner with unique magic powers, his crew has a run-in with an underground organization that controls the distribution of "black powder," a magic-enhancing drug used by weaker Sorcerers. Meanwhile, Caiman and Nikaido spend New Year's in the haunted mansion of a mysterious doctor who specializes in the anatomy of Sorcerers. The doctor reveals to them the only known portal to the Sorcerers' dimension...

A blood-spattered battle between diabolical sorcerers and the monsters they created. Caiman and Nikaido return to the Hole, where Doc and Kasukabe manage to cure Nikaido of her deadly fungal affliction. But a prowler outside Central Hospital is watching and waiting for an opportunity to steal her away. Fujita returns to the Hole to finally kill Caiman himself. He gets close when he’s recruited for a baseball match between Central Hospital and Hole Peace Hospital, but his plans change when he spots an old friend. Meanwhile, in the Sorcerer’s dimension, a little accident transforms Noi into a hideous monster. It’s up to Shin to stop her before she kills everyone.

Caiman has left the Hole behind for the Sorcerers' dimension in an attempt to unravel the mysteries of his past. As the Sorcerers' "Blue Night" festival draws to a close, Nikaido finds herself taken captive. Supernatural crime-syndicate boss En has taken an inordinate interest in her abilities, which may be far different, and far more powerful, than anyone suspects. Oblivious to his best friend's danger, Caiman continues his quest to determine his true identity, picking up some unexpected help—and meat pies—in the process. But once he gets wind of her predicament, he makes a beeline for En's heavily guarded fortress of a mansion. Prison confessions, daring escapes, strange tattoos, unexpected reunions, and devils aplenty abound in this volume of Dorohedoro!

Deep in the world of sorcerers, Caiman devises a daring plan to sneak into En's mansion under the guise of a meat-pie competition, posing as Tanba's wife (!) in order to infiltrate the darkest recesses of the crime lord’s sprawling estate. Unfortunately, the contract Nikaido was forced to sign with En is affecting her memory, and she may not even remember Caiman when he manages to get to her. Meanwhile, the Professor and his friends engineer their own escape from En's dungeon with the help of a surprising friend from the Professor's past. And finally, the mysterious Risu does a little digging of his own, tracking down the Cross-Eye hideout in a distant town.
