Dangers lurk at every turn in Dopeman Volume 1. Ryo Yoshigami eradicates the metropolitan Japan that we know, as it has now become a warzone for the authorities and a new enemy. The legalisation of narcotics unleashed a wave of supernatural powers among drug addicts.

To battle the new enemies, the ‘D-Unit’ is formed comprising of detectives, who alongside the reader, are plunged into a superhuman doping conflict. The gripping story unfolds in a dark dystopia reminiscent of the hit anime Psycho-Pass, which Yoshigami also had a hand in creating as a screenwriter of the third season and author of the franchise’s short novels.

Now, fans have the chance to delve even deeper into his immersive worlds, exploring moral dilemmas and complex characters. Readers will quickly find themselves captivated by the conflict they are immediately thrown into, but perhaps also be morally torn. While it may be ‘right’ to side with the ‘D-Unit’, who are attempting to restore law and order, the powerful and cunning ‘Dopemen’ have a swagger about them as they wreak havoc across Japan.

While narcotics have bestowed fascinating and destructive powers, it will be adrenaline coursing through the reader’s veins as they are consumed by the mayhem wrought in Dopeman. Against the backdrop of a Japan corrupted by drugs, the stage is set for epic confrontations and devastating battles.
