Dorohedoro, Vol. 1 introduces us to Caiman, a man cursed with a reptile head by a sorcerer, leaving him with no memory of his past. Adding to the mystery, a spectre of a man resides within him. However, Caiman possesses a unique advantage: he is completely immune to magic.

Together with his best friend, Nikaido, Caiman embarks on a quest in the Hole, hunting down sorcerers in search of the one who can lift his curse while eliminating the rest. The situation escalates when En, the head of the sorcerers, hears about a lizard-man who is targeting sorcerers. In response, En dispatches a crew of "cleaners" into the Hole, sparking a war between two worlds.
