In Death City stands the Death Weapon Meister Academy, founded by Shinigami, the grim reaper himself. Built to preserve order, the school trains Meisters and Demon Weapons—individuals who can transform into weapons—to protect humanity from evil. A Meister's ultimate aim is to forge a "Death Scythe" fit for Shinigami's use, which requires their weapon partner to devour the souls of 99 wicked humans and one witch. Maka Albarn and her partner Soul Eater "Soul" Evans are students striving to create such a scythe. They are accompanied by the loud Black☆Star and his partner Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, along with the perfectionist Death the Kid—called Kid—and his partners, the twins Patricia "Patty" and Elizabeth "Liz" Thompson. These determined students all strive to become the top Meister and Demon Weapon duo, navigating mishaps, assignments, and numerous school challenges. Yet many mysteries surround them, and as fresh adversaries emerge and hidden truths come to light, Maka, Soul, and their companions must battle to safeguard the academy, Death City, and the entire world from threats far more sinister than mere humans.

Hole—a dark, decaying, and lawless district where the strong prey on the weak and death is a routine event—lives up to its name. Cut off from ethics and order, it serves as a playground for the magic users who rule it. As a race occupying the highest levels of their society, the magic users view Hole's inhabitants as nothing more than insects. Murdered, mutilated, and turned into experiments without hesitation, the powerless residents of Hole fill the halls of its hospital every day. With free access in and out of this cesspool and little opposition to their authority, the magic users seem unstoppable to most—except for a few. Caiman, more reptile than human, is one such individual. He hunts them on a reckless quest for answers, armed only with a trusted pair of bayonets and his immunity to magic. Cursed by his appearance and tormented by nightmares, magic users are his only leads to restoring his life to normal. With his biggest obstacle being his own appetite, his female companion Nikaidou—who runs the restaurant Hungry Bug—is his greatest ally. Set in a gritty world of hellish design, Dorohedoro balances comedy and lightheartedness with death and carnage. Taking many twists and turns while following the lives of Hole's residents, it weaves a unique world of unearthly origin and dreary appearance not for the squeamish or easily disturbed.
