this flu won't stop me DOROHEDORO SEASON 2 TRAILER HAS GIVEN ME HOPE
The brutal warmth of Q Hayashida’s Dorohedoro.
If you’ve spent enough time digging through the stranger corners of manga, sooner or later you end up at Q Hayashida’s Dorohedoro. And when you first open it, the immediate reaction is often confusion before admiration.
There’s very little known about Hayashida’s creative process as she strays away from media attention. But one thing is certain, she embraces a deliberately dirty visual texture through aggressive pen strokes. Part of this aesthetic comes from Hayashida’s background before entering manga. She studied oil painting and has stated she approaches manga more like painting.
At the same time, Hayashida balances this brutal style with a strange sense of warmth. The Hole feels eerily lived-in. Hanging out in the Hungry Bug, making gyoza together, Nikaido riding on Caiman’s shoulders while Natsuki clings to them, a cozy side you wouldn’t expect from its gritty visuals. The longer you spend with Hayashida’s pages, the more that contrast starts to cling to you.

Some Mud and Sludge was delivered in the mail today.
Nobody does manga like Q Hayashida, her art is basically tailor-made for my sensibilities. Every time I think "this is too sketchy/messy, no one will take me seriously" all I have to do is look at her work and I'm energized. It really helps to see someone else doing the same weird stuff you do.
God, she's the best.
No rules, all is permitted!
