Description: This is a tale of rage. Rage against hypocrisy injustice exploitation and the wrongs done to a child who grew into a righteous killer Complete in three volumes Search and Destroy transplants the vengeful action of Dororo from feudal Japan into a dystopian future where mercenary robots known as 'creatures serve the human elite and victimise the city's scrabbling desperate masses. The violent death of one of these creatures connects an orphaned thief named Doro with a mysterious girl in a stinking animal hide that conceals deadly cybernetic implants. Who is this mysterious girl? How is she killing one by one the city's most twisted and powerful creatures? And why is she so angry? Originally serialised from 2019 - 2021 in the Japanese manga monthly Tezu Comi Search and Destroy is a brilliantly - crafted thriller about an outsider looking for meaning and vengeance in the unjust world that took everything away from her. Kaneko populates a stunning high - contrast setting that echoes postwar Cuba as much as Tokyo with an unforgettable cast of scrappy heroes and skin - crawling monsters on a nonstop ride full of action and suspense. This authorised retelling updates the rebellious '60s spirit of the original Dororo for the equally tumultuous 2020s mixing Tezuka's signature dark yet playful storytelling sense with Kaneko's own wide range of influences which include Western cartoonists like Daniel Clowes and Charles Burns as well as filmmakers like David Lynch. The result is not only one of the best sci - fi manga of recent years but also one of the most visually rich and distinctive works of graphic storytelling in any genre or language.
