MANGA: Search and Destroy Ch. 14

The truth about Doro comes out, and the story begins to rocket towards its conclusion.

Hello, and welcome back to Atsushi Kaneko’s Search and Destroy Volume 3, based on the manga Dororo by Osamu Tezuka. This is the second chapter of volume 3, and this post for paid subscribers to Mangasplaining Extra, with CBZs and PDFs of this chapter at the end. Everyone else, please enjoy these few preview pages or the free chapters available below:

Search and Destroy Previous Chapters:
Volume One: Introduction (Free) | 00-01 (Free) | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 |
Volume Two: 07 (Free) | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12
Volume Three: 13 (Free)

This chapter is full of spoilers about who Doro really is, and we HIGHLY recommend not jumping in here. Working on this last volume of Search and Destroy was really something else, seeing all of the disparate threads get woven together into an incredible conclusion is something else. We hope you enjoy the ride. The remaining chapters of this volume will be released every-other-week beginning today.
