In terms of plot, Dororo and Hyakkimaru promises to be schematic: the invincible warrior fights the demons, and then on his way he meets an unbearable kid. In addition, it was first released in 1967. Is the manga still defending itself despite the passage of time?

19.04.2020 Bartosz Stuła 0

Who wouldn't want to be a superhero? I think probably most of us. Especially the kids. They, despite their age and inexperience, can best see good and bad. Well, it was the same with a certain Billy Batson.
