Both have a rather large cast of characters which are still nicely managed and get a share of screen time and with often changing perspectives and range from androids, forgotten goddesses, mushroom obsessed mafiosi and masked children. Both surprise with their absurd and sometimes rather dark humour and sudden violence and gore which is toned down in Voynich with the highly stylized art while shown in full detail in the more realistically drawn Dorohedoro. While both series have a rather bleak setting, one on a post war island where landmines, war orphans are regular and long history of colonial oppression is present, the other in a dirty town where supernatural powered sorcerers hunt humans for fun and zombies rise yearly, they show the light and "cute" scenes, whith themes of friendship, love and family while never being to saccharinely sweet.
