There are 4 Dororo volumes. There were supposed to be much, much more, but the series was discontinued. Too bad. This is one of my favorite Tezuka stories.
There is a feature film in the works (or it could already be completed), in which Dororo is a teenage girl instead of a boy.

Or they could be repackaging the series in three books. The last story in Dororo volume 1 is continued in volume 2. There was also a 26 episode anime that I had never seen, but would like to get my hands on.
Apparently the movie is already out on DVD. It was a Hong Kong production shot in New Zealand. Here is a link to a trailer:
