Synopsis
Guts was born from the corpse of a hanged woman and has been fighting for every day of his life since. A sword too large to be called a sword, a past built entirely from violence and loss, a body that should have broken years ago—and a will that has never once submitted. Berserk is Kentaro Miura's masterwork: a dark fantasy of unprecedented scope and craft, following Guts from his mercenary childhood through his years with the Band of the Falcon—the charismatic, brilliant, secretly monstrous Griffith—and through the nightmare that follows when those years end in the darkest betrayal in manga history. The manga is ongoing under Miura's long-time colleagues at Studio Gaga and writer Kouji Mori following Miura's passing in May 2021, handling the material with evident care for the author's vision. New serialized chapters release in Young Animal, roughly every other month. For those who haven't read it: there is no manga more worth your time.
