About this deal

But if they are successful and Casca reclaims her sanity, will she be able to face Guts the Black Swordsman and the harrowing memories of her gruesome ordeal he is sure to trigger?

The "Fantasia Arc/Elf Island Chapter" finished with chapters released from June 24, 2022, [65] [75] to May 26, 2023; [76] a new story arc started on September 22 of the same year. I’ve also added our review of the Berserk Deluxe Editions on YouTube below if you’d like an inside and all-around look at the first volume. His tragic and traumatic past, unfolded in the Golden Age arc, shows Guts as a more complex character. Howard and, in comparing the volume to the previous ones, he wrote that series dropped down a notch, although he stated that it was not a "disastrous drop," but "just the series falling back into a comfortable, classical adventure mode.

The lead characters Guts and Griffith consistently challenge these themes and definitions through their shocking yet horrifyingly human actions. Berserk: War Cry—Postcard Collection ( ベルセルク ポストカードブック WAR CRY (雄叫び), Beruseruku Posutokādo Bukku Uō Kurai (Otakebi)), released on August 20, 1998. Volume 14 includes the final chapters written and illustrated by Miura as well as the Berserk Official Guidebook, which contains a ton of extra info about Berserk's world and its lore.

This volume collects creator Kentaro Miura's final two volumes of Berserk along with the Berserk Official Guidebook and two fold-out color posters. In 2002, Berserk earned Miura the Award for Excellence at the sixth installment of the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, being awarded along with Takehiko Inoue, who won the Grand Prize for Vagabond. The lettering of the cover and spine has a metallic red foil look to it that shines in the light and really pops. While attending college at Nihon University, in 1988, Kentaro Miura debuted a 48-page manga known as Berserk Prototype, an introduction to the current Berserk fantasy world.The first volume of Dark Horse's deluxe edition was one of the highest-selling manga volumes of 2022. While Berserk is more so a dark fantasy manga, its pages are full of so much horror that it landed a spot on my top horror manga of all time list. Berserk was adapted into a 25-episode anime television series by OLM, which covered the Golden Age story arc, and was broadcast from October 1997 to March 1998. The outside is covered in black pleather, which gives the book a nice texture and overall appearance. I originally wrote these individual reviews back during my first reading of the series, so keep that in mind.

I’m so happy they made these Deluxe Editions hardcovers and that they have an eye, which gives some space between the spine and the binding and allows the book to lay flat while reading. The series also explores human nature and morality, as characters struggle between becoming good human beings or falling into madness and evil. Guts and his companions have finally arrived at the sea, but their respite is short-lived as bloodthirsty beasts possessed by malefic Kushan sorcery emerge from the surf. Miura inspired me as well and I regard him for being the person who taught me just how influential, meaningful and life changing art and literature can be when I first read his series over a decade ago. Giganto Maxia is Miura's first completely original new work in 24 years since Berserk 's "The Black Swordsman" was released in August 1989.

Even though they are slower to release, I have nothing negative to say about the Berserk Deluxe Edition volumes themselves. Writing for Syfy Wire, Eric Frederiksen said: " Berserk is one of the longest-running manga, and consistently one of the darkest out there, but also one of the most emotionally powerful and rewarding. In 2016, Berserk ranked 38th on the 17th "Book of the Year" list by Da Vinci magazine; [190] it ranked 44th on the 22nd list in 2022. Miura commented about the influence of shōjo manga on the series, stating that it is about "expressing every feeling powerfully. Final Fantasy 14's Naoki Yoshida on the death of Berserk creator Kentaro Miura: 'It's unfathomable' ".
