About this deal

Born in tragedy, raised in abuse and neglect, young Guts is hardened into a warrior of fearsome prowess and fearless will, drawing the attention of the charismatic Griffith, commander of the elite mercenary legion, the Band of the Hawk. Kentaro Miura's Berserk has cast its enormous shadow for three decades, creating an international legion of acolytes and inspiring a parade of TV series, feature films, and video games. In 1988, Miura bounced back with a 48-page manga known as Berserk Prototype, as an introduction to the current Berserk fantasy world. Author Kentaro Miura even said he saw the series more as a shoujo (girl's comics) because of its over arching theme of love and despair.

Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death. And now the badass champion of adult fantasy manga is presented in an oversized 7'' x 10'' deluxe hardcover edition, nearly 700 pages amassing the first three Berserk volumes, with following volumes to come to serve up the entire series in handsome bookshelf collections. All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you!Getting to see Zod too helps build for more of the supernatural side of it, and like before, it is horrifying.

Guts is sold for a night of "pleasure" to a dirty disgusting man and the poor boy, despite his try to fight back, doesn't do it.Berserk Deluxe 2, really takes the time to show us Guts’ backstory, from his devastatingly sad childhood, to his first run in with Griffith and the Band of the Hawk. I enjoy the experience of reading a manga (which is quite different from reading a novel), I enjoy the art very much, the way the panels are structured and the way the authors plays around with adding or taking away detail depending on the scene. Even just as a piece of art made largely by one person over 30 years, Berserk really IS beautiful and astounding. Caska is a woman that was born in a cruel world ruled by men that see women as nothing more than tools.

This volume is somewhat surprisingly an origin story, that lasts the entire width of this hardcover. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Once again, immaculate artwork throughout and lots of character depth made for such an excellent reading experience. Guts, determined to make mincemeat of the Count, assaults the castle and carves a swath of blood-soaked destruction through the Count's minions.The Deluxe version of Guts adventure continues, still in the gorgeous new hardcover binding, and still containing the innard-spilling antics of aplty named Guts and his tiny, fae companion Puck.

In 2002, Kentarou Miura received the second place in the Osamu Tezuka Culture Award of Excellence for Berserk. In 2002, Kentaro Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu ( Astro Boy) Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. Towards the end of the volume we also get to see Casca's backstory and how she met Griffith and joined the Band which fits very nicely into the larger story arc. Very well done and a compelling read if you are looking for a beautifully illustrated story and interesting characters. There’s no longer any weird horny ambiguity to scenes that are supposed to be horrifying, and he eventually finds a way less exhausting tonal balance with the introduction of a comic-relief child character.At a young age he was sexually assaulted and betrayed by the only person he believed to be his friend. Except for Nosferatu Zodd there is no epic fight and it's just Griffith's politicking and hinting at how he doesn't respect anyone who follows him. The series has also spawned a whole host of merchandise, both official and fan made, ranging from statues and action figures, to key rings, video games, and a trading card game.
