This is really a sad tale in some ways. Guts is almost always thrown to the side after being used by someone. And though this is the start of a "family" for guts with the band of hawks, we all know Griffith will betray him due to seeing him in the first arc. So Guts has no choice but to move forward in what seems to be good times with the people he cares for even if we know it won't end well. Berserk Deluxe Volume 9 HC". Dark Horse Comics.

In 1985, Miura applied for the entrance examination of an art college in Nihon University. He submitted Futanabi for examination and was granted admission. This project was later nominated Best New Author work in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. Another Miura manga Noa was published in Weekly Shōnen Magazine the very same year. Due to a disagreement with one of the editors, the manga was stalled and eventually dropped altogether. This is approximately where Miura's career hit a slump. In 1990, the first volume Berserk was released with a relatively limited success. Miura again collaborated with Buronson on manga entitled Japan. Miura's fame grew after Berserk began "The Golden Age" story arc and the huge success of this masterpiece made of him one of the most prominent contemporary manga artists.

The new characters that we meet somehow are unforgettable (even the minor ones). The major characters are top-tier bad asses with complex histories and personalities. Between Griffith and Casca, I struggle to find my favorite supporting character. The interpersonal relationships are interesting and keep you on your toes. A romance between Guts and Griffith seems to be sprouting...maybe? I had to take a break after the eclipse storyline, but by chapter ~130-150 I was just completely enjoying Berserk with no caveats. It’s actually really exciting to see the process of Kentaro Miura becoming much more thoughtful about the characters and the themes he’s trying to convey. 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. And women are people now!!!! I know everyone loves the conflicted holy knight Farnese, but it was specifically when Miura introduced the group of sympathetic prostitutes that I was like…okay. Maybe I can finally open my heart up to Berserk. And I’m glad I did! Even just as a piece of art made largely by one person over 30 years, Berserk really IS beautiful and astounding. I can genuinely understand why it’s considered a masterpiece. in Japanese). Hakusensha. Archived from the original on December 19, 2021 . Retrieved December 21, 2021.
