So I've been reading the Berserk manga again, from the start this time instead of picking up where the anime left off and oh my god how, so good.
Anyone else read it recently or thought about picking it up ?
For those that do for some reason not know what Berserk is about, it follows Gatsu / Guts who is a professional mercenary from birth basically and his struggles through a world filled with evil. First chapter was released in 1990 and it is ongoing.
The manga is very gory and gothic, set in a medieval setting in a mystical world.
Anime series portraying a small part of the total story was released and a new one will come out soon'ish.
It's easily one of my favourite manga series of all time. Shame it's going to take another decade or two to finish. I just hope I live long enough to see it end.

I do hope he starts writing more chapters , hard to wait months to know what happens next.
I read all chapters like a month ago when I was ill and this manga is just insane. I'm waiting for more chapters to come to read it. In the beginning I was hesitating to continue as it was so dark and brutal that I wasn't even sure if I could finish reading the chapters. It was even darker and worse than a thriller from a movie. Definitely one of the darkest manga I've seen so far (in the beginning) to a more modern adventurous manga with less gore. I would recommend this only to 16+ as this is just an insane manga :D
He starts being a bit faster, usually since a lot of years now, he was doing 3 chapters in one month and then took a 5 months break. This time the break is a bit more than 1 month (24 june to be precise for the next chapter).
I've read most of the manga a while back. I should read it again from the beginning to the latest volume. As for the anime, it's my favourite but man do I wish for another season or something. I read that there's going to be some film being made. I would rather have more of the anime though.
I've been reading it for ages, anime didn't really even begin to compare to the manga though imo. Makes for a decent introduction to serie I guess. There should be also a new anime coming out soonish, unless if I got trolled really hard.
One of the five short teasers, does get me pumped.
Afraid Berserk will never come to an end though with the like six months waiting times between chapters. Luckily Miura is still fairly "young" so we have time.

They are going to do another series of anime. I think they'll actually do the whole manga this time around. Hope so at least.
Love the dark style the the manga and the artist's drawing style. He uses a lot of detail, even in backgrounds and it really adds something to the manga.
Yeah I've read the whole thing a couple times, when I'm not just opening a random chapter and killing time. But since it takes so long for each issue to come out (like my other favorite ongoing manga, Gunnm:Last Order) I try to take long breaks from reading new releases, so that I can get a substantial development each time.

I envy your patience I even read spoilers if I can get my hands on them.

I do the same too not with just Berserk but pretty much every manga I read.
easily one of the greatest manga ever made. i've re-read the series from start to finish about half a dozen times now waiting for new chapters to be released. honestly don't mind the long wait if it means that the quality will always be top notched.
