In the statement, available in five languages, the publisher clarifies: "To our readers, the production of a Berserk on the indicated Twitter account and website, however, such production was not authorized by Kentaro Miura (Studio Gaga), the copyright holder. Furthermore, the videos accompanying these announcements are being shown without permission." This notice made it clear that, while there are many fan-made projects, this particular one violates the work's copyright.
Studio Eclypse 's project , which gained popularity on social media for promising a faithful adaptation of the original manga, has grown in controversy over the studio's Patreon donations, which many consider an ethical violation for unofficial projects.
The situation raised an important discussion: how far can fans go without infringing on creators' rights? The future of Berserk: The Black Swordsman is uncertain, but Hakusensha's warning serves as a reminder of the legal risks of such projects.
