The anime universe has continued to grow in recent years, and much of this success comes from the source material that launched many franchises: manga. 2024 was no exception. Berserk won the Golden Issue Awards for best manga of 2024, reports Evan Valentine of ComicBook.
Therefore, in the dispute, Berserk competed with heavyweight titles like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia ending their stories, and veterans like One Piece continuing their journeys, the competition was fierce.
Current arc of the Berserk manga
Currently, the manga is in the "Exile of the East" arc, where Guts and his allies are taken to the nation of Kushan. Old enemies unite against Griffith and his twisted version of the Band of the Hawk . However, the White Hawk is one step ahead, bringing a demon invasion to devastate Kushan.
Therefore, the choice of Berserk may seem controversial given the outcomes of My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen , but the work of the team led by Mori is undeniable. Although using the notes and conversations left by Miura, the team has delivered chapters that honor the creator's legacy, excelling in both narrative and illustration.
Nominees for the 2024 Golden Issue Award for Best Manga:
- Berserk – WINNER
- Jujutsu Kaisen
- Kagurabachi
- My Hero Academia
- One Piece
Ultimately, despite the stiff competition, the journey of Guts and his companions proves that Berserk still reigns supreme in the manga world.
