The anime universe continues to grow in recent years, and much of that success comes from the original material that started many franchises: manga. 2024 was no different. Berserk won Best Manga of 2024 at the Golden Issue Awards, reports Evan Valentine of the Comic Book website.
Therefore, in the competition, Berserk competed with heavyweight titles such as Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, which were concluding their stories, and veterans like One Piece , which were continuing their journeys; the competition was fierce.
Current arc of the Berserk manga
Currently, the manga is in the "Exile in 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 an invasion of demons to devastate Kushan.
Therefore, the choice of Berserk may seem controversial given the endings 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, standing out in both narrative and illustrations.
Nominees for the 2024 Golden Issue Award for Best Manga:
- Berserk – WINNER
- Jujutsu Kaisen
- Kagurabachi
- My Hero Academia
- One Piece
Ultimately, despite the strong competition, the journey of Guts and his companions proves that Berserk still reigns supreme in the world of manga.
