As we know, we lost Kentaro Miura, one of the world's great manga . The passing of author Kentaro Miura took all fans by surprise in the early hours of May 20, 2021. The mangaka passed away on May 6 at 2:48 PM due to anacute aortic dissection.
Where can I read the Berserk manga?
The manga, illustrated and written by Kentaro Miura, Berserk began in 1989 and, due to the long intervals between the publication of each volume, the story is still ongoing. There is no pattern to the manga's hiatuses, which currently has 40 volumes.
Therefore, in Brazil, the work is published by Panini, in a Deluxe Edition format. The publisher also released an Official Guide to the manga, which contains official information and artwork.
Can I watch the Berserk anime without having read the manga?
If you're interested in watching the anime, you can start with the first adaptation from 1997 produced by Studio OLM. Berserk: Kenpū Denki has 25 episodes and adapts the "Black Swordsman" and "Golden Age" arcs. Here, you can follow Guts' origins as well as the traumatic events mentioned above.
In addition, you can watch the films Berserk – Golden Age Act I: Egg of the Supreme Emperor, Berserk – Golden Age Act II: The Battle of Doldrey, and Berserk – Golden Age Act III: The Fall. These animated films adapt almost the same events as the first anime, but with greater fidelity to the original work.
A second anime, called Berserk, was released in 2016 by the studio Liden Films. The 24 episodes focus on events that take place after the Golden Age. The anime was not well received by fans, but it is the adaptation that most closely follows the current arcs of the manga.
Is the Berserk manga going to end?
In 2019, author Miura revealed that Berserk was currently "in its final phase." He promised that "many shocking events would occur after the current arc," but did not specify a deadline for the manga's end.
Finally, what we have to say is that, given the great potential of the work, only in the insane mind of Kentaro Miura could the long-awaited ending that all fans desire be kept hidden.
