Kouji Mori, a close friend of Miura and responsible for taking over the serialization of the work alongside Studio Gaga, left a moving message in the volume 42.His words reflect not only the weight of the responsibility, but also the deep respect for the author's legacy.

Mori begins by thanking fans for purchasing the new volume, acknowledging that Berserk will continue without Miura and that, naturally, the work will be imperfect. He admits that many may find it difficult to accept this new reality, including himself. However, as a close friend and admirer of Miura, Mori feels it is his duty to carry forward the story that the author so desired to complete.

He emphasizes that the entire team, including the editors and Studio Gaga, is dedicated to honoring Miura's legacy and the grandeur of Berserk. Each volume published from now on will be a reflection of this commitment and love for the work. Mori concludes his message with a heartfelt appeal to fans, asking for their support and understanding as they continue on this exciting and challenging journey.
