Check it out:
Although Mori was unsure about continuing Berserk without the original author, he decided to take on the role because the story needed to continue.
"I thought maybe I could do it. I think Miura would be angry if I didn't do anything, so I made the decision."
Furthermore, along with the Studio Gaga , he debated in several meetings what would be the best way to conclude his late friend's manga.
“During a three- to four-hour meeting, I explained the development to the Studio Gaga team. Afterwards, I exchanged personal messages with the head. I gave recommendations on the drafts, but the final artwork is Studio Gaga's work. The illustration skills on our team, including the head Kurosaki-kun, are extraordinary. I believe that after they finish Berserk, they will become artists who will leave their mark on the world of manga.”
