The editorial department of Hakusensha 's Young Animal announced that the Berserk manga , by the late Kentarou Miura , will continue with this year's 13th issue of Young Animal on June 24th, and will run until the end of the "Fantasy Arc/Elf Island Chapter," with a new arc beginning afterward.
It is worth noting that from now on the manga will have the following credits: "Original work by Kentarou Miura, manga by Studio Gaga, supervised by Kouji Mori ".
Studio Gaga is Miura's studio, with his assistants and apprentices who also worked on Berserk alongside him. Mori is a close childhood friend of Miura, whom Miura frequently consulted for details on the plot of Berserk. Mori stated in the press release that he "knows the story of Berserk inside and out.".
In the statement, Mori noted that he had discussed the ending of Berserk with Miura since the manga's iconic "Eclipse" event 30 years ago. After Miura's death, he considered discussing the ending through an interview, or through some illustrations with an accompanying article, but deemed these methods insufficient. He welcomed Studio Gaga's offer to continue the manga and promises to "recall the details as much as possible and tell the story," assuring readers that, although the narrative is imperfect, he believes it "can almost tell the story that Miura wanted to tell."
Both Mori and the Young Animal editorial department promised not to "deviate from Mr. Miura's own words.".
