Berserk Volume 42 [Paperback]

The dark fantasy horror manga Berserk returns with a new volume to continue the saga and carry forth creator Kentaro Miura’s legacy.

The first new BERSERK chapter since the passing of original creator Kentaro Miura in 2021. Volume 42 has been made by Miura’s longtime assistants Studio Gaga, under the supervision of his closest friend, Kouji Mori.

The shocking appearance of Griffith on Elf Island has provoked rage and terror in Guts and Casca…and carved a rift into the enchanted isle itself, setting loose a corrosive horde of devourers from beneath the earth! If the Black Swordsman cannot rely upon even his legendary blade, escape by ship seems the only hope for survival…but not everyone is leaving Elf Island together!

FOR MATURE READERS.

• CONTAINS A DOUBLE-SIDED, FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATED FOLDOUT!

“Berserk is known for both its sophisticated artwork and a story that infuses sword fights and supernatural encounters with poignant emotionalism, knotty moral dilemmas and complex themes.”—NPRKentaro Miura created his first manga, Miuranger, at age 10, drawing the series for an audience of his classmates; by high school he had moved into Japan’s dynamic self-publishing (doujinshi) scene. Futanabi, a manga Miura had submitted for admission to art school, was nominated for Best New Author Work in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine (today the home of Blue Lock and Rent-A-Girlfriend). In 1989, Miura began the dark fantasy manga series Berserk, his life’s work, with the Japanese publisher Hakusensha. AdlcÖ
