Berserk is a gritty, semi-realistic manga set in medieval england. The story follows our grim hero "Gutts" on his mysterious quest. He's pursued by all manner of demons, bandits, elves and the like. IF you have read beyond chapter six and wish to discuss it here please use the following spoiler tags:

I've read about 200 chapters now, and I gotta say, this is one impressive beast of a story.

It has some low points, where the author seems to be masturbating onto the page, but it has a lot of strengths, too.

I can't believe he said he's only like halfway done with this thing.

so i've been re-reading berserk and i've noticed lots of little detail that I missed the first time through. For instance:
Spoilers from volume 13:

The skull knight's horse has a clasp that looks like the female member of the god hand on its chest.

Little things like that.

EDIT:
Josh pointed this one out to me:

The succubus that kills corkus is the same one gutts was having his way with in the first chapter:
Chapter 1:

Some chapter in volume 13:

I think we should continue that. Stating volume or chapter, before posting said spoiler.

VOL 14

I have also seen that succubus now that I am beyond VOL14. Also whats with the hornet fairies, was that the last creature we see before we enter the 100+ chapter flashback?

I started reading Berserk 4 days ago and I'm about to start on volume 15 now... Holy hell I say. Might become the first manga since DragonBall that I'm going to buy. Lurve it.

I'm glad you like it! I just reread berserk and I really forgot how bloody and rapey this beast was. I also forgot how much I loved puck! Somehow that little sunnuvabitch brought some GREAT comic relief into a manga composed mostly of rape, demons, gore, demon rape, raping demons, gory demon rape, and good ole' fashioned rape.

And if any oblivion fans want their own little gatts....

*THAT LINK CONTAINS ARMOR FROM LATE INTO THE MANGA....YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!*

If you do go after that I suggest you use some command codes (Press the tilde key "~" and click a target and type "kill" for instance. Or "TGM" for god mode.) Because the guy who designed that decided that having two super powerful guys guard the armor and sword would be hilarious. I have no idea what's going on with the griffith armor pictured there, I never really cared enough to find out since I hate him.

Haha woops D:

Well! I kinda of stopped after volume 19, the "flashback" was so epic, and the slow pace kinda bored me. So I moved on to some other things. I will pick back up later.

Spoiler: Highlight to view
After so many volumes, they really, maybe I'm crazy, haven't made a dynamic change to guts character, I don't know....
That's my report I guess.

Ahhhh, I've been taking a break from this, but I'm tempted to go back to it now that I have some time to kill.

I really hate the update schedule with berserk. I wouldnt mind getting it once a month with a little less quality, but four months in between chapters and then only getting 40 pages of content pisses me off.

Did anyone hear the rumor about how Miura was on hiatus for so long because he was addicted to Idol Master? It is old news, but everyone I know (that reads Berserk) I've talked to about it doesn't seem to know what the hell I'm talking about, and that was two years ago.

Never heard it.

If it's true it looks like he still is since it's been three months since the last chapter I think.

I have read the newest chapters. I am disappointed that there have only been twelve chapters added since where I left off, and that was three years ago. :\ Though I suppose I'll take anything I can get and try to push it out of my mind between installments.

*was thrown here by Jokerit*
And yes, the idol master "rumours" are quite true.

Now, people might say that Sankaku aint the most accurate source for information, but they have an image of the news, so yeah, it's true ^^
