The manga continues under the supervision of Miura’s longtime friend and fellow manga creator Kouji Mori, with artwork by Studio Gaga, the team of assistants who worked alongside Miura. Volume 42 was the first full volume of that continuation, with Volume 43 taking the story further. There’s still no confirmed date for its eventual conclusion. The series resumed in June 2022.
For us horror fans, Berserk is a must-read, something I’ve noted here on Dread Central before. For all the work it’s inspired over the decades, its own roots run deep into horror, with Clive Barker’s Hellraiser among Miura’s influences. There’s plenty here that calls to mind Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead and John Carpenter’s The Thing, too, especially in the grotesque creatures and the sheer punishment inflicted on the human body. That remarkable linework makes the horror all the more disturbing.
I see Berserk all over Absolute Batman, which has become one of my favorite examples of how far you can push a familiar character. The monstrous scale, the grotesque imagery, the willingness to put its hero through absolute hell: it all scratches a similar itch for me.
But the biggest reason I keep coming back to Berserk is the story itself. After spending this much time with these characters, I want to see where Mori and Studio Gaga take them while carrying forward the work Miura left behind. Another month isn’t an enormous delay in the history of this manga, but I was ready for that next book.
