His past, although a bit defining, helped to understand why he was the way that he was in the first volume (future events). All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you!

It tends to just be one long drawn out fight sequence for 20 or 30 pages which you can get desensitized too real quick (even with the ultra violence found within).And now celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, the entire Berserk series is being released in handsome oversized bookshelf format, each collecting three volumes of the original manga. The characters are extremely well developed, with some major points here and there that really helped me understand the heart of our cast. It’s actually really exciting to see the process of Kentaro Miura becoming much more thoughtful about the characters and the themes he’s trying to convey. Due to a disagreement with one of the editors, the manga was stalled and eventually dropped altogether. Even just as a piece of art made largely by one person over 30 years, Berserk really IS beautiful and astounding.

My only criticism would be the changing art style as you go from volume to volume (maybe this is intentional? At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. Very well done and a compelling read if you are looking for a beautifully illustrated story and interesting characters.After defeating a power guardian solo, Griffith and his Band of Hawks catches glimpses of Guts and long story short, after a battle Guts is inducted into the Hawks. Berserk Deluxe 2, really takes the time to show us Guts’ backstory, from his devastatingly sad childhood, to his first run in with Griffith and the Band of the Hawk. I am very excited for the next hardcover, and pleased we get such an intimate look at the main antagonist so early. Raised in torment, young Guts is hardened into a fearsome warrior, drawing the attention of the charismatic Griffith, commander of the elite Band of the Hawk. In 2002, Kentaro Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu (Astro Boy) Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk.

In 2002, Kentarou Miura received the second place in the Osamu Tezuka Culture Award of Excellence for Berserk.The Deluxe version of Guts adventure continues, still in the gorgeous new hardcover binding, and still containing the innard-spilling antics of aplty named Guts and his tiny, fae companion Puck. Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is manga mayhem to the extreme - violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny - and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series.
