Berserk volume 7

This is where the climax of the current story arch begins. Are you ready for the most amazing battle scenes ever to exist in manga? Volume six was a quiet read, but this one is a total and awesome mayhem. And to add even more to the winning formula, volume 8 is pretty much the same. This is Berserk at maximum. I must make some spoilers for this volume, I just cant help myself not to. I will just skip to the content for now, as I am eager to reach a certain point in the story. Guts and Caska…

Berserk volume 6

It is pretty important to say that volume six is a game changer. Everything changes. The story gets complicated as it starts to evolve around the royal court, there is more intrigue now, lots of new characters appear, and finally things start to evolve between Guts and Caska. Great stuff!
Also, there is not much fighting in the first seven chapters of this book, if you do not count two murders and one attempt of murder. But do not think a Berserk volume is boring because there are less battles in …

USA manga publishers: Dark Horse

This article is based on various interviews,columns and materials from darkhorse.com and around the internet. It was a small pain to gather the information but it was worth it and I hope the next article will be even better.

Comics versus Manga: the Super-Hero strikes back

First, I want to say that I read both comics and manga. More comics and less manga, actually. Why? Because you can find more quality comics than quality manga. While currently I am reading just two manga series (Berserk and Naruto) because is hard for me to find a manga that I can enjoy, although I will soon start to read Blade of the Immortal and Old Boy. I want to say that I do not read scans but only printed stuff that I buy on the internet (supporting the …

Berserk volume 4

This volume starts with the Golden Age chapter 2 and goes deep in the story, finishing with The Golden Age chapter 6. This is a very important volume for the story, as many important things happen, destines are shaped, Guts meets Grifith and he finally finds a place to call home. If you were not already hooked on the story, this volume will do the job for you. Also, expect longer reviews from now on. Not only that the story gets way better but also a multitude of fascinating…

Berserk volume 3

This book ends the Guardians of Desire story arch and begins the greatest Berserk story arch, The Golden Age. Volume 3 starts in the middle of the fight between Guts and the Count, who transformed himself in a terrible Apostle (read monster). The little flying elf, Puck, is there too. It is amazing what distorted and amazing monster come from the imagination of Kentaro Miura. His art is really at the top when hideous monsters make their way into the story. And take notice, Miura wasn’t even close at his best in the…

Berserk volume 2

Well, here I am again with the review of the second volume from Berserk. Unfortunately, Kentaro Miura seems to have forgotten his warrior in favor of a weird Japanese game that he plays to obsession. But hey, we still have 33 volumes of Berserk to enjoy until we face the nothingness.

This second volume is called The Guardians of Desire and it is split in two chapters. Is the same Dark Horse edition like the first, and it will be read from the end of the book as usual. After the …
