Berserk Deluxe Volume 3

Product Information

A grimdark epic with compelling protagonists, stomach-churning horror, heartbreaking drama and a lovecraftian sense of metaphysical worldbuilding that's as fascinating as it is terrifying. Berserk has been my favorite manga, fantasy story and perhaps favorite story ever made for over a decade now and I was really sad to hear that the man behind the masterpiece passed away earlier this year.

The Fantasia arc marked another major turning point of the series. If Lost Children and Conviction were the age of darkness, this was the beginning of the age of misguided light. Griffith changed the world in truly remarkable ways, both fascinating and terrible.

Success!

That same year, in 1982, Miura enrolled in an artistic curriculum in high school, where he and his classmates started publishing their works in school booklets, as well as having his first dōjinshi published in a fan-produced magazine. In 1985, Miura applied for the entrance examination of an art college in Nihon University. He submitted Futanabi for examination and was granted admission. This project was later nominated Best New Author work in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. Another Miura manga Noa was published in Weekly Shōnen Magazine the very same year. Due to a disagreement with one of the editors, the manga was stalled and eventually dropped altogether. This is approximately where Miura's career hit a slump. Berserk Volume 21 TPB". Dark Horse.

Above is my completely spoiler free review showing my appreciation for this series and its characters.

This is the most complex arc of the series as it's split into multiple perspectives which hasn’t really been done up until this point. Guts has reunited with his beloved Casca and her mind is still in shambles from the trauma she experienced during the Eclipse. With a new band of loyal companions at his side, Guts begins to learn how to trust, grow and love as he once did during his time in the Band of the Hawk while struggling to reconcile with his inner darkness and his hatred towards his former friend Griffith. Now Guts and Casca. This volume is everything I wanted to see in their relationship. Casca wasn't to be with Griffith who is the leader of the Band of Hawks. We got to see a little bit of her origin last volume which explains why. Deep in her heart it isn't Griffith that she wants it's Guts. There wasn't as much action in this volume which I enjoyed. Don't get me wrong I love the action but these past two volumes were pretty repetitive when it came to that. Guts' is now very vulnerable but he hasn't let loose. He's accepted his comrades which I thought was nice for his future self to hopefully regain that vulnerability. It's not until leaving the band of Hawks and returning where his vulnerability let's loose. I'm pretty sure it's all going to be destroyed next volume but I'm excited. Berserk Deluxe Volume 6 HC".

Miura inspired me as well and I regard him for being the person who taught me just how influential, meaningful and life changing art and literature can be when I first read his series over a decade ago. He changed the way I view entertainment and taught me how to appreciate the deeper meanings in everything I experience.

Raised by his adoptive father and mentor Gambino, the young Guts was forced to kill Gambino when the man attempted to murder him in misplaced blame for his wife's death for saving his life when born from his hanged mother. A few years later, an older Guts attracts the attention of a mercenary group, The Band of the Hawk, when he kills the knight Bazuso during a siege. Corkus attempts to rob Guts before he is saved by the Hawks' female captain Casca, who is in turned saved by their leader Griffith as he grievously wounds Guts. Berserk Volume 3 is Miura finally landing everything right. While the pacing is slower than expected and necessarily wanted, I think this is where Berserk finally finds the proper footing and hits each mark it aims for.Berserk Volume 4 TPB". Dark Horse.
