Kentaro Miura’s Berserk is one of the greatest mangas of all time, influencing countless video games and anime shows with its greatsword-wielding protagonist, Guts.
In a dark fantasy realm reminiscent of medieval Europe, the story revolves around Guts, a lone swordsman, and Griffith, the commander of a mercenary group known as the Band of the Hawk.
The plot traces Guts’ quest for vengeance against Griffith, who betrayed him and traded his companions to gain immense demonic power.
While the franchise has had numerous adaptations, the best way to immerse yourself in the dark fantasy is through the Berserk manga, which showcases Miura’s original artwork and storytelling.
