Berserk Volume 41

BERSERK 41 arrived at my house. I opened up the envelop from Amazon not realizing what it held. My stomach dropped at the sight. The last of BERSERK Mirua wrote and drew before his death last year.I read it. I absorbed it.The volume was full of many lighthearted scenes of the various characters in Gut's band as they enjoy themselves on the elf island. Caska, still traumatized by what happened to her, is healing. We get answers on the Skull Knight and the Moon Child.And those were some beautiful scenes with Guts and Caska interacting with the Moon Child. Their child that was stolen from them by Griffith to be his new body. And then... that final scene.Mirua was at the finish line. What we had in 41 was the calm before the storm. The last breath before the confrontation between Guts, Caska, and Griffith.Rest in peace Miura Kentaro.

This is the first volume since the untimely death of Miura sensei. As such, it is heartining to see that his vision lives beyond his life. Hopefully his friend and disciples will be able to flesh out the last part of his grand vision. This volume brings that hope to light rather well. Looking forward to the next part.

This is a great series that I can’t recommend enough. This series is about hope & becoming a true hero. Food for thought; if Ken Kaneki earned a happy ending then so can Guts.

What an incredible send off for Miura. While not totally satisfying in tying up loose ends, it’s a beautiful goodbye, whether just for now or for good.

Hard to put into words what this series has meant to me. I’m moved to tears to finish the last volume he had his hands on. I put my faith in his team as he did to continue this legendary work of art.
