Miura's artwork in this first volume already shows flashes of the genius that would define the medium. The Black Swordsman arc is raw, violent, and uncompromising — but it's the humanity underneath that makes it art. Guts isn't just angry. He's broken in a way that makes his violence feel like the only language he was ever taught. This is manga at its most ambitious.

Hard agree on the humanity underneath the violence. People who write off Berserk as edgy shock content are missing the entire point. Guts is one of the most emotionally complex characters in any medium.

This was the manga that got me into manga. The art alone is worth it but the character writing caught me completely off guard.
