Joyous.
Ha, kinda sucks, but yeah at least Casca was restored and we got some great art from him before he died.

I'm half-surprised, half-accepting...Berserk's been around for a while.

If there was a way to go out, other than actually finishing the thing, then that beautiful Skull Knight chapter that fully illustrates what happens when you chase your pain and revenge instead of moving past it is probably the way to do it. I'm going to imagine that Guts took it to heart and found peace, and I'm going to imagine Miura has done the same.

The letter says he was cared for immediately after he collapsed.

That would honestly be a disservice. Real artists are born, not made, and someone coming in to finish Berserk would just be an insult to the work. They just wouldn't have that inborn ability he did.

it's one of those things that's hard to diagnose because it often doesn't feel like heart pain, it feels like you threw your back out and then a few hours or days later you die

Yeah, you have to get screenings every few years to see if your aorta is slowly expanding/thinning, and even then you're only likely to do that because you have a connective tissue disorder.

Couldn't believe the news when I saw it, had to stop and actually process what I was reading.

It's weird. I've only ever experienced Berserk secondhand, but I'm having trouble coming to terms with Miura's passing. The man was obviously a favorite of many other talented people, which showed in their own creative work, and that is, perhaps, the most irreconcilable aspect of his death for me; he was a massive presence in the industry and now it feels like an entire island has vanished off the face of the Earth. I can only hope he's in a better place now, along with everyone else who were grateful for his talents.

He was an excellent writer and storyteller, and I've spent probably cumulatively more than a full day looking at his artwork trying to figure out how he managed to make it look so good (the answer is the he was really really really loving good). Terrible news to hear about.

It had been a while since I really followed his work but it still hit me like a brick to hear that he had passed. It is definitely a treat to reread some of the earlier chapters just to see what was there at there beginning regarding his artistic skills and to see just how much it grew over the course of the story.

Oh my loving god this sucks, I don't think I ever truly expected an ending to berserk but in my mind Miura was also somehow immortal, he would just keep going forever.
