Well, it didn't say it was on hiatus, but it also didn't give a date for the next chapter. So he's not on a strict schedule, and god only knows when we'll get the next chapter. It's safer to assume hiatus than expect a chapter and not get one.

Usually when another one is coming soon it has a date. This one just says "next time".

Yeah, that was the imperial wizard. Now reduced to keeping a monster in a barn, apparently. Perhaps it'll be one of those Ganishka monsters from a few chapters back.

From a few pages back, but I just feel the need to express just how hilariously spectacular I think that would be.

I've actually been doing my annual re-read of berserk (Oh god I'm one of those people now) recently and I check to read a few chapters and was surprised to see there was a new one! That ending was spectacular, and I really hope that next chapter just cuts back to guts' gang reaching elfheim.

I love how the wrinkled up old pope still has these gigantic kawaii uguu eyes.

I also wanted to see Rickert call Griffith out on all the horrendous poo poo he's done with all of his followers watching, but a simple slap of contempt probably did the job better. Miura is a better writer than me.

Now it just needs crazier, totally batshit insane monster designs!

Dragon's Dogema :laugh: had some of it down, but it is way off the mark for me. The writing is super cheesy, the enemies are basic fantasy fare, the whole pawn system seemed forced and awkwardly integrated, and limited gore (for a berserk stand in). The Dreamcast game nailed the atmosphere perfectly while introducing a story that felt like it fit into the cannon (and a cure for Caska yay), but was super focused beat-em up. Dark souls 1 had that nice open ended world and a lot of interesting boss to take out. Where Dogma had a more linear approach to the story. If we could get another game that visits that time-frame where Guts is traveling around dealing with apostles the creators could basically introduce anything they wanted just so long as they took it away again (end 'sperg rant).

New chapter was dope, here's to another 5 months of Miura drawing 1,000 flowers per panel.

Berserk will eventually look like this and it will happen so gradually that nobody will notice:



It's a special illustration Miura drew celebrating the 100th chapter of March Comes in Like a Lion which runs in the same magazine as Berserk.

e: loving hell I mixed up Miura and Murata again. Stupid amazing Japanese artists with M-names....

Goddamn I loved that panel to bits. :swoon: I can't really think of another manga that made me so thrilled about two of its (relatively) minor characters meeting.

this is making me want to do yet another Berserk reset reread, especially because I'm realizing I basically remember nothing that happened in that one INVASION OF THE PSEUDO-INDIAN/PERSIAN EMPIRE arc. Except for some assassins and a fat man cloud.

I fee like manga authors would be healthier if they switched to Intuos tablets for drawing. That way they could keep their backs straight and look at a monitor as opposed to being hunched over a desk.

But I guess Miura's technique with pen is already so good that he's not about to switch to new fangled technology.

Well they probably have draughting tables so the page will be raised at an angle at least.

I wonder then if he ever sells the individual page artwork anywhere? I know American comic book artists do that to make extra cash. I'm sure Miura's original work could fetch a really high price.
