Bummer.. I was hoping there was a new chapter out...

Does anybody know what is going on with Miura?
Did he get completely burned out or sick? or both?

No one knows. Last news I can find about him was just that Gigantomachia got released in February in the States.

I even checked SkullKnight.net, that hive of Berserk autistry, but no news. Their moderators are getting pissy about people bringing up how long it's been since there was a new chapter, insisting that there's "nothing unusual" about a break this long.

They'd probably just continue to be in denial even if Miura never updated the manga ever again...

Might be a good idea to look for Japanese-language sources, the only English sources that would care are ANN and Sankaku and the latter is massively unreliable.

Apparently Kentaro Miura's fan mail address gets published in Young Animal, and he's at least somewhat receptive to American fan mail (one of the admins of Skullknight had a letter translated and sent it to him, and actually got a reply- Berserk was about 60-70% done as of 2008 and "Band of the Hawk" is an inaccurate translation, it's actually Band of the Falcon, among other things).

Has anyone thought of organizing a care package for him? Regardless of whether he's sick, getting together a bunch of fanart, "thank you for making Berserk" letters from American fans, and other cool poo poo and mailing it to him would probably make his decade.

I guess this extended hiatus is understandable if you assume that Miura has been doing immortality research.

All I know is Berserk is loving awesome and I wanna read more of it but will wait patiently and continue exploring the deep themes and engrossing narrative threads that have been woven into the existing published works like the autistic goony gently caress that I am.

Jojo and Berserk both started out as (superior) ripoffs of Fist of the North Star. They just took completely different directions.

Edit: Also one is still updated every month lol

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
