According to the admin of Skull Knight.net, the wording has been used for chapters that weren't hiatus chapters before so it's not 100% guaranteed.

I can't recall a single instance where 次回 has shown up in isolation and Berserk has somehow kept on trucking on-schedule. I mean, Berserk hasn't even been regularly serialized for what is probably over a decade now, so when would 次回 ("next time") be? Even regular runs the past few years have skipped issues, hence the need for a date.

Then again I'm not a turbonerd so I'm probably wrong. Maybe it'll be back in the near-but-TBD future. :pray:

The original is something like "Were good memories not the only ones recalled?!" IIRC. Hoping to get a decent scanlation of this out by the end of the week, but sourcing scans has been an issue as of late.

I can’t believe this is happening. Guts’ long quest is almost? over. And I only started reading Berserk whilst the end of the Troll arc was wrapping up, some 15 years ago. How are folks who have been following Berserk for 2+ decades reacting to this chapter?

Where will the story go from here? A long road back to Midland to take out Griffith? But Guts still seems nowhere near Femto’s level. And what about the other Godhands. I don’t think we will get a simple ‘good’ vanquishing ‘evil’ story from now on. Will Guts quietly hang up the Dragonslayer and retire down somewhere on Elf Island with Casca? Not with both of them still Branded I think not. And there’s still the matter of the Behelit he carries around, but we know it’s just to summon Femto to kill him right? Where will the rest of the party go now?

We’re looking at another decade of manga to go easily...

My personal Berserk timeline goes something like: early 2000s buy VHS fansubs of the anime (later the DVDs), ~2002 catch up on the manga available at the time by borrowing a CD from a friend in our computer class that had the scans (back then it was hard to know where to look to download that stuff!), and the rest being history. I want to say it was a volume or two before Guts got the Berserker armor. Plenty of jokes around that time of "gee, is Casca ever going to get better??" So regardless of what happens going forward it feels like its own watershed moment of sorts.

I think it's probably to compensate for the magazines being printed on terrible cheap paper so the scans are never great.

Where as Young Animal obviously have access to the source images so their scans are going to be done on better hardware from Miura's own images, assuming he's not fully digital anyway nowadays.

drat looking at the scans I figured Miura had simplified his style a bit with more black, but he's actually just drawing that many tiny lines. The absolute madman.

Miura's hatching is absolutely absurd, it's completely flawless, and I think his most impressive artistic ability even though he has a ton of those.

He’s done this for almost 400 chapters with 17 pages per chapter and maybe averaging 5 panels per page
