Berserk: A Must-See Dark Fantasy Work
For those who have already had the opportunity to read some of my articles, you know that I really like manga and love discovering new ones. Among those that I like the most, there is Berserk . If you are reading this article for the first time, you will discover why this manga is so special.
What is Berserk about?
Berserk, which means "mad", follows the adventures of Guts, a lone warrior hunted by evil forces. From birth, Guts is plunged into a world of violence and hatred, forging a solitary and hard character. He evolves within a troop where atrocities reign, which shapes his tragic and heroic destiny.
What makes it different from other manga?
Exceptional Graphics :
Berserk is renowned for being one of the best-illustrated manga thanks to the talent of Kentarō Miura. The drawings evolve and become more beautiful over the volumes, offering an unrivaled visual quality.
Dark Fantasy Universe :
Berserk pushes its characters to their darkest limits, with chapters that require a strong heart. The universe is dark, violent and often brutal, which clearly sets it apart from other manga.
Narrative Arcs
Golden age :
This arc is a visual and historical treat, full of twists and turns, clashes, and varied characters. It sets the foundations of the manga with bloody wars and intense human relationships.
The After-Sacrifice :
Guts, marked by hatred and vengeance, fights nocturnal creatures and meets atypical characters like Serpico and Farnese. This arc symbolizes the omnipresent violence and human misery in Miura's universe.
The Reformation of the Falcon Troupe :
Griffith, the main antagonist, seeks to ascend to the throne of Midland, with new members of the Falcon's Band. This arc mixes politics and epic battles.
The Sea God's Bow :
Although considered a transitional arc, it introduces new characters such as the mermaid Isma. However, this arc was perceived as less relevant by some fans.
The Isle of Elves :
Guts and his companions finally arrive on the elf island, offering a heroic fantasy atmosphere with elves, centaurs and dwarves. This arc marks a turning point in the manga, with significant changes in the story and characters.
In short, Berserk is a masterful work of dark fantasy, with captivating story arcs and stunning art. The death of Kentarō Miura left a huge void in the manga world, but his legacy lives on through this iconic manga.
