BERSERK

Berserk episode 338 is returning July 24!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Berserk/comments/3cfdv3/berserk_returns_338_due_july_24/



The Skullknight.net insider has been virtually 100% accurate on release dates every time before.

Now with an apparently official confirmation.

I loooooove Berserk. The manga's still ongoing too, right? I guess if I want to read the newest volumes I either have to find them online or buy them. My library won't get them because they're too graphic...

To be honest, this manga is pretty much the only one that's able to turn my stomach. I've felt bad at times when reading it, but I keep reading because the characters and the story's frickin' great. It's just so graphic. I really don't need to see how disturbingly hellish those apostles are, but still I keep reading it.

Dark Horse publishes Berserk in NA and they have all 37 collected volumes translated and available for purchase. You can probably get all of them on Amazon (there is apparently a big sale coming up within the week for Amazon's 20th anniversary IIRC).

The ultra-violence (for the better or worse) in Berserk is likely due Kentaro Miura's influences/inspiration from works like Guin Saga or Go Nagai's series (e.g. Devilman, Violence Jack).
What is really great about the series though IMO is that Miura also includes and contrasts all his violence and darkness with very touching and intimate scenes that showcase the various characters' vulnerabilities and tender emotions as well (Berserk is also inspired by shōjo manga like The Rose of Versailles).

Here is the english translation of the newest episode/chapter.

I've been wanting to read the whole of Berserk for the longest time. I was always a bit concerned by how much catching up I needed to do...

I watched the movies and decided I had to read the whole thing. And then these news happened, making it even better. And now I find myself worried; what will happen to me once I actually catch up? . Enjoying it thoroughly as I am past 140. As I knew I would.

I hope you're reading an officially translated version because most (english) fan translations (aside from Skullknight.net and Evil_Genius) can have a lot of inaccuracies to them and/or modify/remove nuance to characters and the story.

No matter how much catching up you have to do you'll be done before Miura finishes the story.

And now I find myself worried; what will happen to me once I actually catch up? .

An insane amount of waiting.

 

[Alex Strife]

Fortunately, I have!!

For anyone looking for scans of the official Dark Horse translation this person has found links to torrents of them as well as a site hosting them if you would rather just read them online:

Also PLEASE make an effort to buy the volumes and support the series officially if you decide to use these scans!

Which translation are you reading or are you going vol by vol?

 

[Alex Strife]

I'm reading Dark Horse. I might be wrong but I don't think the volumes are on sale in Spain! At the very least, I've never seen them anywhere...

[X-SOLDIER]

I watched the little film on Netflix as an attempt to motivate myself to finally start reading this. I'm thinking that I'll probably work my way through in on mangapanda, unless anyone else's got a better recommendation.

Here's the real translations. Anything that has Gutts, Gats, Gatsu, Gatts, Gutsu as his name is a fan translation and wrong.

If anyone can't wait for Evil_Genius' scanlations next week, the people at skullknight.net have translated the Korean scans already (mind you it is a translation of a translation).
